ANOTHER BUTTE ACCIDENT.
John McGraw Struck by the Cage in
the Anaconda

John McGraw, a miner employed as
powder man at the Anaconda, was
struck by cage at the 100 level. at 7:30
Yesterday morning, says the Butte
Miner, and sustained a fracture of the
skull and other injuries which are like
~ to prove fatal.
McGraw was on the day shift. and it
was his duty to get off at the 100 level
on the way down and get the day s
supply of caps and fuses for distribu-
ton at the lower levels.
Yesterday morning he got off at the
100 as usual but for some unexplained
reason he fingered on the platform at
the edge of the shaft.
When the last cage came down with
the day shift the men inside heard
something strike the bonnet and
thought it was a piece of tagging
which had fallen into the shaft. At the
800 the cage stopped and McGraw was
found lying unconscious upon the bon
net.
The injured man was at once taken
to the top and removed to the Sisters
hospital. where il was found that he
had sustained fracture of the skull
and had probably received some inter-
nal injury.
McGraw regained consciousness
shortly after being brought TO the hos
pital, but the events of the morning
were entirely blotted out of his mind:
otherwise he was rational, though it
cost him a severe effort to talk.
1T was one of the queerest accidents
l ever tried to investigate, said
Deputy Mine Inspector Hunter last
evening. 1T is 26 inches from the rail
ing across the station to the collar of
the shaft, and it would have seemed a
physical impossibility for McGraw to
have leaned across the railing in such
a way as to have exposed his head to
the descending cage. 1 can only ac-
count for >he occurrence by the theory
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-03-29

that for some unknown reason McGraw
was standing between the railing and
the collar of the shaft when the cage
hit him.
1T is hard, too. to account for the
fact that the injured man was found
on the bonnet of the cage He must
have been flung back when he was hit
and then fallen into the shaft. The
speed of the cage would neutralize the
effects of such a fall, and 1 have known
of a similar accident"
When seen at the hospital late last
evening McGraw was thought to be a
little better. He complained of feeling
very sore, and said his chest hurt him.
McGraw, who is ~ years of age, has
a. wife and nine children, and resides at
Centeryille

years.
Brother w II. MacLean is very sick at ST.

have any of the L. c. T. bows call: -,

month. They were: Mr.. f. L. Stanffer. $40;
Mr.. J. c. Leitner, $3.50, and Mr.. o. N.
Durham, Si7.S6.
A new commendable feature that has been
established in connection with SANITY City
council is the death and burial fund. whereby
a member is guaranteed, in case OF death,
sufficient sum TO pay funeral expenses.
SANITY City council, which is the third
largest council of the order, has member
ship Of 275, which is rapidly increasing. The
year Just closing has been one of great pros
councils of 5000 members throughout the
United States, and particularly here in the
Northwest has the order made phenomenal
growth, large councils being located at Du-
luth, Crookston, owatonna, Winona, Manka-
to Austin Minneapolis st. Paul, Fargo,
Grand Forks. Sioux Falls and Huron.
1t Is a popularity of this order that only
travellers engaged In the business OF solicit
ing orders for merchandise at wholesale are
eligible for membership. and travelling
men in general find it to their advantage
to become members. as its social and business
influence is becoming a marked factor in
the commercial world. It's main object Is to
provide against the dangers that constantly
menace the profession. and therefore its first
consideration was to establish an indemnity
fund, which provides that for disability that
requires a member to stop work there snail
be paid him the sum of S25 per week for any
necessary period not exceeding one year, while
for death from accident there shall be PAID
to the beneficiary the sum of Sc, 300.
There is also widow ard orphans Juno

travellers and their friends who are
Vouched for by members of the order,
and a large attendance is expected.
The members of the Minneapolis coun-
ell have been invited and will come
down in a body. Seibert's orchestra
has been engaged for the occasion, and
for the benefit of those who do not
dance a musical and literary pro-
gramme has been prepared to take
place in the Ryan parlOrs adjoining
the ball room. The committee Of ar

KLoNDIkE CHRISTMAS TREE.
Decked Out With Gold Pieces and
Strings of Nuggets.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.4James I. Glenn
ents, 1.-The Eldorado king of the Klon-
dixie" who Is at the Lafayette hotel,
last night displayed one of the cost
lest, If not the costliest Christmas tree
would make Santa Claus himself stand
and blink in wonder On this richly
laden tree were $50 $40 gold pieces and
Klondike nuggets and presents worth
$4,000 which brought the total up to
$4,000. Last year the man who fixed
up the Christmas tree dined on caribou
meat, with the top of tin lard bucket
for plate, and his fingers serving the
purpose of knife and fork.
The tree occupies space in the Hotel
Lafayette and those fortunate or un-
fortunate enough to be allowed to fea
their eyes upon this prodigal display of
wealth were granted permission by the
proud owner Of 1t to sift the $40 gold
pieces through their fingers, to lift dou-
BILE handfuls of gold nuggets and guess
how much they. were worth. And all
visitors carried away little nuggets,
whether 1.-The Eldorado king had ever
seen them before or not.
Yesterday he purchased a tree five
feet high and had 1t taken to his rooms
in the Hotel Lafayette. The tree was
placed on table in the middle of the
room. With much trouble the nuggets
were strung on strong silk cord and
hung about the tree. On the table at
the base of the tree the gold pieces
were dumped. A central office detec-
tive was detailed to watch the tree.

PRESSING HIS CLAIM.
Lndue Insists He Is the Owner Of
Dawson City.

OTTAWA, Dec. 25.-Joseph Ladue.
the reputed founder of Dawson City
is here to see the minister of the IN
terror in regard to the issue of patents
for the land in the Yukon district,
which is now held by the Joseph Ladue
Mining company. With him are Col.
John B. Riley, formerly United States
consul general at Ottawa; Hon. Smith
NJ. Weed, Of New York, and Thomas
NJ. Conway, Of Pittsburg.
The company which Mr. Ladue pro-
notes will exert every influence in the
endeavor to establish a claim to the
townsite of Dawson City and to secure
a patent to cover the same.
There is every reason to believe that
this claim will be disputed in many
particulars. and Mr.. William Ogilvie.
the Dominion surveyor of the Yukon.
who is now in Ottawa preparing his
report to the government concerning
his Alaskan explorations. will be re-
ferred to for information as to the
true inwardness Of Ladues claims.
In respect to the routes to Klondike.
Mr.. Ladue advises the use of the Dali
ton trail as the most feasible route at
this time of the year, and this Is the
route he will probably take when he
goes in next spring. He also claims
that the only practical way of getting
supplies over the passes into the Klon-
dixie is by carriers.
