Investigation of the War Department.

1t is the common report that persons
who are not now charged with negl-
gence or incompetence will be caught in
the net Of inquiry, while others who
are openly accused will be found
blameless. If an inquiry should be
made into the cause of so much sick
ness outside the army, it would be
found that many people who think
themselves in good condition are really
caught in the net of disease. Many of
them are losing strength so slowly
that they do not know it, To build up
strength and enrich the blood, use Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. 1t is good for
any arrangement of stomach, liver and
bowels, and nothing equals it for dys-
pepsia and indigestion.

An Unusual Accident Occurs In a
Butte Mine.

William Gillroney and William
Flynn, two miners employed in the Lit
tie st. Lawrence, were terribly burned
late yesterday afternoon by an explo-
sion of burning ore On the 500-foot
level of the mine, says the Butte Inter
Mountain. Both men are at the Sis
ters' hospital, and are in a serious con-
dition, and little hope IS entertained
for their recovery.
Gillroney and Flynn were partners,
and started to work yesterday after
noon on the 3 o'clock shift About )
o'clock they were sent to the 500-foot
level to work, and, arriving there,
found fire in the drift. The two men
Immediately went to the station, rang
for the cage and reported the discovery
of the fire.
They returned to the level with a line
of hose and soon had a stream of water
playing On the flames. The men had
scarcely turned water on when a low
rumbling sound came from the debris,
followed the next moment by an eX-
-Jlosion. The men We in the drift
near the station, and The force of the
explosion threw them back on the cage.
With great presence of mind Flynn as
sisted his partner to a safe position on
the cage, and then gave the signal for
the surface.
The entire affair was only OF few
minutes duration. but in that time
both men, when they reached the sur
face, were literally parboiled from head
to foot. On reaching the surface the
Sisters ambulance was summoned and
both men were removed to the hos
pital.
When they arrived at the hospital it
was found that Gillroney mad sustained
the most serious injury. His head,
arms, body and legs were frightfully
burned, the only part of his body that
had escaped being his hips and feet.
Flynn was also badly burned about
the limbs by the hot steam, and the
skin peeled off his body in folds. Gill
roney IS . widower about s. years of
age, and resided with an infant child
at 227 Anaconda road. Flynn is a single

Comnressed AIR PLANT.

The Dexter Gold Mining company of

machinery men for a compressed air
plant which viii be used for the opera
ton of the hoist and pumps at its mine
at Tuscarora, New, besides which ma
chine drills viii also be used in the opera
ton of the property.
Besides the air plant the company also
ordered an electric dynamo of 125-horse
power. which viii furnish the motive
power for the air compressor, the
dynamo TO be operated in connection with
the electric plant which furnishes power
for the 40-stamp mill, and with these
new improvements il is expected that in
the operation of the hoist and pump a
saving of $50 daily will be made in the
mere matter of coal consumption.
AS previously stated in these columns
the mine is in a most hattering condi-
ton with enough ore blocked out in it's
workings to keep the 40-stamp mill in
constant operation for an indefinite
period.

discovered the highest mountain in
North America. The peak, which tow

Sushitna river. The government to-
pographer. it is said, took triangula-
lions for the elevation, aScertaining by
scientific calculation the exact height
of the peak, which he declared to be
more than 10000 feet. The mountain
was named BuIlshae, a word spoken in
exclamation by the Indian guide of the
party on first beholding the wonderful
peak. The members Of the survey are
reported to have expressed the opinion
that an ascent of Bullshae would be
almost impossible, so steep are its

Encouraging Disclosures of High
Grade Ore On the 600 Level.

Gill S. Peyton of the Picnic, Over
land and Chloride Point mining com
panies. who has just returned from a
visit of inspection of all three of these
promising properties, which are locat-
ed in as many different mining dis
tricts, is more than pleased with the
flattering showing Of them ALL
The Picnic, at Silver City, which
gives promise of developing into a pro-
ducing and paying mine at no distant
day, was the first property visited, Mr..
PeytonS statement concerning its
workings corroborating the report ap-
pearing in these columns a few days
ago relative TO the new strike made in
this Silver City group, which adjoins
the South Swansea and the Four Aces
on the south, and Mr.. Peyton saws
that on the 60ofoot level in the incline
shaft a drift has been run south on a
regular body of ore for a distance OF. so
feet. the mineral carrying values of sc
per cent lead and 30 ounces in silver to
the ton, the expectation being that AT
the junction of the Picnic and Park
veins a fine body of high grade ore will
be uncovered.
A drift from the 6O0-foot is also being
driven to the north, it being the inten-
ton eventually to connect with tbe
Four Aces workings for air.
In speaking OF the -Four Aces, Mr.
Peyton made reference to the success
which has attended the efforts of A
Murphy since he took charge of the
property a short time ago. as now he
has a shipment of good ore out, and is
taking out another, while he is sinking
on a nice pay streak of about the same
character and values as that now be-
ing followed in the Picnic ground.
At the Overland development work
is progressing finely, and splendid bod
les Of an excellent quality and grade Of
teaching ore are being blocked out in
its workings, samples of which were
bought into the city office, together
with specimens Of Picnic ore, upon Mr.
Peyt0ns return.

Mr.. Wooley was in some respects a
remarkable man. While in no sense
was he a public man, still he has liber-
ally assisted in the building I'D of the
town. One characteristic was his indom-
liable will and his determination to
overcome obstacles when it became
necessary to achieve a purpose. This
was shown when, in 1856, a call was
made for men and teams to go out and
meet the stranded handcart company,
who came near perishing on the plains.
MI. Wooley was one who went. Before
reaching the wretched immigrants three
feet OF snow was encountered and
progress was well nigh impossible The
rellet company gave up in despair, and
turned back, but Mr.. Wooley parted
company with them and said ne would
meet and save the immigrants or die in
the attempt. He went forward, and one
other man, Robert Wilson, followed
him. They reached the handcart trav-
elers and were struggling heroically to
beat trail for them when a relief ex-
petition found them. Those who We're
members of the handcart company will
remember the deceased for this act of
determination, for it undoubtedly saved
their lives. In many similar ways has
the deceased proven himself a true
man and friend TO those in need. He
died respected by every citizen Of
kaysvilie, and by many who now re-
side elsewhere in the state who knew
him in early days.
He leaves three children, two of
whom reside here. Funeral services
are to be held tomorrow.
