Few mining camps anywhere suffered
more seriously from the drop 10 the price
OF silver in 1893 than did Creede. the
chief mining center OF Mineral county
and strong point OF attraction in 1891
and 1892, when the great veins OF the
Bachelor mountain were pouring out
millions in silver and lead. The state
ment that the Crsede OF TODAY, 30 far as
mineral product is concerned, is equal to
tho Creetie Of the 1891 period, will prove
surprising to many readers IN Colorado
and outside. 1t is, nevertheless, u solidiy
established fact, proved by the record Of

SETTLING THE CLAIMS
w. A. Clark and M. j. Connell
Will Put Up the Cash.
POWDER EXPLOSION CASES
The Proposition Made to Attorneys
Representing the Injured People.
The Sum Is said to Be
$4,000.

Propositions AVE been made and ne
gotiations are going on for the settle
ment OF all the claims against the Ken
yon-Connell Commercial company on
account of the powder explosion Of Jan.
Is. 1895. The proposition has been made
by w. A. Clark n NJ. j. Connell. the
latter president OF the company and
the former one of the stockholders. both
of whom had been defendants in the
damage suits. but who. the district
court decided. could not be held liable.
They were charged with knowledge OF
the unlawful storage of powder. and IL
could not be proven. Why they now
desire TO settle the claims Is not known,
unless it is the fact that a suit OF the
receiver OF the Kenyon-Connell com
pany IL coming to trial I'm which action
the defendants are charged with neglect
and are sued for So. 900 damages TO the
property Of the company.
The proposition has been made to the
attorneys representing the different
persons who were injured in the explo-
sion that II all claims could be settled
for $40, 900 that sum would be paid,
Mr.. Clark agreeing TO pay SIS, 900 and
Mr.. Connell 5000. Several persons who
were injured I'm the explosion but who
did not bring suit have already been
paid. II is said. Thomas Mcdonald,
who lost an arm, received 5000 from
Mr.. Clark, and he also gave Mrs. Mary
Sloan 81, 900. According to the offer
made by MI. Clark and Mr.. Council,
the $40, 600 proposed to be given has
been apportioned among the different
sets of claimants as follows: Clients
represented by Attorneys Walsh and
Kinsley of Helena, sl3, $50: those repre-
scented by John A. Shelton, 81. 500; those
represented by NJ. ID. Leehy and Judge
Brown. 81. 500. Mrs. Amelia Sloan. who
has a judgment against the Kenyon
Connel company but is unable TO col
lect It, has been offered 10 per cent. on
it. Leehy and Brown demande s., 500
and declined to take $4,000.
The different attorneys have for sew
eral days been holding conferences with
the Went of Mr.. Clark and MI. Connell,
but one Of them stated last evening that
1t was not likely that a settlement
would be made, at least not on the basis
proposed by the other side. Mr.. Walsh,
who had peer i'm town for several days,
left for st. Paul and nothing further
will be one until his return. IL the
offer for a settlement is finally accepted
the SIS, 900 suit by Receiver Quarrels
will be dismissed. as that is one of the
conditions of the offer, but IL will not
affect the suit brought by c. c. Rueger
one of the stockholders, against the
Kenyon-Connell officials for an ac-
counting. 1t is understood that w. r
Orr and Andrews Swift, two men who
We're frightfully injured In the explo-
sion. have received or will get 81. 900
each. and that Henry Tiggerman, who
lpof a lao hos haap nafH ft ann All N.
cases tried in the district court, involv.
ing the question of liability on the par
OF the directors of the company. are
still pending in the state supreme court

NOT YET AGREED.

Some of the Jurors Evidently Think
Jones Is Innocent.
There are evidently some men on he
jury that tried harles Jones who be-
lieve the fellow should again escape con-
viction. The trial vas concluded yes
terday morning and was submitted to
the jury before noon. At midnight they
had not yet agreed on a verdict and
were locked up for the night. During
the afternoon Judge Clancy called them
into court and asked them what was
the matter. Foreman Courtney said
there were simply some differences of
opinion among the Jurors. The court
hen gave them an Instruction about
the obstinate minority on the jury and
sent them back again, but the obstinate
ones We're evidently not influenced by
the courts remarks.

A HOT PRIZE FIGHT.
stole a March on the Authorities Was
Won by Fern.

won bH tfb
About $50 choice sports stole a march
on the authorities last evening and
pulled off one of the hottest prize fights
ever seen in Butte or rather out of il,
but nearly in II. for the Midway road
house just beyond police jurisdiction
was selected as the scene of the match.
Johnnie Fern and Dick Holland, both
local men, were the principals, and
they put up as pretty a fight for seven
rounds as Butte sports have ever been
accustomed to see. Fern was given the
decision in the seventh on a foul. The
match was arranged at the race track
in the afternoon and grew out of a dis
cussion at which of the principals was
the best man. 1t was finally arranged
to hang up a purse of $3.50 and ask the
men to fight for Ii. They were agree
able and only a few of the best of them
were put next. So quietly was the af-
fair arranged that the sheriffs office
never got wind of IL. The police, or
some of them at least, were on" but
since the outlying districts declared Nv
their votes that they did not want po-
police protection no attention was paid
and the sports enjoyed themselves In
utter security.
The hour set was IL o'clock n at
tina time the men entered the ring,
which in this case was the center of the
floor Of the Midway dance hall. The
fighting was very fast from the outset
but the men were very evenly match
ed. weighing not far from 140 pounds
each and neither had any advantage
for the first two rounds. In the third
Fern got first blood and at the close
of the round a a slight shade the
best of il. In the fourth Holland rail-
lied and there was no p~erceptible ad-
vantage on either side from that time
till the end of the fight. Holland was
given to fouling and after warning him
repeatedly the referee gave the fight 10
Fern in the seventh when the foul was
too rank to be overlooked and the hight
ended with honors as near even as
they could be in a prize fight.
