UNION PACIFIC CUTOFF
Many Niles Saved and Heavy Grades

The Northern Pacific change in the
through trains, by which Nos. / and .

and by Helena, went into effect yes

pated regarding the Logan and Garris-

Is likely to be announced in day or

the Montana division came into Butte
yesterday to see how the trains were
running under the new arrangement,
and returned to Livingston last night.
The reason for the change in the run

A Laramie, Wyo., special to the Salt
Lake Herald says:
That the Union Pacific intends to
construct several cut-offs west of Lara
ME this spring there can now be no
doubt, Notwithstanding the denial of
President Burt, however. The contracts
have been let to Messrs. Fitzpatrick
Bros. & Collins, and their agents are
now here making the preliminary ar
engagements for commencing work
shortly after the LIST of April.
The first cutoff begins west of the
bridge over the Laramie river, five
miles from here, where the railroad
leaves the river bottom and begins to
climb the divide, which separates the
valley of the Big Laramie from that of
the Little Laramie. 1t is on these up
lands that the heavy grades and sharp
curves are encountered, which not only
are reduced, but the line distance by
the old route is Strengthened and short
ened. The old line is IS 40 miles long,
where as the new line will be only
Is 80 miles.
On this ut-off not only will distance
be saved. but in curvature and rise and
fall there is a great saving. Over $50
feet rise and fall and 254 degrees of cur
vature are avoided. The new grade is
nearly a water grade, and follows the
Laramie river almost all of the way,
crossing number of valuable ranches.

by the Union Pacific.
THE second cutoff begins a point
west of Lookout and nearly 40 miles
from Laramie The cutoff leaves the
old line at a place known as the
horseshoe curve" and goes in a north
and northeasterly direction through a
large valley on the plains. y heavy
and long rock cut is encountered north
Of Lockout. This cut is 40 feet deep
and 1000 feet long. and is very ex-
pensive piece of work. The cutoff

From the Hanging Wall After
Round of Holes Had
Boon Fired.

w. {. Tucker, a miner employed at
the Blue Jay mine, operated by the
Boston & Montana company, met ter
rble death about o'clock yesterday
afternoon by being crushed by fall of
rock.
With his partner, Edward Come,
Tucker was working in the 18th raise
of the 10th floor on the 700 foot level
They went in to pick down the loose
ground from the hanging wall, after a
round of holes had been fired, prepara-
tory to putting in set Of timbers. AS
rule the ground was good in this par
ticular locality, and Tucker who had
worked a long time in the mine. did
not seem to think there was any dan
ger.
Come, however, seemed to suspect
the ground and cautioned his partner.
saying they had better go slow and set
up the first timbers to hold the ground
without waiting till there was room for
the full set.
Tucker did not heed the warning, but
kept picking away at the hanging wall.
Suddenly Come, who had retired back
a short distance, heard loud cracking
and yelled to Tucker to look out" ac-
companying the warning shout by
jumping away. The words had not left
his mouth before the fall came Tuck
err did not nave time to escape and was
borne to the floor by the mass of falling
rock.
Come turned and looked back His
partner lay on his back with a large
rock resting on his body and many
smaller once scattered over him. Come
spoke to him, but got no response, and
at once rolled the large rock off the
body of his PROSTATE partner and ran
for assistance. Returning with help, the
dying man was uncovered and taken
tenderly to the surface. The breath of
life was still in the body and the am
bulance from Murray & Freund's hos
pital was hurriedly summoned. When
DR. Schwartz arrived with the ambu-
lance, the unfortunate man had expired.
He lived about 20 minutes after being
hurt The body and limbs had been so
terribly crushed by the falling rock It
was impossible for the man to live.
Coroner Julien was summoned and
after his investigation had been made
the body was removed to Richards I'M

be held this evening.

age and leaves a wife and family of

The beautiful and tuneful opera.
Martha" was delightfully."- and artis-

the following cast:
Lady Harriet, Mary Darlington:
Nancy, Fanny Myers; Lionel, Harry
Davies: Plunkett, Sylvan Langlois;
Tristan, Stanley Fetch: Notary Maui
rice Whsh; Servant, John Lawton.
The principals We're all in good voice,
and were heard to advantage. The cho-
rus was also excellent, and on the whole
the production of the opera was all that
could have been desired, and a most
delightful surprise to those in the au-
dience who witnessed some of the up
to-date' operas previously given by the
company. Miss Darlington, Fanny My
ers, Harry Davies and Sylvan Langlois
sang splendidly last night, and Miss
Carrington's Last Rose of Summer"
was especially sweetly done. 1t is to be
regretted that so excellent a production
as that of Martha was not the first
one of the Grau engagement.

which had long and successful run at
the New York Casino, will be given, it
being the last night of the Grau en-
