MINES IN EXCELLENT SHAPE

The Parrot Silver and Copper company
is making a splendid record this year. In
formation was received in Butte today
that the company had just declared an
other dividend of 8 per cent or 500, 600,
making a grand total of S2,276, S9S paid in
dividends to date. The last dividend is
payable February IS.
During the past few months the Par
rot has been declaring a monthly divi-
dend of 3 per cent, or at the rate of 36 per
cent per annum 1t is Known, however,
that the Parrot is earning between so and
60 per cent on it's capital stock, notwith-
standing the fact that a considerable
amount has been expended in develop
ment work during the past year.
The mines of the were never
in better shape. There are three shippers,
the Parrot, Belona and Original No. 8.
Active development is also in progress at
the Little Minah, the shaft upon which
is down 800 feet. The showing at this
property is said to be such that it gives
promise of becoming a producer at no
distant date.
The Belona is the new shat started last
year west of the Moonlight. 1t is now de
veloped to a depth of 600 feet and is said
to be one of the richest copper mines IN

DEATHS PATH
Two LucklesS Men Who Died
Before Their Time.
THE CORONER'S BUSY DAY
Investigation of the Causes That Led
Up to the Deaths of Arthur
Johns and T. E. Finnegan.
THE CORoNER'S BUSY DAY

Coroner Julien presided at two in
quests yesterday. The first was ON the
remains Of Arthur Johns, who died a few
days ago from injuries received by a fall
of ground in the Rarus mine. The sec
ond inquest was held last night and was
on the body of T. Z Finnegan, the luckless
Northern Pacific brakeman, who was
killed in d collision near Meaderville or
Saturday morning.
The jury in the first inquest met at
Sherman's undertaking rooms and adj
journed to Murray & Freund's hospital,
in order to hear the testimony of Joseph
Collie and John Call, two miners who
were injured in the Rarus the day before
the rock fell On Johns.
Collie testified that he was a miner, an
employee of the Rarus; that he and his
partner were timbering in a raise from
the 400-foot level; the ground was damp;
did not consider it dangerous; had been
sounded the day before; had been told
that it was dangerous, but the lnstruc-
tiOnS were to be cautious and keep a
sharp lookout for danger; at the time the
rCck fell they We're in the bottom, shovel
ing; it came without warning and both
men We're caught; did not know how
much ground fell on him or where 1t
came from, as he made no examination
after the accident. Witness thought he
was performing his duties in a Workman
like manner there was no reason to sup
pose there would be a fall, and did not
consider that he or anyone else was to
blame.
John Call, Collie's partner, and who
was injured with him, testified that he
was an old miner; did not consider that
he and Collie were working in a particu-
larly dangerous place; the ground had
been thoroughly examined and tested the
day before, and was pronounced safe;
the rule of the mine was that the men
should take all precautions necessary for
their safety.
Deputy Mine Inspector Frank Hunter
testified that he had made an examina-
ton of the scene of the accident immedl-
ately after the death of Johns. In his
Judgment the work should have been
done in a different manner which, he was
Of the opinion, would nave prevented the
accident. He described the ground and
said a part of it was what is called
fault" and in putting up the timbers
! the evident intention was to allow it to
stand and timber around it. He thought
it should have been knocked down.
Foreman Mcdonald said there was no
reason why the fault should have been
disturbed; it would only have made the
place larger, the intention being to keep
it as small as possible; no portion of
the fault fell, only the lighter ground
near il.
The verdict of the jury was as fol-
lows:
THAT the deceased came to his death
on the Sth day of February, 1899, at Butte,
Silver Bow county, Montana, from the
effects of injuries sustained in an unfor-
seen accident in the Rarus mine, which
occurred on February Z, 1899"

William Friedler, the switchnan, who
was slightly injured in the sarne accident,
was riding on tbs same car as Hopkins;
knew nothing of the collision until the
two trains zane together: had just en-
tered the steam bank when the trains
crashed together. Witness was thrown
into a pool of warm water. He heard no
signals.
Patrick Flynn, the s~vitchman in charge
Of Engine No. 93t and crew, testified as
follows: | left South Butte with eight
loaded cars for the Northern Pacific
transfer and had reached a point about
IS car lengths from where / was to leave
the cars when the collision occurred. /
was going about four miles an hour. We
were showing the cars and could not see
Engine $50 and the cars approaching on
account of the mist at that point. We
slgnaled by blowing the whistle before We
reached the crossing, about 200 yards
from the point where the accident &C
Cured. There was much noise in the vi
entity, which no doubt prevented the
other crew from hearing the signal. / at
trlbuted the fatality to the presence of
the steam or fog. The only precaution
we took was to slow down to five miles
an hour. The limit is, / believe, six miles
IN the yard. AS SOOn as the crash came
| left the engine and ran to the end car,
where l saw Finnegan. who was unable
to reply to my questions. He was appa-
rently dead.
The testimony of Charles Brebnef, Joe
Rdnaltz. Walter B. Dye and c. j. Leon
ard was practically the same as those
who testified earlier.
The verdict was as follows:
Tina the said 7. e. F~innegan came to
his death on the 18th day of February.
1899, at or near Meaderville, Silver Bow
county, Montana. in a collision between
two Northern Pacific trains, in the yard
of the said company, and the jury be-
1icves that the said accident was I'M
avoidable owing to the dense fog existing
at the time the accident occurred."

IN REPUBLIC CAMP.

A dispatch from Republic Camp in the
Colville reservation to the SPOKANE
Spokesman-RevieW says: The Butte "
Boston strike has been the theme of gen.
eral conversation for the past two days
and is still exciting interest. The ledge
has not yet been crossed and therefore
the average of the ledge can not be told
g. this time. AS the rock is exceedingly
hard it is almost positive that it will be
three or four days before the real value
of the ledge will be known. At present
the outlook is most encouraging that the
ledge is a strong one and the values are
certainly sufficient upon which to base
the belief that the property will come to
the front in a few months as 1t is proba-
bly, $50 ore and seven or elght feet WIDE.
The claim was opened last spring by a
short tunnel and a ledge seven feet IN
width found. The ore was not what is
usually termed high grade but 1t was SUI
ficiently valuable to warrant further de-
velopment. A drift was run to the south
along the ledge for so feet but the ore was
of less valu than where first encounter
ed. This was not remarkable when 1t is
considered that At was not more than 30
feet below the surface where encountered
in the tunnel, and as the drift proceeded
i the distance grew considerably less. Thls
was then abandoned and work on the
north drift begun. This was carried for
ward for a distance of over 800 feet and a
shaft was sunk to a depth of so feet from
the bottom of which a crosscut was run
to and across the ledge. Then came a
change in the management and the new
management decided that the proper
method to continue development was by
a cross tunnel. The wisdom of this
course has been verified by striking the
ledge where it was solid and contained
good values. The cross tunnel is some
thing over 260 feet in length and cuts the
ledge at a vertical depth of 210 feet, but
by the dip of the ledge the face of the
tunnel is $50 feet from the surface. At
the point where cut by the tunnel the
pitch of the ledge is about IS degrees.
The finding of this body of quartz has
materially enhanced the value of the
stock and has had a marked effect upon
the stocks of other companies in that vi
cinlty.
The Princess Maud tunnel was visited
by the correspondent of The Spokesman
Review. The rock in the face is still hard
and there is no reason to believe that the
ledge will be encountered for the next 80
feet. This conclusion is based upon the
angle of the ledge on the Butte & Boston
which lies nearly 800 feet south. The
management were of the opinion that the
ledge would be encountered at a point
about where the present face if the tun-
mel is but when the pitch of the ledge in
the Butte q Boston was made known it
was seen that the ledge had Strengthened
up considerable more than had been an
tlcipated.

THE RAILROAD VICTIM.

The inquiry into the cause Of the death
of T. e. Finnegan, the Northern Pacific
brakeman, who lost his life in the collid-
ing, Of switch trains near Meaderville on
saturday morning, was held at Sherman's
undertaking rooms last night.
D. r. Hopkins, a Northern Pacific
switchman, testified as follows: l had
just returned from the Colusa with five
cars of ore and four of lumber, which
I had delivered to the Northern Pacific
and was backing into the "Y" with four
empty cars. In the back trip we met the
other engine right at the switch. The re-
suit was a collision, which totally demol-
ished two fiat cars. | was in the car next
to the engine. Finnegan was on the car
farthest from the engine. We We're back
ing. We were going three or four miles
an hour. 1t was impossible to see the
other train on account Of the steam which
arose from the pond of water heal the
smelters, near the point of the accident.
AS soon as the accident occurred / noti-
fed the agent and the yardmaster. I
heard no warning whistle from the other
train. The first intimation l had thai an
accident had occurred, l saw Finnegan's
hands go up and just then I saw the cars
piled up. Finnegan was dead when I
reached him. He had been a ~switchman's
helper in my charge for about a month
or six weeks. There was no reason to be-
lieve than another train was in the vicin-
ity. The engineer of the other train could
not see the switch on account of the
fog.
Michael Monohan, engineer, testified to
the intensity of the fog, and to rules fol-
lowed by railroad men in such cases; he
said there were no rules requiring the
engineer to ring a bell at the point where
the accident occurred; he had no reason
to suppose any other trains We're near.
Peter Larson, Monohan's fireman, had
noticed the density of the fog; it was so
thick he could not see two car-lengths
ahead, yet he saw the car on which Fin
negan stood jump into the air, and it was
the fourth car from him; he thought, pos
sibly, the car jumped above the fog,
