ing on a claim a short distance back Of
the Liverpool mine in Lump gulch, one
day last week We're thawing out some
giant powder in a cabin near the SHAFT
they We're sinking, when an explosion
occurred which made things lively for a
little while says the Clancy Miner.
The Latimer brothers were down in
the shaft at the time, which is about 20
feet deep, at work, and Shannon was DO
ing the thawing act at the stove In the
ca bin, which was only a few feet distant
from the shaft. There was about ten
sticks of powder Undergoing the opera
ton, and by some means one of them
caught fire and Shannon tried to
throw the stick over the dump but made
a failure of it. and becoming frightened
turned to run. He had covered a dis
lance of about sixty feet from the door
when the explosion ~ occurred and : the
logs and timbers of the building Went
flying all around him. He was thrown
violently to the ground, but aside from
being stunned for a time, escaped serl-
our injury. The two boys IN the shaft,
when the rocks, logs and tlmbers COM
menced to rain down, as they did in
great p%rofusion, jumped under the TIM
bers on either side of the shaft, and also
escaped serious injury. There was aoso-
lutely nothing left of the cabin but a
hole in the ground where it had form
erly stood. The noise of the explosion
created some little excitement in the
neighborhood for a time. but When 1t
was discovered that no particular dam
age had been done. aside from the des-
t~ruction of the cabin, it quoted down
again. It was a close call, however.

MINES AND MINING

Parrot Stock Made a Slight

THE COPPER STOCKS WEAK
The Peculiar Conditions Existing at
Old Gregory Mine Near
Clancy,
THE COPPER STOCKS WEAK

The bear element was uppermost on the
Boston Stock Exchange today. Parrot
made a splendid squirt from 49, to As, but
undo the persistent hammering of Law
son and his associates fell to A, and had
a peg in it at that point, closing at that
figure. Boston & Montana dropped a
! notch or two and closed at $3.50, although
Boston brokers' are biding l. per cent to
call any part of the capital stock of Bos-
ton & Montana at S425 for 80 days.
Butte & Boston showed a weakness,
closing at $92. Utah Con gained a point
| or two during the trading this afternoon,
closing at $40.
Private kilograms received in Butte to-
day We're to the effect that President
Franklin Farrell of the Parrot had dis
posed of his interest in the Parrot, pre-
sumably to the new copper combine. Eff
forts are being made by brokers to secure
the remaining interests, but unsuccess-
fully, as the holders of the stock are
holding for much higher figures. Until
the combine secures control, it is likely
that the stock quotations of this com
pany will be of the ~acrobatic order.

A UTAH PURCHASE.

Salt Lake Tribune An -uncontirmed
report has reached the city and is beng
freely discussed by local mining and
smelter men, that Lewisohn Bros. OF
Boston have purchased the copper plant
and its copper mines on Copper noun
tain, Box Elder county, with no less
than 5000, 900 as the amount involved in
the transaction. That the dicker has
been closed and everything perfected,
save the formalities of an ordinary con-
eyanc several very prominent persons
claim to know.
On the other hand, Mr.. John w. Flint
ham, the resident representative of the
board Of trustees, in whose hands the
interests of the Copper company are now
resting, said that he was unable to con-
firm the report. He pleaded that no o1fl-
cial notice had been transmitted to HIM
by the trustees, and believed that if such
a deal had been consummated he would
have been appraised of it. From others It
was learned that for days an attorney
for Lewiston Bros. has been examining
title to the plant and the copper mines,
and that the transfer has been prac-
tically completed at the figure men,
toned.
That the Lewisohns have long had
their eyes upon the valley as one that
affords room for another smelling plant
has long been known, while it is equally
certain that the board of trustees, con-
sisting of Charles G. Singer, David Green
and Charles Smith, has been frequently
asked to name a figure at which the coma
pany would part with the mines. At the
sale, under an order of court, which was
recently pulled off at Brigham City, the
copper properties We're awarded the trus-
tees on a bid of $149. 900, at which figure.
it is said, they nave been turned in on the
later transaction
With the steadily increasing tonnage
from the copper mines and the assurance
that the output of that class of ore will
be more than doubled within the next sis
months, the purchasers should expert
ence no difficulty in keeping the furnaces
of the copper plant alive and command
ing an equal share of the rapidly in
creasing business in this state.

"WHO Is WHO."

"Who Is Who?' at the Grand last
night proved to be a comedy of compli-
cations, literally %sprinkled with first
class vaudeville features. 1t was rather
difficult once the farce was under way
to determine really who was who or
which. The motif for the plot is fur
nished by the fact that a lawyer named
Hartland thinks he needs a partner. So
he invents one, naming him Memo. In
the progress of the piece he is accused
of the murder of Memo, and as he cannot
produce him, things look dubious for
awhile. From this spring all the ridicu-
lous complications. The farce is on the
Gay Coney Island and by the SAD
Sea Waves order. 1t came almost un-
heralded, few of the being
known here, but it does not suffer by
comparison with either of the pieces it
resembles. Coming after an attraction
like Frank Daniels, it was doubly hard
to make a favorable impression. 1t was
made all right though. Kelly and Mason
are the central figures, and while they of
necessity go ever the same old farce
comedy ground they manage to introduce
many new gags and business, and are all
round clever comedians. The farce
fairly bristles with specialties. At first
glance Miss Grace Cummings, the SOU
brette, seemed to be an average pretty
young girl. Blu in the second act she
sang c~harningly IN a trio and the last
act introduced an imitation turn which
simply captured the house. She was en-
cored many times. She is a clever
; dancer also. The cornet selection by the
Whiting Sisters was encored many times
Their execution was faultless, and next
year they go abroad. Harry N. WEIGH
is a good dancer and singer. c.. A. Pussy
has an excellent voice, and there is q
fairly good quartet. In fact it would bt
impossible to specify half the turns and
the best ones. The tax off, on the
stage was exceptionally good. The musk
is dashing and catchy, and was com.
posed especially for the production by ths
musical director, Herbert Diller. The
company certainly deserves to play tt
the capacity of the house, and doubt
less will every night. The engagement
lasts three more nights and "Wednesday
