A ESCAPE.

A small boy and a stone came near
sending r. T. Starr. the Great Northern
express agent, to the hospital, If not his
grave, yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Starr
a thank his guardian angel that ne
wore a high linen collar which was cut
in two by a rock thrown by a small boy
during the binding wind storm. He
was returning from the depot and was
seated on the express wagon when the
missile struck him in the neck and cut
his collar in two. He fell from the wagon
and examined himself as though he was
shot. Not far distant stood the boy who
threw the rock. The latter was SO fright
ened at what he had done that he seemed
riveted to the ground but explained that
he had thrown the rock at a dog but the
strong wind had carried it wide of its
mark. Mr.. Starr was not injured, there
fore the youth was not arrested. The
express agent expresses the opinion that
the bad boys in Anaconda are a hard
combination.

Shelters Will Probably be
Enlarged.
SURVEYORS ARE AT WORK
The New Copper Combine, it is
Rum0r ed, Will Make Anaconda
the Greatest Smelter Town.

Great things are expected in Anaconda
this summer, and if half the umor come
true it will soon be the second busiest
city in Montana. The long-looked-for
Washoe Copper company operations have
become a thing of the past n now all
rumors are regarding the A~malgamated
Copper company, through which it is
claimed Anaconda will become the great
est smelling town in the western hemi-
sphere. If that time ever comes, and it
looks as though it will, the old works of
the Anaconda Copper Mining company
as they stand now will be enlarged and
a smelter also built to take the place Of
what was once contemplated for the
washoe smelter, provided sufficient
water al be secured, and it seems as
though it can. Indications already point
toward the enlargement Of the shelters
in the near future. There is color in the
rumors from the fact that surveyors are
already on the ground near the upper
works, which will see the greatest i'm
provements in the event of anything be-
ing done. The working force in the
shelters was increased considerably dur
ing the past week. and it is claimed more
men will be added right along until the
works are running full blast, which will
not be until some time in June. or July /.
AS the working force in the smelters in
creases, the number of men in the foun-
dry and other shops and plants around
Anaconda are increased, for activity in
one causes activity in the others. Ana
conda has all the natural advantages for
a practical smelter point, and with so
many large properties in Butte in the
Amalgamated Copper company it is rea-
M BILE to expect that the most of the
ore from all these mines will be treated
mere. II this comes to pass, the smelters
will be enlarged, or else a new one built,
and probably both. The people of Ana
conda are not worrying about it. They
believe the shelters will soon be running
fun blast, and that will make the old
town lively, as it used to be. Any i'm
provement on the old works or the cree
ton OF new ones will cause still more
prosperity. Real estate is looking up. A
FEW more sales are noticeable, and many
are made that are not accounted for to
the public, for reasons best known to the
parties who buy and sell. There is no
boom IN Anaconda, and the people don't
want one. but some lively sales are ex-
pected before the summer is over. Up to
80 lays ago people were leaving Ana
conda in droves for all parts Of the world.
That was before the Amalgamated Cop
per company was contaminated. The
Inter Mountain advised them not to go
for there was something better in
store. Since h the travel on the rail-
roads has been just a little less to distant
points,, n some have returned to watch
Tor what the A~malgamated Copper com
pany will bring forth for the sons of toll
and the merchants doing business in the
Copper City.

THEY CAN KILL.

Avalon (Cal.) Cor. New York sun: The
shark is generally supposed to be the
most to be dreaded Of all fishes, but it
rarely happens that an authentic account
of the destruction of human life by a
shark is recorded. The swordfish some
times dashes into ships, burying it's sharp
weapon in their sides, and causing the
, vessel to spring a leak. A ship may be
struck by a whale in midocean and
crushed. These are the notable casual
ties that attract attention on account of
their sensational features, yet lives are
lost annually where fishes of small size
are the direct or indirect cause.
In the islands of the Pacific a small
garfish is very ommon 1t has a long,
sharp beak, which gives it an arrow-like
shape. This living arrow when alarmed
dashes out from the water and goes
soarin gaway over the surface in short
bounds with such force that when it
strikes a foreign body it either passes
through it or inficts painful and serious
wounds. Native shell hunters wade over
the reefs in search of shells, lifting
punches of coral with a view to taking
the small shells from them. This &C.
complished, the coral is thrown down.
The noise often alarms the gars, they go
darling away like arrows, and shell hun
ers have been pierced and even killed by
them. IN English officer was struck by
one on the visor of his cap. This resulted
in an investigation by a representative
Of the British government, and it was
found that men a lost their lives from
this cause.
Among the casualties from fishes in
America may be mentioned several in
which the gamy tarpon was the cause.
Near the mouth Of the Mississippi the
seine haulers sometimes tax the tarpon
in the long nets, and on one occasion a
large fish leaped over the Enclosure and
struck a man, killing him instantly. Two
men were nearly lost off the coast of
Florida by a tarpon, which leaped into
the boat and knocked out two of the
planks with it's head, literally going
through the light craft. A well known
Texas fisherman was killed by a tarpon
when landing it. The fish. in making
one of it's leaps, struck him, knocked
him overheard and caused him to be
drowned.
Size is by no means a factor in deter
the dangerous nature of fishes.
This Is we'll illustrated in South America,
where the most dangerous fish in the
fresh water treams Is a creature not
The danger OF these creatures lies in
their numbers inc their insatiate rapa-
city. They are veritable b~loodhounds
that fairly fill the waters and attack all
in droves and swarms. If any
object drops into the stream it
Is at once surrounded by thousands, and
II alive it is reduced to a skeleton in q
short time. Horses in wad-
a stream have been so terrorized by
the attacks Of these unseen foes that
fell over n horse and rider were
drowned. The fish hav sharp teeth, and
they literally strip the flesh from the
limbs Of horses Or other animals thai
are exposed to their attacks.
