[. DUNCAN
KILLED IN
THE GAGN0N

+. c. Duncan, young miner employed
at the Gagnon, was instantly killed by
an explosion of giant powder. which oc-
CURED in a stope off the 1,4OO level about
3 O'Clock this afternoon. Duncan was
alone at the time of the accident and it's
cause is a matter of conjecture. It is
supposed that he was putting a cap on
a piece of fuse when the cap exploded
and the conclusion caused several sticks
of giant powder to explode.
His face was badly lacerated, one eye
being O from the socket. No bones
were broken.
The flash of the explosion was seen by
a half dozen men in the vicinity, who
were at Duncan's side almost immedi-
ately after the accident had occurred,
but too late to be of any assistance.
Coroner Julien was at once notified
Ink the body was removed to Sherman's
undertaking rooms.
Deputy State Mine Inspector Hunter is
now investigating the accident.
Duncan was about Is years of age and
single. He was a son of Judge w. F..
duncan, a mining operator Of Pony,
Mont. A brother, NJ. NJ. Duncan. is
county attorney of Madison county.

M'D0NA[O IS
HOME AGAIN
PRESIDENT OF WESTERN LABOR
UNION DISCUSSES EIGHT
HOUR MOVEMENT.
DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT
DAILY WILL OPPOSE IT,
Thinks Miners Will Not Ask for Pass
age of Eight-Hour Law-The
Meeting at Denver.

Daniel Mcdonald president of the
Western Labor Union returned yesterday
from Colorado. Mr.. Mcdonald left Butte
May 4th to attend the Western Labor
Union convention at Denver and since
then has been visiting the different
MIC in Canyon City, Florence, Victor
and other points in Colorado.
Mr.. Mcdonald says there were 1875 dele
gates in attendance at the convention. all
of the western states being represented.
The union he said Endorsed the early
closing movement in Butte and delegated
two officers of the union to investigate
the matter fully.
1.-The miners here. I observe said Mr..
Mcdonald. "are jubilant over the pros
poets of having an eight hour day. They
seem confident that all the mines will be
running on the eight hour plan within a
ONT The Anaconda employs the larg-
est number of men in the district, but
Mr.. Dalv has always been quoted as the
friend of labor and it is not likely that he
will oppose the proposition.
''It has been stated hat the eight hour
system win give employment to a third
more men in the district, but I think that
is too large an estimate, because 1t has
been repeatedly shown, whenever the ex-
pertinent was tried, that a working man
will do as much work in eight hours as
he would in ten.
@ WV yCdlS d6O Az ll- pIlSC III Nop-
per advanced. I believe hau the miners,
then could have secured an eight hour
day. The eight hour movement has been
agitated IN Montana for ten years past,
but it has never been vigorously pushed,
not even by the miners themselves.
mo ! do not think the Montana legis-
lature will be called to TAKE any action
towards the establishment Of an eight
hour day. The union mcn will not agi-
tate the passage Of an eight hour bill lf-
ter securing it voluntarily from the mine
operators. It is not likely that the mine
operators themselves would care to go
back to the ten hour system after a trial
of the eight hour system. OF course a
big drop in copper might change the
complexion of things"
Reference was made yesterday to the
facts that the stationary engineers of the
district would make a demand for IS per
day.
This is true only SO far as the eng;n-
GERS employed in the deep mines are con-
cerned. The engineers at the big hoists
will ask for the raise but no action will
be taken by the union. The engineers
employed at the big copper mines, believe
that their labors have increased greatly
during the past few years, owing to the
great depth of the shafts and the conse-
quent addition Of many new levels.

mules were dying by dozens. and the
stencil was something awful The sailors
refused to work. and the cattlemen had to
go among the terrified animals and haul
out the dead ones. In two days we threw
