Chairman oliver Lesser M Secretary
J. H. Schwend of the populist county
central committee have issued a call for
a county convention at Deer Lodge on
October 2 at 2 p. m. The call specifies
the nomination of a state senator, mem
bers for the legislature and a full county
ticket. Anaconda will be entitled to 80
delegates, Carroll 3, Race Track 2, Deer
Lodge 5, HelmVille 2 and all other pre-
cincts in the county one each.
The immediate and rapid construction
of the East Third street car line is no
longer in doubt for the reason that the
poles are already being set. The new
line from Main street east is destined to
become the main line of the Anaconda
Electric Street a line, including the
old line from Main street west to the
racetrack. The new line will run east
the full length of East Third street. Just
east of the crossing of the B., A. & P.
tracks the line makes a bend and passes
the Washoe lumber yards on the north
and takes a southeasterly direction t.
the base of the hills at the foot of the
new smelters. The poles on either side
of the line are already set from the new
shelters west as far as the corner of
Third and Ash streets, or within seven
blocks of Third and Main streets, where
it will intersect with the old line. As
soon as all the poles are set the Wire will
be strung and then the track laid. which
will be an easy matter, because very lit
tie grading will have to be done at n
point on the line. The cars will be run
ming on the new line within 80 days.

DEATH BY FIRE.

An inquest was held yesterday over
the remains of the man who was burned
to death in his cabin near the new
sme,ters the night before. Seven wit
nesses were examined. The first witness
was P. J. G.sspens, who met the deceased
for the first time Sept. 4th. His name
was Sh ca.
Tom Reed, Shea, another man and
myself went to work on the Twohy cut
ait the new works and went to live in the
cabin which was burned. Reed n I
left there two nights g and came up
town to a hotel to live. Last night when
we were coming from work I met Shea
On the railroad track going home He
had his coat butttoned up and we just
passed the time of day with him. It was
Just after 6 O'Clock. I couldn't swear he
was drunk He may lave had a drink or
two. Once Shea told me he was born in
Boston and was raised there. He said
he had worked in the mill here in Ana
conda for two years some time ago. He
was an unmarried man, according to the
statements he made to me.
Tom Reed ave much the same testi-
mony. He added that the name of the
fourth man in the cabin was John Casey.
Casey was supposed to be living with
Shea at the time of the fire, but was not
there and has not yet appeared. Reed
testified tina Shea tod him the Sheas
and the Sullivans in this city We're his
cousins and that he boarded with them
during the time he worked at the mill
here.
After the evidence had been submitted
the jury returned a verdict that the de-
ceased came to his death as the result OF
the fire in his cabin. but refused to say
whether or not the fire was accidental.

VERDICT OF DEATH BY FIRE,
Shea, Who Was Burned to Death in
His Cabin on Tuesday
Night.

All of the X. of P. delegates to the
Grand Lodge which adjourned yester-
day, are high in their praise of their
treatment at the hands of the Anaconda
people. They came at a time in Septem-
Der when the thermometer came near
reaching zero being the worst spell of
September weather ever seen in these
parts. The last day of the convention,
the weather was fine, but the delegates
say all of the days were the same to
them in the Copper City. The fine
weather, however, made it possible for
them to see more of the people and of the
city, some of the delegates being on their
first trip here. They all admired the
buildings, such as the court house,
Hearst Free Library. Margaret theater,
st. AIMS hospital, Montana hotel, city
hall and the A. O. H. building in which
the Grand Lodge was held. These build
ings are the best of the kim in the
state, and the home people do not appre-
ciate them as the delegates did and the
citizens should. The Anaconda fire de-
partment won the admiration of all. On
Tuesday the delegates witnessed an eX-
hibition run of the entire apparatus.
which pleased them immensely. Chief
Mentrum was also courteous to the Wis

THE OPHIR.
Salt Lake Tribune.

It was said yesterday by persons pro-
Tossing to have obtained the informa-
ton from others directly associated with
his enterprises, that the purchase of the
Ophir Hill group in OphiE canyon by w.
A. Clark was but the fundamental step
in the foundation of an independent
smelter in this valley. and that while
the active erection of it is not to be
undertaken until next spring, orders for
material will be placed before the ex-
piration of the present year. In support
Of this story is every movement that
has been made by the Montana million
aire since he acquired a foothold at
Ophir. 1t is no secret that when he pur-
chased the Ophir Hill, for which he paid
$S5, 900, over a year ago, he had in view
the utilization of it's ores in the opera
ton of a pyritic plant at Butte, Mont,
that had been projected by him.. Some
thing, of which the public knows moth
ing, interviewed to sidetrack that project,
however, mi to get his investment out
of the property. he equipped it with In
u~p-to-date mill, from which an enor-
nous tonnage of concentrate is coming
onto the market. The further his man.
ager, a most experienced mining man,
went into the zone on which the Ophir
is located, the greater became the vol
ume of ore, while the capacity of the
mill has become a fraction of the ca
pacity of the mine All the while dis
satisfied producers were crying them
selves hoarse for a competitive plant and
as an encouragement offering every as
surance that such a plant would COM
mand their patronage.
Then 1t daWned Upon the owner of the
Ophir Hill group that what he had dis
missed in Montana would be a most de-
sirable undertaking in Utah, and at all
events this state, like others, would af-
ford room for a pyritic plant, the ores
of his Ophir property to be the founda-
ton for it.. Then it was that Mr.. Clark
made up his mind to build. At the same
time he began to add to his Ophir pos
sessions, and n purchase has followed
another until at present he has an en-
pire of ore, such as is essential to the
undertaking. Blended with the silicious
of which are available the smelter has
a most desirable product from the mo-
ment it's fires are kindled, while the sue
cess of it is amply assured. 1t is urged
by reputable gentlement that this is the
significance of Mr.. Clark's intermittent
purchase Of the old camp and thai the
projected smelter will be ready for BUSH
ness next season. 1t will not, as a py-
ritic plant, antagonize any one it. has
been suggested for it's product must find
a way to the furnaces of the valley
smelters, where 1t will be converted into
metallic bullion and forwarded in that
form.
The recent purchase of mines at Dolly
Warden in the Deep Creek country by a
Clark and his enterprises. Is also re-
ferred to in connection with the smell
ter, and that the story is reliable will
be generally accepted.
