later than the conventions of the other

posed this suggestion. He said the party
should avoid all alliances. He said he
placed all other parties in the damnable
category where they belong, las robbers
of the people and dangerous to the best
interests of labor" There was a man, he
said. hewing out a path through the So

action. He went to Jail once rather than
lay aside his allegiance to the cause.
Let us follow Eugene v. Debs," he said.
LET us burn our party bridges behind
us and go it alone. Let us keep away
from the 10Th of September and the boo
die of the corruptionists."

Carl Fl. Hand, consulting engineer Of

''The vertical shaft on the Watseca is

today. I'VE have about 80 men engaged
in development work. The surface
ground of the Watseca has been worked
out for a distance Of about 3,400 feet. In

The work of clearing away the debris
at the Parrot shaft has been progressing
rapidly within the past few days, and
the company officials claim that within
three weeks the mine will again be pro-

COAL BUNKERS BURNED.
Yards Of Butte Coal Company Wis
tied by Fire Last Night.

Shortly after 9 o'clock last evening the
sheds Of the Butte Goa company, located
near the old Montana Union water tank
were discovered to be on fire, and an
alarm was turned in. Owing to the strong
wind prevailing, the firemen had a diff
ficult task in controlling the blaze, but
they succeeded and considerable of the
coal was saved. The section boarding
house, and two frame bunk houses, own
ed by the railroad company and Of but
little value were destroyed, while a train

caught fire, but was quickly hauled out
Of danger. The origin Of the fire is un-
known. \

Alderman E. Z. Mayo, who estimated the

SPOKANE WAS MAD.
Last Game Of Butte-Spokane Series
Raised a Row.

In the last game of the baseball series
between a Butte team and the Spokane
clubs aggregation, our Jimmy
St. Vrain attacked the umpire for his
failure (?) to see the Spokane men cut
bases. The umpire ordered Jimmy
out Of the box, and when he refused to
lgo, declared the game forfeited to Spo-
kane, to the immense delight of 22Ol
Spokane spectators. In the account OF
the game published by the Spokesman
this paragraph appears:
Had the Butte boys been a little less
Iprofane in their remarks and more gen
tlemanly in behavior they would have
received more sympathy for such of
their kicks as We're reasonable and the
game would undoubtedly have had a
more satisfactory termination"
The same paper says editorially:
abuse of an umpire by a player on a
losing side is a poor way to attempt to
win a ball game. The Butte pitcher who
Iinsulted Umpire Dodd on the local field
yesterday not only incurred the ill-Will
of the spectators by his ungentlemanly
actions, h~t also suffered the loss of the
game whi1e there was still a chance to
win"

Wv us
ated by Electricity.
Last Saturday afternoon the electric
current was turned on In the Cochiti
reduction works at Albemarle and
things started of with a whiz that
demonstrated beyond all question the
utility Of this great unknown force as
applied to the mining proposition. The
connections, when tested, were found
perfect, and the pieces of mechanism
which are to receive and distribute the
force of the powerful current to the
various departments were found capa-
BILE of performing the duties devolved
upon them. In all great Innovations
OF this character the new machinery
requires the closest attention and care
for some time, as the sinking of the
foundation a fraction Of al inch, the
loosening OF a nut or heating OF a Jour
nal. may In a few moments cause dam
age which would necessitate a months
time to repair. The company, while
not meeting reverses of the magnitude
just described. were nevertheless unfor-
tunate enough TO burn out the arma-
ture of one Of the big alternating 1000
volt dynamos. IL was caused by a con-
Meeting shaft getting sprung In some
unaccountable manner about the six
teenth Of an inch. throwing the arma-
ture out of line, which created friction
sufficient TO cause the damage. For
tunately the mishap is of a minor char
acter and can be repaired In "A few
days time. Some interesting figures
concerning this great improvement
would probably not be amiss. The line
