BURIED ALIVE.
Edgar Weary, a boy, Caught in Gazing
Tunnel but Is Saved.

. Edgar Weary, aged Z years, and the
son of job Weary, a South Butte en-
gineer, had a miraculous escape from
death last evening. With a number of
other children, Edgar was playing in a
tunnel near the Northern Pacific round
house when a cave occurred. Edgar was
the only one caught, and he was COM
pletely buried under twenty tons of dirt.
His companions cried for help, and Under
Sheriff Murphy and Deputy Aware, who
fortunately CHANGED to be passing quick
ly set to work digging the boy out. There
was considerable confusion as to the
exact spot where Weary was standing
when caught by the falling earth, AMI
this caused the loss of valuable time, but
more helpers reached the scene and AL
worked desperately. The boys mothe!
ran over while all this was going en-, and
added to the horror of the situation by
her frantic appeals to the men. In about
twenty minutes, the boy was uncovered
and carried out. The rescuers had i1tt!e
hope, for life appeared to be extinct, but
they produced artificial respiration and
soon the lad showed signs of life. Final
ly he regained consciousness, and was
taken to his home. his parents n the
whole crowd OF workers being overjoyed
at his escape.

for Butte, where he is now temporarily
engaged. yesterday, and Mr.. Mcintyre
will continue to exercise the control
of the proposition. In dismissinE the
deal Mr.. Grant said the result of the ex-
animation which had taken place imme-
diately the figure at which he would part
with his holdings was quoted byl Mr..
Mcintyre, was up to every requirement,
and that the mine today is one of the
biggest in the western country. In tine
transaction Mr.. Mcintyre was to turn
over to the purchasers I'll. 900 hares for
$3.50, 900, and while everything atone per-
iod looked favorable to it's success Mr..
Farrell at the eleventh hour decided that
purchase with a lawsuit overhanging the
bonanza was bad business. With this
view of it the lea was abandoned. and
notice to tina effect was yesterday served
upon Mr.. Mcintyre.
At present Mr.. Grant Is devOting his
attention to experiments with the Peck

THE ST. FIRE.

A fire has been burning in one OF the
Anaconda mines constantly for about II
years. This fire has burned so long that
most people outside of Butte who knew of
It's existence had forgotten it, says the
Financial News of Boston.
The fire is burning in slopes that had

constituting a veritable underground

MINES AND MINING.
BUTTE & BOSTON.

George L.. Walker, managing editor Of
the Boston Financial News, who visited
Butte last week, has the following to say
of the Butte & Boston plant:
The property of the Butte & Boston Min
ing company looks decidedly different on
the side of Butte mountain than it does in
the columns of eastern newspapers. 1t is
not the worthless property with superan-
uated plants that its enemies claim; neither
is it likely to become the superior of or
even the equal of the Boston & Montana

The mining properties of the Butte &
Boston occupy positions around the edges

1t has been current gossip that several

Market opinion has been divided be-

those who beEiev that the price will

rumors that sales of lake copper have re-
Gently been made at better thar current

the reason for secrecy in the case of these
transactions having been that the big
oduce do mot care to publicly quote
a higher n just now, for fear that
such action might interfere with orders
covering new construction. -
A close observer of the situation says.
'It would be very interesting to know

surprising If copper has been sole in large
quantities at 16 3-4c, and it is thought
that if the real facts were known, that

The sales of copper have been very
heavy during the past three weeks. 1t
Us extremely difficult to get authentic in
formation, as the large producers simply
say that the copper situation is in a very
healthy condition and that the price will
not be advanced as long as the supply
lasts. 1t would appear as If copper were
trlt GNtiOnauy quoted lower than the real
market price. Why this is done, no one
except the parties interested can ex-
