Captain John Brannigan, one of thu
earliest settlers in Butte, and whr
is well and faVorably known to TIKI
old-imers, met with an accident in the
ColuSa Parrot mine which nearly cost
him the sight of his eyes, and that he
was not fatally injured is due to his
sense of smell.
Captain Brannigan was at one tins
| in partnership with A W. AIcCune OF
Salt Lake and John Caplice of this city
when they secured a contract from the
! Anaconda company in 1884 to furnish
the company with $4,000 cords of wood
at 80 per cord. 1t was Captain Brannf-
! gan also who had an option on the
| famous Anaconda mine when Marcus
DAILY was about to leave Butte. He
! asked Mr. DAILY to take a look at the
mine, and the latter thought so well of
IT that he gave Captain Brannigan
$4,000 for his option of $4,000 on the
mine, and the famous property passed
into the ownership of DAILY. Haggin and
Hearst
The party given at Columbia Gar
dens by William Scallon and Miss Seal

lhere coy iounging loges. While vaii-
eolored lights lent a beautiful aspect
TO the entire surroundings. The hos
