lake.
Around James peak are number of
lakes and il is one of the beauty spots
Of Colorado. The mountains have per-
petual SHOWS and big glaciers form during
the winter. One of these began 10 slide
gradually, so low at first that it was
almost impcrceptiblc For days it was
hardly observed Then suddenly it made
sweep for the lake and carried with it
several summer cottages in its path. The
cottages were carried into the waters like
50 many toys and completely demolished,
The big hotel close to the lake escaped
with a soaking. When the glacier slipped
into the water it threw up tidal wave
which rose many feet in the air and swept
through the second story of the hotel.

S|XTY-N|NE MILES
OF RAILWAY BUILT
IN THE TREASURE STATE DURING
THE YEAR 1902, ACCORDING
TO OFFICIAL FIGURES.

New York, Jan. Only 50 miles OF
railway were built in Montana during the
past year.
According to the Railroad Gazette, that
approximately 6,o26 miles Of new steam
railroad have been built within the United
States between January l and December
81, 1902. The figures are exclusive OF
second track, sidings and all electric lines.
Rebuilt mileage is also excluded except
where the work involved such extensive
changes in alignment that new route was
established, as in the case Of the Southern
Pacific between certain points in Nevada.
Railroad building was reported done IN
AZ states and territories, and Oklahoma
leads the list, with track laid on 70 miles
OF new line during the present year. Texas
comes second, with 400 miles Arkansas is
third, with 37I miles and Indian Territory
is fourth, with 363 miles. Georgia built
$50 miles during the year, In addition to
these Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and New
Mexico show returns OF over goo miles
built and Alabama, California, Florida,
Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missis-
sippi Ohio. Pennsylvania, Washington and
West Virginia built between 100 and goo
miles. No steam mileage was reported
from Alaska, Delaware, Idaho, Maryland,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode
Island or Wyoming
The table following show that the cur
rent figures are considerably larger than
those for any year during the past decade.
This new mileage has not been exceeded
since 1888.
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1903-01-02

The reflection on Big Butte was so vivid
that every boulder on the bare slopes
could be distinguished.
The loss. which will almos. reach $i5,-
600, was not covered by insurance as the
mine had been practically abandoned. The
origin OF the fire is unknown, but it is be-
lieved hot coal fell from the furnace in the
engine house where the fire had been
banked for the night by the engineer, and
set fire to the engine house floor.
The Lexington mine was located as
years ago and is one of the oldest mines
in Silver Bow county. Its first owner was
A. J. Davis he operated by means Of a
horse and whim as far back as g years
ago.
In 1881 Judge Davis sofa the property
to a mining corporation of Paris, France,
and il was worked by them for gold and
silver until 1893. In those days the Lex
ington was paying proposition and Iso
men were worked on shift. In 1894 the
mill was stopped and then the force was
reduced to 90 men.
When silver deprecated, the owners Of
the Lexington looked around Tor some
other kind of ore, and u was found that
there was copper ore in the mine. Since
that time about IS men have been con-
stantly at work on the day shift and
these were thrown out of work by the
fire last night
The Lexington is 1900 feet deep. II
is said there is now 900 feet of water in
tie shaft
All told, the Lexington has produced
$1,000 900 worth of ore, most of which
was silver

Centerville was visited by a $4,000 fire
last night at 80 o'clock, when the hoist,
engine house, machine shop and carpenter
shop of the Lexington mine were totally
destroyed.
For hours the heavens were brilliantly
illuminated and thousands of people living
in Butte climbed the long hill to get a
nearer view of the fierce connagration. 1t
was not until the midnight hour that the
last flames sank down and a great pile Of
glowing embers was all that was left to tell
the story of one Of the biggest fires that
ever visited Butte or the neighboring
towns.
That there was no loss of life was due
TO the fact that only the day shift has been
working at the Lexington. Had there been
any men working near the mouth of the
shaft when the hoist caught fire they would
have been cornered like rats and suffoca-
ted by the thick smoke and intense heat.

PROMPT WORK OF CHEZ
SANGER AND HIS MEN

Had il not been for the prompt work of
Chief Sanger and the men who assisted
in checking the flames the residence of
Superintendent c. C.. Rueger would have
been burned to the ground. This house is
not over 100 feet from the shaft and only
a narrow street lay between it and destruc-
tion All the water available was turned
on this residence as tho mine buildings
were too far gone to hope to save them.
When the fire broke out, Superintendent
Reuger and several of the engineers under
him, were enjoying New Years dinner.
They were apprised of the fact that the
engine house was in flames by the glare
and they rushed out to battle with the
flames, but they had gained good headway
and as there was but little water TO be
had, the fire soon spread to the hoist and
machine shop.
Had the mill caught FIRE a much bigger
blaze would have been seen, but it was
saved only because of its distance from the
other buildings. Those who gave their ef-
forts in checking the flames took no
chances, however, and tore down every
thing of combustibe nature connecting
the hoist and the mill.
