MINING NOTES.

The Furnace Creek Copper company
has been incorporated by Patrick
Clark and his associates to, handle the
copper properties in the Furnace creek
range, California which were recent
ly discovered by Philip Creasor and
Fred Birney. The directors include
w. ]. c. Wakefield, Fred Birney and
Philip Creasor.
The announced purpose of Senator
w. A. Clark and his associates to ex-
tend the San Pedro, Los Angeles &
Salt Lake railroad into Bullfrog and
Goldfield mining regions of Nevada is
to be carried out by means of the Las
Vegas & TOnOpah Railroad company,
which filed articles Of incorporation
with the secretary of state of Utah.
Steamer San Mateo has arrived at
Tacoma from Nome, bringing gold bull
lion valued at $215,914
The feature of last week in mining
circles at ROssland, B. c., was the
announcement that the lie Roi has
started preparations for deepening it's
main five compartment shaft below
the 1850 foot level. The sinking of
this shaft will cost between 500 and
1925 a foot. The first train of ore
from the lie Roi for the Trail smelter,
under it's new three year contract, has
been sent.
Superintendent A. B. W. Hodges of
the CRANKY Consolidated states that he
has finally been able to blow in one
of the two new and larger furnaces
recently installed at the company's
smelling works at Grand Forks, but
was only able to do this by blowing
out one of the six smaller blast fur
naces. The only reason for not hav-
ing all eight furnaces in blast now is
the lack of power.
1t is reported that NO. tunnel of
the Morning mine at Mullan has en-
countered the You Like vein, and has
crOsscut it for II feet, in high grade
ore for the entire distance. The face
of the tunnel is still in shipping ore.
This is at depth of over 1000 feet,
being 1000 feet below No. tunnel.
Three miners at the Gladstone mine,
near Redding, Cal, were crushed to
death recently. The men, John Healy,
Darby Judge and w. Hayes, were at
work in the bottom of the double COM
partment shaft, $50 feet below the
main shaft of the tunnel when the cage
dropped back into the shaft and with
out obstruction fell to the bottom, a
distance of 2S5 feet, crushing to an
indistinguishable mass the three men
working beneath, leaving Identification
possible only by the clothing the I'M
fOrtunates had been wearing. A cOrO-
ner's jury exonerated the company
from all blame, and fixed the blame
upon Engineer Stewart.

BRITAIN GRASPS PORTAL.
Project for a Great Naval Base at
SINGAPORE.

The fact that the British govern
ment purposes to establish a vast
naval base at Singapore, which was an
nounced by the London Sunday OBJ
server, win the suggestion that this
was the first tangible result of the new
Anglo-Japanese alliance and the con-
clusiOn of the RuSsO-Japanese war, af-
fords the newspapers an opportunity
to discuss the question of using Singa-
pore as a base, which was announced
some time ago when Admiral Fisher
outlined the reorganization plan.
The newspapers now point out the
tremendous strategic value of Singa-
pore as guarding the gateway of the
Pacific, and when open to Japan's war
vessels as giving Great Britain and
Japan the whip hand over the other
European countries where the far east
is concerned.

VIOLATEDLAb0RLAW
Prominent MANUFACTURERS OF
new YORK ARRESTED.
Department of Commerce and Labor
Is Directing the Prosecution and Has
Perfect Case Prepared-It is Said
Fifty Workmen Were Imported From
England Under Contract.

New York, Sept. 26.-After eight
weeks of careful preparation the
United States district attorney of this
district has, according to reliable au-
thOrity, caused the arrest of II heads
of manufacturing concerns of this city
on warrants charging them with hav-
ing conspired through the medium of
an employers association, to violate
the contract labor law by the importa-
ton of foreign workmen. The penalty
of conviction is fine of not less than
$1,000 nor more than $4,000, or i'm
years.
1t is understood that the department
of commerce and labor is directing the
prosecution and has, through its own
agents, assisted by agents of the secret
service, prepared the case against the
accused This has involved many
months of investigation and also the
keeping, since January last, Of four
men, English tile settlers, at Ellis ISL
'and 1t is upon the evidence of these
four men, backed by an array of cor
roborative dispositions, that the gov
eminent chiefly relies.
The evidence in the case goes back
to the lockout by the Tile, Crate &
Mantel association, an employers Or
ganization, of the men of the Mosaic
& Caustic Tilelayers' & Helpers asso-
citation of New York and vicinity. on
August of last year. To make the
lockout success, it is charged, the
employers association sent one OF it's
number to England and caused adver-
tisements to appear in papers in Eng
land and Germany offering tile masons
SIS per day for eight hours labor in
the United States.
Fifty workmen, it is alleged, were
imported to the United States at the
instance of the II accused men and
were instructed to swear falsely when
questioned at Ellis island by the i'm
migration officials as to their reasons
for coming over.
Fully approaching the enormous
wealth of the II accused men, and
knowing decision against them
would be fought through all the courts
to the supreme court of the United
States, the department of commerce
and labor has decided that a perfect
case must be prepared. This, it is be-
lieved, has been accomplished.

tried for murder in the first degree.

BIG fire At BUTTE
MILLION DOLLAR Loss In CEN.
TRIAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.
Conflagraton Started About $40 a.
m. Sunday, West of Main and
South of Park Streets-Pubic Ii
brary Suffers by Loss-AII Fire Ap-
paratus in County in Use.

Butte, Mont, Sept 25,-Fire causing
IA loss estimated at about $1,000,000
Sunday consumed the entire portion
of Butte lying between the Shodair
block and Renshaw alley, on the
south side of West Park street, and
half destroyed the public library. 1t
totally destroyed the following blocks:
Maule, York, Barrett, Woodward and
Odgen.
The fire call was turned in at s: 40
a. m. At noon the four story Symons
store was mass of flames and the
public library and other places were
burning simultaneously. At l o'clock
Mayor MacGinniss announced the fire
under control.
The Miner building, the Broadway,
Harvard, Argyle and other buildings
were licked by the hungry flames, but
good work on the part of the owners
and firemen from the hill prevented
what seemed for time a general con-
f1agration, as stu wind was blow
ing the flaming embers everywhere.
By IL O'Clock every piece of fire ap-
paratus in Silver Bow county was at
the scene of the fire. The depart
ments from the narus, Cora, Parrot
Original, GagnOn, Anaconda and 9TH
er mines responded with alacrity and
rendered great service. The fire bat
taliOnS from the Centennial brewery,
from Walkerville, from williamsburg,
the Butte reduction works and other
places answered the general alarm and
lent valuable assistance to the regu-
lars.
A. H. Wethey, general manager of
Senator Clark's Butte properties, vol
unteered the use of the fire crews from
the Clark mines and the Butte reduc-
ton works as soon as he learned of the
extent of the fire. Mr.. Wethey also
called up the water WORKS and offered
to start the pumping plant at the Butte
reduction works if it was found neceS-
sary.
About noon telephone messages be-
gan arriving from Anaconda, Helena,
NlSSOuld anu OluSl pldCco, VI
fering the services of Tie fire depart
ments of the various cities. Anaconda
was one of the first to volunteer and
her offer was accepted. At 1928 three
hose wagons and steamer with full
crews, accompanied by Mayor McKen-
zie and other citizens, were placed
aboard a special train for this city.
Exactly 33 minutes were consumed
in making the % mile run to this city.
Quickly the apparatus was removed
from the cars and within three min
utes after the train pulled into the de-
pot Acting Chief Harper and his men
were on the scene and had several
streams playing on the big blaze. The
Smelter City firemen went to work
with vim and spirit that encouraged
their tired brothers, who had been bat
Ting with flames since early morning.
The big steamer began pumping, and
with it's assistance water was directed
into the interior of the blaze with good
effect.

Fire Hard to Fight.

iiciN W iShs'
1t was about 9 o'clock when Tie
fire broke out and First Assistant Fire
Chief ]. T. Shinnick and his men went
to work at the tap of the gong, and at
the first opening smoke, thick, yellow
and suffocating, belched forth, making
entrance impossible.
The cigar company in whose place
the fire was first fought occupies part
of the ground floor and basement OF
the big Symons Dry Goods company's
building.
The firemen realized that to keep
the fire confined to the basement and
away from the elevator shaft was the
only hope of saving the block. Three
lines of hose, manned by crews who
gaiiantiy braved the smoke, advanced
into the poisonous cloud and poured a
flood Of water into the hole. UnfOr-
tunately, the basement of the Symons
company was easily drained, and the
basement being a double one, with a
subbasement beneath it, was impos-
sible to flood.
The men could not reach the seat OF
the flames, but several went through
the rear sidewalk windows and held
the streams as close as they could to
the origin of the smoke.
Spread of the Blaze.
Finally, with a favorable change in
the wind, which kept the smoke back
temporarily, the firemen broke in the
three doors on the ground floor and
poured the water in the direction of
the elevator shaft, which rOared like
a mill race. A perfect geyser of sparks
and burning shingles spewed its tor
rent across the roofs of buildings,
starting patches of flames from the
RenshaW hall all the way to the Park
building. From IL o'clock until noon
the Symons company building burned
free as bonfire, anu the department
confined its labOrs to saving adjacent
property. The Renshaw building seem
ed doomed, as did the Lewis, King and
Clark buildings. Louis Rosenstein in
the Clark block, stayed until his plate
glass windows cracked, when he lock
ed up and was forced to fee.
Early in the course of the fire Chief
| of Police Thomas Mulholland had
stretched ropes across Renshaw alley
and later across Park from the Shodail
block to Boucher's, across West Ga
lena, at Montana and Colorado.
