OF Hay Near Town OF Kendall and
May Die As Result.
CONCLUSION OF THE BRAIN

Was Thrown, His Head Striking
Some Ice.

Albert Hutchinson, who is well
known among the BUSINESS men IT
Lewistown. met with a serious aud
| perhaps fatal accident last Thursday
with a load of hay. The account as
given by the Kendall Miner is as fol-
| lows:
Albert Hutchinson, one of the old
time freighters of Fergus county, is
lying in room in the Shaules hotel
suffering from a critical and perhaps
fatal injury, sustained yesterday af-
ternoon about o'clock as a result of
falling rom load Of hay which he
Shaules. He is still in a partially un-
conscious state and while his condi-
ton is somewhat more hopeful than
during the night, he is still in very
grave danger.
Hutchinson was bringing a big load
of hay, the load being roped to the
wagon, He evidently tried to turn
out of the road just at the foot of
Sand hill, about 400 yards below town.
The road is very uneven at that point
and the load overturned. throwing the
driver about Is feet He struck direct
ly on his head on an icy place on the
side of the hill and was rendered un
conscious. The team broke loose and
ran up town, that being the first that
anyone knew of the accident. DR..
Gaylord Mccoy and w. A. Shaules
hurried down the road and found
Hutchinson lying on the side of the
road and bleeding profusely from the
nose. mouth and ears. He was taker,
to the Shaules hotel and an examina-
ton showed that he had unquestion-
ably suffered a concusson of the
brain.
Hutchinson is a man of over so
years of age and, so far as known,
has no relatives in this part Of the
country. He has followed the busi-
ness of freighting and teaming since
time when the memory of man run
meth not to the contrary and has
many friends, particularly among the
old timers, who hope to see him re-
cover from the terrible injury from
which he is now suffering.
The last accounts from Kendall are
that Hutch is still unconscious and
the chances for his recovery are not
considered good.

for, the improvements having been
made on the county poor house and

Ger Martin to suspect Charles r.
Bebb, printer, who has been in this
place for number of years, of the
burglaries which were perpetrated in
the city during the summer. For that
reason, the officer, still accompanied
by Messrs Watson and Atkins, went to
Bebb's house in the southern part o.
town and arrested the young man. He
expressed much indignation but quiet
ly accompanied the officer to the
county Jail. Once there he broke
down and wept bitterly but die. not
betray anything which would lead one
to believe that he might be connected
with the commission Of il crime. He
is charged with the crime of burglary,
Hal J. Atkins being the complaining
witness.
Bebb's friends are loath to believe
that he is connected with either the
burglary or the more serious crime
with which some have thoughtlessly
connected his name He has always
bore good reputation for honesty
since coming to this city several years
ago and has been especially noted
among his fellow era etsmen and the
men for whom he has worked for his
untiring industry For four years Re
was employed as a compositor and for
part Of the time as foreman in the
mechanical department Of the Fergus
County Argus. He voluntarily re
signed that position on the 10th Of
August and on the 21st of that month,
or the following Monday morning,
took responsible position as chic al
man and job printer on the Fergus
County Democrat. He voluntarily sur.
rendered his key to the business man
ager of the Argus on the 10Th four
days before old man Studzinski was
murdered and, so far as known, did
not have any other key. That and 9TH
er circumstances would indicate that
Studzinski matter, and inasmuch as
the burglar and the murderer are the
same man or members Of the same
gang, it would appear that Bebb is
not without substantial facts to prove
his innocence Of both crimes
Under Sheriff Ed Martin, who has
been quietly but effectively working
on the Studzinski case ever since the
commission Of the crime, is retiscent
concerning the exact nature of the ev-
idnce but expresses confidence that
the guilty person or persons will be in
the tolls before another week passes,
The preliminary hearing of Bebb will
probably be held within the next "a
hours and it is expected that many
new circumstances will be developed
by that time.

Butte district to the end of 1904, is
placed at valuation of about $780,
600, ,0OO."
The mines of Butte are exhaustively
treated, their past, the percentage of
values. the outlook for the future and
many matters pertaining to them.
Considerable space is devoted to the
question of securing good ventilation
and sanitation for mines, and sugges-
tions are made as to how these results
can be obtained. In speaking of this
matter, Mr.. Walsh says:
"The quantity of explosives used in
Montana is much above the average
mining districts and the gasses from
the combustion of these explosives are
so intense as to actually become pois-
onous If good fresh air currents are
not maintained. Taking the mines
visited as whole, the ventilation of
the deeper levels, cannot be said to be
the mines along the main air currents
are fairly supplied. Appliances for
regulating air currents, such as the
use of doors and stopings in systema-
tizing the ventilation of metalliferous
mines has not had the attention which
its Importance deserves, the currents
being generally allowed to travel hap
hazard"
In some of the mines unsanitary
conditions exist. 'In most of the
large mines," says Mr.. Walsh, cit has
been found that the sanitary condi-
tions were anything but satisfactory
and a number of them are positively
injurious to the health of the miners.
In speaking of the accidents that oc-
cur in mines. Mr.. Walsh says it is the
duty of the miner to protect himself.

OUR WONDERFUL MINES.
Monnand Produces 40 Per Cent of
the Copper of the Entire World

The annual report of William
Walsh, state mine inspector, has been
submitted to Governor Toole. The re-
port is lengthy document. embrac-
ing 80 pages and fully covers all min
ing operations carried on in the state
during the year ending November 30.
Many recommendations for the cor
rection of existing evils are contained
in the report. 1t is estimated that 49,
4sO men are engaged in mining in the
state.
Speaking of copper mining, Mr..
Walsh says: OF all the countries in
the list of copper producers, the Unit
ed States is the largest and during
1902 furnished 54.5 per cent of the
worlds supply. For the last eight
years this country has furnished more
than one-half of the supply and is
likely to hold this foremost position
indefinitely. Montana has produced
27O,497.775 pounds of copper during the
calendar year 1903, or more than 40
per cent of the total production of the
United States. If the mines of Butte
were to suspend operation for a single
year, there would be famine of the
metal in the markets Of the world.
THE Butte district, containing the
leading copper mines of Montana, is
limited to an area of only about six or
seven miles in length by four or five
in width, but the veins often carry
greater wealth, owing to their unusual
dimensions, than those found in most
districts. The total production in the

Sources of Increase.

The e'principal sources of the great in
crease in the gold production of over
$860O,O00 compared with that of 1903
are easily traceable, says the Denver
Mining Reporter. Colorado added ST.
100000 to her production Of 1903, most
Of this coming from the mines OF
Cripple Creek. Nevadas output in
creased about the same amount, chief
yields of the Goldfeld mines.
The greatest progress is reported in
California, whose production exceeds
that of 1908 by $2,3OO,0OO, the increase
being caused partly by strong de-
velopment of the quartz mining and
to a less degree by the astivity Of
dredges.
Alaska and Arizona show increased
yields amounting. respectively. to
$476,s93 and $74s,7Os. A number Of
states show smaller increase, while
Utah, Montana and Washington have
less gold to their credit for 1904 than
in 1903.
Charlie Rhodes has been a prospect.
or in the Judith mountains for over %
years. He came to this country from
California and he has a brother and
other relatives residing in that state
now. He has prospected all over the
hills and has been interested in some
OF the best paying properties in the
hills. He at the time of his death had
an interest in some good ground near
Maiden and has done a great deal of
work on it. So far as the Miner was
able to learn, Rhodes was about II
years of age. He was unmarried ard
had no relatives in this state so far as
known. He was buried yesterday af-
