MINING NOTES.


A crowd of Butte mill and smelter-
men recently forced a body of rope
men from their work at the mines and
under threats of running them out of
town marched them to the hall Of the
smeltermen's union, where they were
compelled to join the smeltermen's
union. Ropemen came to the rescue,
fists flew right and left, and but for the
quick action of the police riot would
have occurred.
The mill and smeltermen's union de-
clared the ropemen should be affiliated
with them in accordance with the dec
aration of the Western Federation of
Miners at Denver recently, when the
subject was brought up. The ropemen
declare they propose to go it alone, as
their union has nothing in common
with the smeltermen.
A petition in bankruptc has been
filed against the Montana Zinc COM
pany. 1t was alleged that the COM
pany was insolvent and had adm4.ted
in writing its inability to pay it's debts.
The company was incorporated to de-
velop the zinc industry in the Butte
district. A large construction plant
was erected at Butte costing $150,000,
and it was recently destroyed by fire.
The liabilities are estimated at $780,
900. The assets are about $20,250.
At Rossland recently Robert Inches,
carpenter, was knocked from the
top of the shaft house at the LIE Roi
mine, and fell to the ground, 80 feet
below. He was instantly killed, his
face and head being crushed beyond
recognition.
A mining man from Wallace, Idaho,
affirms the report of an important
strike on the Callahan group located
on the divide between Nine Mile and
Beaver creeks. Over six inches of
clean shipping galena has been broken
into on the 300 foot level.
| A strike of three feet of gold ore, as
saying between $40 and $3.50 was
made recently on the Camp Bird
property in the Pine creek district To-
Gated about eight miles north from the
town of Priest River, Idaho.
| The output of the Boundary, B. c.,
mines for last week totaled 20,605

Bar silver is quoted in New York at

Hecla mine at Wallace, Idaho, has
declared it's 37th dividend. It is the
usual monthly dividend of $4,000. To
date $760,000 has been paid, of which
$4,000 was distributed this year.
The first official announcement of
the eight hour day to be instituted in
the Occur d'Alene mining district has
been made by President F. w. Brad
ley Of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan Min
ing company. 1t will begin on Aug
ust l.
F. Augustus Heinze of Butte, Mont,
has purchased the Stewart mine near
Wallace, Idaho, and he says he in

1t is understood that Mr.. Heinze
bought more than 100000 of the l.

rail. Often in such places the ties
have been broken by the weight of
passing trains, and thus the rail is abb
solutely unsupported for q considerable
space.
81 am aware that often tie appears
rotten when in reality it has solid
core and all due allowance has been
made for that. A number OF ties are
rotten only on the surface. but even
then the wood that his rotted away has
Ioosened the creepers and allowed
considerable amount of looseness and
play on the part of the creepers used to
keep the rails from sliding. This is so
bad that in dozens of places the rails
have slid for spaces of from six inches
to two or three feet. In sliding thus
the spikes are naturally dragged out OF
place, and no attempt seems to have
been made to have them put right. In
many plcaes the rails have slid to such
an extent that the heads OF the ties
have come together SO as to form an
angle.
"The braces are all twisted and out
of place. Dozens of them can be picked
MP from the track by the fingers and
quite few are lying clear of the rails
altogether. There is not one of them
| in so that is doing the work for which
| it was placed there.
"The creepers are all broken almost
without exception and can be picked
from under the rails by the hundreds.
Gin places the rails are lying alto
gether out of the perpendicular, and if
a line were dropped from the outside
edge of the rail to the ties on which lit
is placed it would be found out of the
perpendicular by quite an inch. just
a little more than this would mean
serious accident, for this occurs in
places quite as dangerous as that in
which the accident took place.
! SIN many places the rails have been
worn to such an extent that the part
on which the fange of the wheels
touches has been worn flush with the
fish plates at the points of the rails,
and in many places there are marks on
the fish plate showing where the wheels
of passing train have struck it. If
these rails become much more worn
nothing is more certain than that SOON
er or later contact with the fish plate
will throw train off the track.
SIN my own mind 1 am absolutely
; convinced that the accident was caused
purely and simply by spreading rail.
There are many other possible explain
ations, but a cursory examination of
the roadbed will show that this is the
most probable.
At the actual scene of the accident
the ties appear to be thoroughly rotten.
1t NAV be possible that they have a
solid core, but they certainly do not
look it. The people of Camden and
neighborhood have long expected an
accident in the vicinity. All who were
seen agreed that the two section fore
men in charge of the sections there are
conscientious men, who examine and
report on the track regularly. 1t is
. said that these reports are taken NO
notice Of at all at headquarters.
