elevator shaft at the place of his en-
ployment yesterday afternoon about 5
o'clock and died from his injuries an
hour later.
The exact manner in which the &C

supposed that the unfortunate young
man had quit work for the day and was
preparing TO leave the building Being
on the third floor. he decided to de-
scend by the freight elevator. and il
was in reaching out into the shaft to
secure the controlling rope that he

have had something to do with caus-
ing the accident

MAKES A NOVEL Plea
TO EVADE JUDGMENT
I onopah Man Declares He Was
Not Treated as a Gentle
man by Process Server.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CAL


NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Declaring that
his client, John McKane of Tonopah.
New, owner of the Tonopah Silver mine
and a business associate of Charles M.
Schwab, had not been treated as a
gentleman" and was in no condition
on the night of March 27 last to have
any papers served on him, former Con-
gressman John Adams asked Justice
White in the Supreme Court of Brook
lyn today to set aside a judgment
against him for $100,030 granted to
John Sloan, a wealthy Pittsburg man.
by default in June of this year. JUS
tice White took the papers in the case
and reserved decision.
The original suit in which the judg-
ment was obtained was brought
against McKane by Sloan on the
ground that the former had failed to
deliver to him 5000 shares of the Tono-
pah Mining Company, which Sloan al
legged belonged to him. AS neither Nc
Kane nor his counsel was in court,
Judgment was given to Sloan by de-
fault
In trying to have the judgment set
aside Adams said that he wanted the
case to go before a jury because his
client had never been properly served
with the papers in the case. He said
McKane had intended TO go to Europe,
and after dining at the Hotel st. Regis,
where he and his wife had been stop
pinfi, went to the steamship company
pier When he arrived there a detec-
tive handed him a paper. which Nc
Kane threw to the ground.

GOLD And COPPER Vein
In Street OF HELENA
Strike Made by Water Works
Employees Regarded of I'M
portance by Miners.

HELENA, Mont. August IA min
eral strike, which mining men believe
TO be of great Importance, was made
here today. when workmen excavating
for water works mains on South Beat
tie street struck a fifteen foot contact
vein between well formed walls of
granite and lime.
Even on the surface the vein is
highly mineralized and expert mining
men declare all the indications point
to copper and gold ore.
AS yet no assays have been made
of the ore. but that the vein will be
thoroughly developed admits of no
doubt Several rich pieces Of copper
ore have been found at different pc
riods further down the street at a
depth not exceeding five or six feet,
and it is the accepted theory that these
came from the vein or ledge uncovered
today.
The district in which the strike was
made is in proximity to the mother
lode of both the Last Chance and Dry
gulches- the latter of which is now
Main street in Helena and which yield

At OWN RISK.
Permits to Construct
on Montgomery Will
Be Issued if Desired
WARNING Is GIVEN

President Maestretti of the Board of
Public Works announced yesterday at
a meeting that permits would be grant
ed to property-owners who desired to
build on Montgomery street. The an
nouncement was made at the request of
Clinton & Day, who brought up the
matter in behalf of a number of prop
erty- owners.
Resolutions were recently adopted by
the Board of Supervisors favoring the
widening of Montgomery street, but
leaving the matter subject to the
wishes of the property-owners. Should
the owners build before the matter is
finally disposed OF they will be doing
so at their own risk
The board exonerated William
O'Shaughnessy, superintendent of street
sweeping, of the published charge that
he had stuffed the payroll of the street
sweepers and cashed dummy demands
George Boxton, Assistant Superintend-
ent of Streets, who was responsible for
the sensational story of wrongdoing,
admitted today that he had no knowl-
edge of any Irregularities in O'Shaugh-
nessy's department The board there
upon passed a vote of confidence in
O'ShaughnesSy and BoXton.
The board approved the increased es-
Innate of 100000 made by City En-
gineer Woodward for the paving and
sewering of lower Market street. The
original estimate was s166,000, but the
cost OF labor and material has SO in
creased that that sum will be in
sufficient 1t is proposed to work night
shifts to rush the improvement.
DR.. W. B. Merritt, representing the
Sutro estate, complained of the failure
of the Ocean Shore Railroad to take UP
the rails along Howard street. A. G.
Bowen, manager of the company, re-
piled that the company had started
yesterday morning to take up the
tracks Manager Chapman of the Unit
ed Railroads, who was present said his
company desired to run cars on How
ard street at once.
Stephen A. Byrne, an inspector. in
formed the board that workmen en-
ployed in the sewers were in great
danger, as there was great deal OF
gas in the sewers which escaped from
the mains, and it was necessary for the
men to take unusual precautions to
avert accidents.
protest was made by a property
owner against the filing in of Beach
street The protestant is the. owner of
a swimming baths on Beach street.
A complaint was made by the board
