Any employee whose record indicates

FIRE IN ANAC0NOA APPARENTLY |S
 SPREADING
INTERFERING WITH OPERATIONS AT THREE OF COMPANIES
 BIGGEST MINES

BUTTE, Mont, June 1.-The fire and gas in the Anaconda, Neversweat and St. Lawrence mines. which had it's origin in the St. Lawrence in 1889, seems to be spreading, notwithstand- ing denials of the management. The Anaconda mine had to be shut down entirely last week, and the gas inter. fered with operations in the two ad- joining properties-the Neversweat and the St. Lawrence. Frequently gas breaks out in unexpected places and instantly fills up the underground workings, driving out the miners and making work impossible.
 For several months miners have been engaged in bulkheading the workings surrounding the fire zone in the Ana conda mine and when the bulkheads are finished it is hoped the smoke and fire question will be solved for some time to come, but mining will have to be abandoned in large portion of tho Anaconda mine. The shaft of that miue was abandoned about six months ago, since which time it has been used only as vent or chimney for the mine, and the mining in the Anaconda conducted through the Neversweat shaft.
 It is reported that the Anaconda shaft has begun to cave, but General Superintendent John Gillie says there is nothing in the situation to cause un easiress, and adds: Every once in a while we are confronted with these surges of smoke, which interferes with operations in some parts of the mines, but there is nothing alarming in the situation. Miners are bulkheadihg, and soon these workings, from which smoke is row escaping, will be sealed. We have had this to contend with q great many years and there is nothing unusual about the present situatIon.'
