CAGE DROPS 1000 FEET.
Remarkable Accident at Butte & Su.
perior--No One Hurt.
lAnaconla SLandard(

An accident that in many ways was
most fortunate happened al the Black
Rock mine close to midnight Sunday
night and caused the closing down of
operations at the mine. The shut
down will probably last for two or
three days. The king bolt holding the
skip to the cage in the east COM
partment of the shaft broke when the
cage was within $50 feet of the sur
face and let the skip fall with the five
tons of ore it contained. 1t fell to the
l100-foot level in the east compart-
ment. Just below the 100 1t broke
through into the middle compartment
and crashed through the wall of the
chippy shaft 1t lodged close to the
1200-foot level and was held there,
The force of the weight, which, count
ing the skip and ore contents. was
close to six tons. did considerable
damage in falling through a space of
sides of the shaft was ripped off in
many places and at the point where
the skip tore into the main compart-
ment and the chippy shaft there was
a bad mess of it.
The most fortunate feature Of the
accident was that not single man
was even injured. A number of men
were working in the stump below the
1900 foot level and but for the skip
lodging at the 1200-foot level, these
men would all have been instantly
killed. The noise of the falling skip
and the roar as it crashed into the
sides of the shaft reached the men at
the bottom and they hurried from
their point of danger to the level
above.
Officers of the company made
hurried examination of the damage
done and found that everything below
the 1200-foot level of the old shaft
was in good shape.
another fortunate feature was the
fact that the new shaft, which has
been under construction since last
December, is now finished to the 1900
foot level and, although it is not
equipped for hosting ore, it was pos
sible to hoist the men through it.

CLEAN HANDS.
Rules Urged by the United States
Public Health Service.

Disease germs lead hand to mouth
existence. Ii the human race would
learn to keep the unwashed hand
away from the mouth many human
diseases would be greatly diminished.
We handle infectious matter more or
less constantly and we continually
carry the hands to me mouth II the
hand has recently been in contact
with infectious matter the germs of
disease may in this way be introduce
ed into the body. Many persons wet
their fingers with saliva before count
ing money, turning the pages of a
book, or performing similar acts, In
this case the process is reversed, the
infection being carried to the object
handled, there to await carriage to the
mouth of some other careless person.
In view of these facts the Z. s. public
health service has formulated the fol-
lowing simple rules of personal by
giene and recommends their adoption
by every person in the United States
Wash the hands Immediately: Be

Prospector and His Burro.- Philosopher
Discusses Surface Investigations

or, had managed, in some way or
other, to enter the employ of veal
thy corporation that was just begin,
ming the development of a prospect
that had been fayorably passed upon
by its field man, and he set about his
work with as much gusto and flourish
an as SS-a-week clerk coming down
Main street with a sport shirt on; and
while he talked very learnedly of for
nations, assures, dips, spurs and an
giles, he really had no more idea of
systematic and intelligent develop
ment of mine than an eastern col
lege graduate has of what real mine
looks like; and the way he fell down
would make one think that a lotion
cage had broken away in a 1000 foot
tunnel on a rather we'll defined vein
and followed it into the mountain for
a distance of over 5000 feet. But the
assure was a small one and never dis
closed an ore showing of more than
three inches in width. BY this time
the company was short of funds and,
becoming discouraged finally quit in
disgust, and it's property was practc-
ally abandoned for keeps. Finally
however, in the course of two or three
years afterwards an experienced pros
pector happened along, and this man
was much interested in the appear
ance of the abandoned property. He
saw at glance that the company
manager had followed nothing more
than a blind lead, and so he COM
menced prospecting around for indi-
cations of mineral existence, the first
spot attracting his attention being a
big blowout in full view of the former
managers office and but 800 feet from
the portal of the main working tunnel
on the property. Upon examination
this blowout presented some evidence
of containing mineral content and so
small shaft was started in its ex-
ploitation. The result was that
blind vein was exposed at a depth of
only Is feet, and a little more work
revealed the existence of a splendid
ore body and true fissure vein that
paralleled the little lode that the COM
pany had so fruitlessly followed for
sue ha long distance and with such
barren results. The prospector then
relocated the property, taking in all
improvements made by it's former
owners and, after a few months spent
in further exploratory work, WAS able
to sell the mine, for it was a real mine
then, to a syndicate of Philadelphia
lawyers and who, since its purchase,
have succeeded in placing the prop
erty upon a producing and dividend
paying basis.
81 want to tell YOU old Long Ears,
concluded the prospector 'if you are
out on a prospecting expedition, you
want to forget all about roulette
wheels, bar rooms and hop joints and
get down to actual work, which means
that every evidence of mineral exist
ence must be noted that float must
come in for recognition as well as for
nations, and that a little Thorough
prospecting, in the beginning, means
as much as careful management later
on; and there you &re, and then some

me. | will put in the whole of tomor-
row trying to find the ledge from
which 1t has been thrown; for, where
there is such a wealth of blossom
there is sure to be ledge somewhere
within half mile, more or less, and
the flssure is more than likely to be
mineral bearing and, with develop
ment, take rank as blown in-the-
bottle bonanza. You seem to take
but little interest in the fragments of
white quartz scattered around so pro-
fusely, and are not at all slow in eX-
pressing the opinion that the white
chips on the faro table have more
genteel and elegant appearance with
environments that should appeal more
to mankind than the deserts and the
arid places in the mountains for,
where there is roulette table and
white chips it is almost cinch that
there is a thirst parlor nearby, which
is more than can be claimed for the
section we are now in But, pone

would rather eXpend grubstake at

ace than in following up the float in

slackness that hundreds of good pros
poets in the mountain ranges are
passed by and remain undiscovered
until some man, with an eye for min
eral indications and who is really in
love with his work, comes along and
makes a discovery that makes the

the prospector, ito follow the float and

perform work of a more permanent
character later on and to neglect this
important work is often fatal to sue
cess in mining operation, as it is often
the case that extensive and costly
mining is begun without first making
q careful study of surface conditions
with the result that shafts and tun-
nels are sunk or run hundreds of feet
away from ore occurrences, and often
in the wrong direction so that, al
though a million were spent in sink
ing or driving, there would be no more
chance of making a paying mine out
of the venture than there would be Of
Roosevelt playing neutral in the pro-
gressive- Republican Democratic mix

prospector should attend strictly to

statement applies just as forcibly to
