The Alaska daily empire., 1923-08-24

HELENA, Mont, Aug. 24-Pumps have been drawn and the North Butte mine, one of the famous copper properties of the Butte district, is being permitted to flood with water to the 2,S0O level. from which point there is drainage to an adjoining mine. Depletion of considerable portion of the ore reserves and the present discouraging condition of the metal market are given as the reason for the abandonment.
 The North Butte mine has been the scene of two disastrous accidents, the most recent of which. in June. 1917, cost 168 lives. The other, in 1914, resulted in more than score of fatalities.
 It was in the North Butte in 1917 that Manus Duggan contrived the plan of improvising bulkhead dur ing the fire. His cool-headedness at that time is said to have saved the lives of more than twenty miners whom he led to an old drift where they took refuge from the deadly gases behind bulkhead of boards and clohting. Duggan lost his life at- tempting to rescue a miner after the bulkhead had been torn down and

CANADA TO ASK PATH FOR RUM

VICTORIA, E. C.. Aug. 2i--That the federal government start nego- tiations with the United States for the removal of present restrictions against the shipment of liquor through Alaska to the Yukon and to Atlin, B. C., is the proposal which Hon. A. M. Manson, attorney general, is laying before Premier Mckenzie King. It is proposed that Canada and the United States enter into special treaty to cover this difficulty.
 The desire of the British COlum- bia government for removal of the present embargo on liquor in Alas kan territory is caused particularly by the plight of thes liquor store at Atlin, B. C., which has on hand only a few months supply of liquor. Liquor for the Atlin store must be shipped through Skagway. but this route has been blocked by existing United States prohibition laws.

the refugees were fighting their way to clear air after forty-eight hours imprisonment
 Since this fire the improvised bulk head has been resorted to by fire trapped miners in various disasters and on several occasions has re- suited in the saving of lives. In the Argonaut mine fire in California year ago the plan was followed, with out success. It's use then was said to have been suggested by man who was with Duggan and his com rades in 1917.
 The North Butte has produced mil lions of dollars worth of ore and was said to have been one of the most up-todate properties of its kind in the world. Ventilation experiments were carried on continually and the canvas air-pipe ventilation system developed to a high degree. It was equipped with various safety de- vices, including steel fire-trap doors and emergency, refuge rooms equip ped with cold air.
 Few mines, once allowed to flood, are reopened, and 1t is thought doubtful by Montana mining men whether the famous old Butte will ever again be operated.

 The letter said Johnson would like to be President but saw no prospect Harding could be defeated for renomnisticn.
