The most serious accident that ever occurred in-a mine in Jefferson county, took place in the Hope mine at Basin Tast Wednesday, through which seven miners lost their lives. The fire which cut the imprisoned miners off from al] hope of rescue first broke out in the mill hoist located between the 200 and 300-foot levels, at about 8 o’cloek p. m., and the surface hoist, blacksmith shop, | tramway to the mill and about fifty feet of the shaft timbering was burned, after which the shaft’ caved in. The men were at work below, five of them on the 300-foot, and two on the 200 foot level. | The names of the unfortunate miners are as follows: JACK BUCKLEY, foreman, wife and two children. PATRICK BUCKLEY, unmarried. MURTY SULLIVAN, unmarried. ED, McKEON, married. WILLIAM BELDEN, married. Fam- ily in New York city on a visit. BARNEY WALL, single. ED. McoCARTHY, single. William Belden, one of the untortu- | nate miners, was a brother-in-law of| Mr. and Mrs. Walter Riddle, of Lamp City. By the most hermia efforts, and the bored incessantly, the citizens of Basin managed tosave the concentrator and some of the other buildings belonging to the property. Early Wednesday morning hose was secured from Boulder and water at the rate of about 300 gal- lons per minute poured into the burn- | ing shaft with the hope that the fire | could be extinguished, and that the im- | prisoned men were yet alive, and in some unknown manner might yet be rescued. | The Hope mine was largely owned in | Helena, and both the Hope, the scene of | the recent, disaster, and the Katy, which was visited by fire last August, says the Independent, were located by Michael ATURDAY, APRIL 11, 1896. _— mine would not have been ruined in the meantime. The reason for shutting down was not given to the public, but it was said that it was to enable the inter- ested parties to effect a plan of reorgan- ‘lization. Some very rich ore had been taken out in time past, and there were reasons to,believe that there would be in the future. The mine had prospects of becoming one of the great. wealth producers of the state. 4 * * * THE FREE COINAGE. Fifty feet additional depth is the rec- ord up to date since the work of sink- ing commenced again on this property about a month ago, making the shaft 350 feet in depth. At this point a cross- cut will be run to the vein, after which the shaft will be sunk on down to the 400. t 5 In the lower stopes and levels of the Free Coinage the bottom has always contained the largest quantity of ore, and the quality was also equally as good, and the supposition is that the present crosscut, when it reaches the vein will disclose greater bodies of ore than ever before uncovered in this property. The output of the Free Coinage to date, will compare favorably with that of any other mine in Lump gulch for the amount of work done, and the probabil- ities are that as developments progress its output will largely increase, Ld * * LONE STAR. The Pinne Brothers, who have sus- pended work for the time being on their Dollar Bill tunnel, at the head of Straw- berry gulch, will hold down the night shift for a time in the Lone Star shaft which has now reached a depth of about 125 feet. The reason for increasing the | force on this property is that one sbift of men are unable to keep the water out with a whim, which will nat be the case when there is continuous work there. The Lone Star is showing up nicely and there is now about a car load of ore on the dump awaiting shipment. There has beén continuous’ ore all the way down, and as the formation in the bottom is rapidly changing it is thought that the ore streak will widen with a little more depth. = MINING NOTES. e Old Dan Tucker will be started up in as soon as the money is in sight to keep the mine running. The papers in the Legal Tender deal seem to hang fire with a persistency that would give a pain to the internal anat- omy of a modern rock-crusher. We are informed, however, that the deal is a go, and that only some minor details, such as the amount of royalty, ete., remain to be adjusted. We are also informed that the deal has fallen through.

Mr. Hill sent them a generous supply of his celebrated Montana currant wine as a last farewell.

To say nothing about the other busi- ness transacted during the recent series of services conducted in Clancy under the supervision of Elder Stull, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, it was de- cided to build a Church building here, most of the money for which having already been guaranteed by the Church Board of Extension. Mr. M. A. Haynes donated two lote to the congregation for the purpose The The Rev. Stull will return to Clancy about May 10th to let the contract for the building. Thé rock for the founda- tion, etc., will be hauled to the lots dur- ing the next few days and ground diro- ken. D. D. Lyon, M. A. Haynes, Mrs. Emma Reeves and Mrs. F. BE. Harvey were appointed trustees, and this board will generally superintend the construc- tion of the building, and if the situaton warrants it a parsonage will also be erected ih the near future. There are o large number of members of the Methodist Church in this imme- diate vicinity, to whom the news of the erection of a Church building in Clancy will, no doubt, be most welcome.
