GERMAN SPIES WORK IN BUTTE PROBABLE SERIOUS FIRES IN MINES WERE STARTED BY ENE3IIES OF U. S. Fierce Blaze in Old Working Discov- ered by Workmen; TWenty-two 31ines Connected With One on Fire, 3laking Situation a 3fost Serious One. Are German spies responsible for the recent serious fires in the Ana- conda Copper Mining company's mines at Butte? On Monday night, April 23, fire was discovered on the 1,000 -foot lev- el of the Modoc mine of the Anacon- da Copper Mining company. lt was discovered after the day shift had gohe and about an hour before the night shift came on. Before it was discovered it had gained considerable, headway and the smoke had spread through the lower levels of both the Modoc and High Ore mines and made it necessary to shut both the mines down. By the following morning the smoke from this fire had reached the connecting levels of the Speculator and Granite Mountain mines of the North Butte Mining Co. and the Butte-Balla.klava mine and it was found necessary to close down all of these. In the five mines affected ap- proximately 2,000 men were em- ployed and the total tonnage of the mines per day was between 3,000 and 4,000 tons. Largest of Mines. 'The High Ore is the largest of the Anaconda company's mines in the The Great Northern's long tunnel, - line of the number of men employed seven miles east of Lewistown, 3,153 and the daily output of ore.

Among there was a cessation for a consider- the thousands of miners employed here there is a Suspicion prevalent that these mine fires were not acci- de - ntal but were deliberately set by unknown persons. The fact that the Anaconda com- pany is one of the heaviest producers of copper and zinc and that these metals are used in great quantities in the nianufacture of munitions has able period. The short tunnel, a short distance further - east, 900 feet long, has been completed for some time. During the win- ter a lot of grading was . _ 4one in the Grass Range section through low ground which is always wet in the spring. It was handled quite eas- ily in the cold weather.

No one was near the place at the time and the theory advanced by the company officers that the power wires were broken through the settling of the ground and that these wires set the timbers on fire is the only possible theory for the origin of the fire outside of the incendiary theory. As soon as it was discovered the entire fire fighting force of the Ana- conda company was called out. It took several hours to get the down- cast changed to an upcast so as to send the volumes of smoke up through the shaft into the open air instead of down through the levels of the mines. It was supposed at first that the fire was of little conse- quence and that it could be extin- guished within a very few hours. At the end of 24 hours, however, the smoke and gases were as trou-ble- some as ever and it v..as found that the fire was making some headway. Practically every one of the 22 op- erating copper mines of the Anacon- da company is connected wtth the High Ore and it was necessary to do a great deal of bulkheading to pre- vent the smoke fron. getting into other mines. Soldiers Are Sent. 'A company of soldiers haa been sent to Butte to help guard against trouble from German spies or sympa- thizers. Every posaible precaution to protect both the mines and the re- duction plants of the different min- ing companies as well as the big powder plant of the du Pont com- pany at Ramey which is between Butte and Anaconda, has been taken Among the 20,000 miners em- ployed in the Butte district, 95 per cent are thoroughly loyal and they are deadly In earnest in their efforts to prevent any harm coming to the mining industry which furnishes them employment. The small per- centage of those who are inclined to sympathize with. Germany consists largely of men who would not do un- lawful acts. But there are a few who are under surveillance and who are being closely watched. by their fellow employes. The old fire at the Tramway mine is confined to a very small space now and the Leonard, East Ooltisii and Tramtvay mines are all being operat-, ed although the latter is not running with as full a force of men as previ- one to the fire and is not being oper- ated in the fire zone. Since the declaratidn of war against Germany, the need of better protection throughout the entire mining district has been felt and a moventent for the organization of a home guard to include thousands of men who are not eligible for army service, has been started in Butte and is meeting with big success.

CLOSt MOrANA'S OLDEST COLLEGE VOLLEGE AT DEER LODGE, FIRST INSTITUTION OF HIGHER LEARNING IN STATE. • Forced to Suspend After Struggling Existence of Thirty-three Years; Many Prominent Montana Men and Women Graduated From Institu- tion and Regret Its Loss. The oldest educational indtitution of higher learning in the ,state, the college of Montana, founded at Deer Lodge in 1884, has been forced to close its doors after a struggling ex- istence of 33 years. The trustees re- gretted to take ORB action, but it seemed the only thing to do in view of present conditions. Recently a movement was begun to raise 'an endowment fund of $160,- 000 for the college, but the long win- ter, the unsettled state of the coun- try caused by the war and the fact that so many young men are to be drafted for service made it a hard matter for solicitors, and after a two months' vigorous campaign the effort was found to be useless. The College of Montana was char- tered in 1884 and opened its doors in 1885. It was the first college in this state and the pioneer of educational work in the northwest. The college campus contained 17 acres and there art six buildings, including two dor- mitories, a manual training depart- ment, general classroom and labora- tory building and f gymnasium. The College of Montana was a Presbyterian institution, and from time to time received help from the Presbyterian board at New York city, although the students were -not re- quired to attend any particular church. An endowment of $100,000 was raised a few years ago and gave a revenue of $6,700 per year, but this was not sufficient. Many of the graduatea of this in- stitution are prominent Montana men and women today, and they regret keenly to see the end of the institu- tion. It is understood that some transfer of the institution might be made to Lewistown or Great Falls, as these citiea have signified a possibility of raising funds to give this old college a new start.
