CHICAGO, Nov. ID.
News is received here that on Friday
night the bed of Prairie Creek broke
through one of the mines Of the Chicago,
Wilmington & Vermillion Coal Company,
at Streatcr, in this State. The bed of
the stream at the point where the break
was made Is only eight or nine inches
above bed of twenty. eight feet of quick
sand, and the rains of Friday caused
pressure enough to break through the bed
and the quicksand into the mine. The
hole thus made is about 200 by 400 feet.
Only four men were working in the mine
when the break occurred, and all of them
escaped. The most of the implements
and ell but two of the mules employed
in the shaft were gotten out. The loss
to the company is estimated at 100000.
It will require four or five weeks to pump
out the mine and repair the break.
CHEYENNE, Nov. Ia.
a meeting of citizens was held this
evening TO agitate the question of in
creased mail service for the Pacific Coast.
Governor Hoyt presented resolutions re-
citing the fact that the Territories of
Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Utah and
Washington, and the States of Oregon,
Nevada and California, containing over
l,500, 900 people, have but one mail per
day east and west; that the States and
Territories named and the public press
thereof be requested to take such interest
in the furtherance Of the design as to in
duce Congress in the premises as they
may deem fit. This meeting suggests
that public meetings and petitions to
Congress backed by an earnest effort of
the press of the Pacific Coast would prob
ably be more desirable methods of ac-
complishing the end proposed; that the
press of the Coast be appealed to for its
aid and encouragement in the furtherance
of the object. A series of meetings will
be held on the Pacific Coast. Two mails
per day are wanted.
