jim SCOTT,

who was suffering from the loss Of a
hand, we found in his cabin few hun
dred yards from Leary's. He was prom
ped up in bed, and with pale, but de-
termined face, was trying to impress
upon his wife and friends that he was
all right and that their sympathy be-
longed with his afflicted friend Leary
the two men were inseperable com
panions, and always worked together)
and while conversing with us on the
cause Of the accident he acted like a
hero, and only broke down and cried
when some one informed him that it
was thought that Leary could not live
The doctors had not yet examined Mr.
Scott's wounds when we left, but i'm our
opinion a man with his determine
ton will pull through all right and We
expect soon to hear of his recovery.
BILL WILKINSON,
foreman of the mine, stood about ten
feet from the others at the time of the
explosion and escaped with a badly
burned face and hand and slight con-
fusion Of the hip, but nothing serious,
and was able to walk from the mine to
the mill, where he receiving the best OF
treatment at the hands of his friends.
The doctors returned to Custer about
5 o'clock yesterday evening, and report
ed Scott's chances for recovery good, but
Leary was not expected to live till morn.

THE CAUSE.


The explosion occurred at the edge O,
the open cut and was caused by trying
to warm stick of giant powder. 4 hole
had been drilled and Leary and Scott
were preparing cartridges preparatory
to placing them in the hole. 1t is sup
posed that stick of this powder will
not explode unless it receives blow or
jar and it is customary for the miners to
roll il in their hands and warm it over
a fire before placing it in the place
where it is to be exploded. Leary was
stopping over fire warming his car
fridge, rolling it in his hands, when it
exploded, throwing him some thirty or
forty feet, and tearing bis hands into a
thousand pieces. Scott, who was stand
ing "a few feet away, would not have
been hurt if he had not been holding a
cartridge in his right hand, which was
exploded by the shock, us it was, the
hand in which he held it was completely
torn from the wrist, and he was thrown
some eight or ten feet.
The trees in the neighborhood of the
explosion looked us if they had been
shot full of rifle balls and the ground
was covered with blood, while
portions Of the victims hands were
scattered over the rocks seventy or
eighty feet away. The hat worn by
Leary was completely riddled with
holes, AS was also the coat worn by Billy
Wilkinson.

Several others, but we haven't time
to take 'em in detail and give full par
ticulars in each case. The man who

professor, what is a DOdOf"
There are several species of the DOdO,

pears and keeps them company"
"What is he like, and what does he
dO?"
HE is generally sOft-headed young
man under % years of age, and he stanes
up and rocks the boat to hear the fat
women scream and to induce the girls
to call him GweOrge."
"DOes the boat upset?"
ut does"
"And is everybody drOwned?"
Everybody except the DOdO. He al

Is Petroleum Giving Out?

If Mr.. H.E.Wrigley is right in his paper
lately read before the American institute
of Mining Engineers, most of the wells
in New York and PENNSYLVANIA will give
out within four years. His calculations
are ingenious, but, we trust, not cOnclu-
sive. He holds that there are now left
of certainly available territory only II
square miles, and of possible but still
uncertain territory, 800 square miles
Fifty-fOur miles of actually worked ter
ritOry has produced 10000 barrels. Ele-
ven miles according to this computation,
will Yield 100000 barrels. From the
uncertain area, judging from the vary
ing result of working in similar soil a.
100000 barrels may be expected. Thus
as the future Yield will be 100000
barrels, and about 25,0O0,000 barrels are
used yearly, the main supply will give
out in between three and four years.
Should new wells not be discovered, or
old ones fill up again, the price must
rise as the period of exhaustion appro-
aches.
