THERE seems to be some difference OF
opinion in Portland on the question of
memorializing Congress not TO declare

of that city. In Oregon, as all over the

to be recovered for the use Of bona 6de

A MICHIGAN NINE ON FIRE.

The Hecla Copper Mine in the Lake SUI
perior Country, on Fire-One Man SuffO-
cated-Her0ic Conduct Of His Comrades
In Endeavoring to Rescue His Remains
Three More Would Have Perished But
for the Undaunted Heroism of Robert
Bateman.
HANCOCK, MICH, October 7.
Last Saturday night fire was discovered
to have broken out In an idle por-
tion of the Hecla branch of the Calumet
and Hecla Mine, in the eleventh level,
between Nos. 8 and shafts, where for
several years wooden wedges from
timber were made. The accumulation
of chips and shavings, partly saturated
with oil, through some unknown cause
became ignited. Several men sent down
Saturday night to use the hose were
driven back by the smoke. Thomas
Gribble was suffocated and could not be
rescued. Sunday morning john hapson,
with three other volunteers, descended
to examine the pumps and attempted
to recover Gribble's body. After
going q short distance they were drawn
back. Rapson was overcome. He was
seen to fall back, but his comrades could
not return to him. Other volunteers
among them r. Berry yman-descended to
attempt to recover Rapson's body. Three
men were overcome. Bergman made
strenuous efforts to save his comrades.
He ran 10 the shaft for air and returning,
threw the three men into the car. Then
he ran out again for more air and re-
turned and rang the bell. The car raised
the three unconscious men. Bergman
was almost exhausted. The recovery of
the three is doubtful. There is danger
of the fire reaching the large tramway,
which is saturated with oil and may
conduct the fire to the other levels. The
extent or progress of the fire is unknown.
The m ne is filed with smoke. TIE
shafts are being closed to prevent q
draft. Great fear and excitement pre-
walls.
This is the first underground fire in
the Lake Superior Copper Mines, and the
first suspension of work in this great
copi er producer since the Strike of 1872.
The mine Is heavily timbered throughout
with pine, which is very inflammable. A
large gang descended yesterday to fight
the fire.
