EIGHT LIVES LOST
by the legendary burning of a
Mine.

Mine.
HANCOCK, Mich, Dec. 1.-The Calumet
and Hecla mine was deliberately set on
FIRE OF IL o'clock on Thursday night or
the two or three hundred men on duty at
the time all but eight escaped unframed.
At the spot where the fire originated no
one was working and this fact, taken in
connection with the disconnecting Of the
water pipes and the breaking Of the
signal wiro, leaves no room TO doubt that
the fire vas the work Of an inoendiary.
Just one year ago the mine took fire
under circumstances which pointed
strongly to inosndiarism. It is limited
that an interested syndicate is OF the
bottom Of the fires, and that the work is
that of their hired accomplish for the
purpose Of checking the production of
copper, and hence booming the price.
The management had o standing re-
ward Of 50 0G0 for the discovery OF the
man who set the FIRE year ago, and IL
human agency can discover the perpe-
traitor Of this deed it is opcnly declared
that he will be hurled head down the
burning shaft.
No means Of approximating the prob
able loss to the mine company ere Mt band.
The other fire burned for Is weeks, and
did millions Of doiiara worth OF damage.
It was nothing liz ferceness as compared
to Che present ore.
The eight imprisoned men are dead,
without doubt, as every means of es-
cape has been cut off.
