FIRE IN THE CALUMET MINE.
Eight Men Supposed to have Suf-
located to Death.

DETROIT, Nov. 30.-A special to the
journal from Calumet, Mich, says: ''Fire
was discovered at the eighth level of the No
) shaft of the Calumet branch, of the
Calumet and Hecla mine this morning. A
large party of men were working at the
time of the fire, which, when dis
covered, had made such progress
that the smoke was terribly dense
ana their lives were in danger. All made a
rush for the surface, but eight men are
missing, That they are dead is certain.
Among them are two Italians, named
Joseph Mosoier and Tony Catawara. The
mine location is completely covered with
dense smoke, and the fire looks worse than
1t did last time, but, being nearer the sur
face, 1t is believed the damage finally will
not be so great"
THE WORK OF AN INCENDIARY.
DETROIT, Nov. 30.--A special to the Free
Press, from Marquette, says: There is no
doubt that the fire at the Calumet and
Heca mine is the work of an incendiary.
IL began on Thanksgiving dav, just as did
the great fire of last year. About 200 mon
were at work on the Seventeenth levee, ard
about ii o'clo last night they smelled
smoke. When they attempted 10 signal
to the surface they discovered that
the signal wire was cut. The faith
full pilots, however, guided all to the
surface safely, except the eight men who
are supposed to have been overcome by
smoke on the way out Two men started
UP the No. 5 shaft to locate the fire. They
found it on the sixth level, and
also found the water connections
and signal wires cut above them. There
was no hope but fight to the lower level
and escape tn ough the main engine shaft.
All doubt of incendiarisIn is exploded. The
fire Is the deliberate work of cool, calcu-
lating, murteroUs fiend, who wN,.ld not
only destroy the mine, but the lives
OF tho miners as well At o'clock
tonight smoke was issuing from several
of the Shafts which were being covered
With timber ard earth. 1t would be foolish
to attempt to approximate the loss, as the
fire Is very much worse than that of last
year, and is liable to burn for months. The
whole community is grief stricken at the
terrible fate of eight Of their tovnmen.
The fire must burn its way, and may take
we k aud even months unless the mine can
be flooded, which is hardly probable.
COTTON MILL BURNED.

Franklin cotton mill at Shattuckville,

brick, about 60 by 100 feet. About 100
