A BIG MINE ON FIRE.
The Flames Are Uncomfortable and VIII Do
Immense Damage,

Immense Damage.
ASHLAND, WIS, April 3O.-The Aurora
Mine is at present the scene of the most dis
astrous mine fire that has ever taken place
on the Gogebic range. Fire was discovered
at about II o'clock yesterday morning in
shaft No. 6, about 200 feet under ground. 1t
wss burning very slowly at the time Of the
discovery, iand no serious danger
was apprehended. Efforts were made to
smother 1t, but without success 1t now
envelopes the whole mine, uncontrolled and
possibly uncomfortable.
Two of the main shafts are already fully
consumed, and it is the opinion of expert
enced mining men that the fire will be ex-
tinguished only when it has done its work
by consuming every thing in its way. The
probable loss cannot be estimated at pres
ent but will be very large. The Aurora
mine is one of 1.-The Big Four" of the
Gogebic range, and is at present owned by
Cleveland parties. Four hundred men will
be thrown out of work.

1t cannot be said that the evils of slavery or

either by the North or the South. Moreover.
it was generally believed that slavery would
soon perish of its own inherent weakness. and

Sante Fo and California Railroad was run
into aud badly wrecked et IJR sanEo, H., at
6.30 o'clock in the morning.
Four people were killed outright, Ave were
badly scalded and several others received
serious wounds. The train was running on
time, and the extra freight, through some in-
excusable error of the train dispatcher, was
allowed TO follow her The engine crashed
into the private car driving il upon the steps
OF the Pullman car Santa Anna.
The fireman Of the freight engine jumped
and escaped, but the engineer was crushed
against the boiler head. In the private
car was j. l.. Hart, director OF the Calf
fornia Construction Railway. He lives at
Brookline Mass. Both his legs were
broken, and he was badly scalded. His
son and daughter, who accompanied him,
were killed instantly. Henry w. Lamb, also
ia the private car, was scalded about the
face and body Palmer, the freight brake
man, was hurled over the freight engine into
the mass of debris, and he escaped with a
bad scald on his face and both hands were
terribly burned.
One of the saddest features Of the accident
Is that Miss Alice Hart was killed within n
few feet of the man who was soon 10 be her
husband. She WAS engaged 20 be married to-
Henry Il. Lamb, and the young couple were
on their way East 70 be married when the
accident occurred.
