A DISASTROUS GLAZE,

Destruction of the Anaconda Smelling
Company's Works in Montana, with q
Loss of About 81, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Suspected.
HELENA, M T., March 15-The most dis
astrous fire in the history of the Territory
occurred at E o'clock Thursday morning at
Anaconda, the lower works of the Anacon-
da Smelling Company being entirely de-
stroyed. The concentration and stamp mill
alone were saved The loss will
reach $1,000, GOO, though Manager Daley
will give no figures. The fire is thought to
be the result of plot, as an excellent fire
patrol is constantly on duty, but when the
fire was discovered it had such start that
nothing could be done. The Anaconda Com
pany Is a member of the copper syndicate,
and its output is over 5000, 600 pou DIS
of copper a month The fire reduces the
output one-third What is known as the
upper works are running full force. Upon
completion of the plant destroyed yester-
day, the company estim ated it would be
able to turn out about liz 900 pounds OF
COPPER per month

BURIED IN A MINE,

A Fall of Coal and Rock in a Shaft Near
Mount Carmel, Pa, Completely Cuts
OFF the Escape of Six Colliers-Eforts
Being Made for Their Rescue.
SHAMoK1N, Pa, March 15.-Patrick Leon
ard, Michael Buggy, Peter Nearsheleskia
and Vincent Rucush, of this place, and
John Hall and an unknown Hungarian
miner, of Mount Carmel, are imprisoned
in gangway of the Black Diamond
mine, near the latter town, and
1t is q question whether they viii
ever come to the surface of the earth again
The men were engaged in mining coal
about 10 o'clock Thursday morning The
cracking of timber in the gangway told
them that a rush and fall of coal was about
to occur, and to escape the miners dashed
down into the narrow tunnel Near
shelesk1a and Rucush were ten feet
in advance of the rest when sudden
~ mass of rock and coal dropped in
front of them, choking up the entrance into
the main gallery. As they turned about to
escape the falling stuff another mass of rock
and timber stopped their retreat, complete
~ isolating the men from their comrades.
An alarm spread through the mines
and the work of rescue commenced
At o'clock p. m the laborers heard faint
SOUNDS OF VOICES eagerly pusned the0 WORK,
and two hours later were enabled to hold a
conversation with Rucush. He informed
them of his own and his companions safe
ty: bunch of rugged top rock is hanging
directly over the mems heads and may fall
at any moment The fate of the men in the
second fall remains unknown The work
of liberation continues, shifts of ten men
being put on every few minutes The mouth
of the mine is thronged with excited spec
tatots and fearful relatives
