BUTTE, Mont. March 19.-rSpecial. l.
The Ella mine, situated at the foot of Idaho
street, was the scene of frightful explo-
sion this morning. by which Walter Tres
trail was fatally injured. Joseph Stuart
ana Kay Crum who were working with
him, were badly shocked by the concns-
sion. The pump was wrecked and three
sets OF timbers were blown out of the
shaft.
When the work was commenced this
morning only Walter Trestrail, Joseph
Stuart and Ray Crum went down, taking
with them eighteen sticks of giant powder
to save climbing the ladder during the day.
This powder was placed near the pump to
tslaw out, and work was commenced in q
level about fifteen feet away. About s
O'Clock Trestrail put in shot, which he
warned his comrades was unusually heavy.
Trestrail and Crum climbed the ladder
about forty-tive feet. while Stuart went
back into the level, where he thought he
would be perfectly safe.
When the shot was fired the powder all
went with it, and frightful explosion fol-
lowed, filing the shaft with flying pieces
OF rock and timbers. blowing the pumps
into fragments and lifting the roof entirely
of. The concussion was so strong where
the two men we're hanging upon the lad
der that Trestrail was torn from it and fell
back to the bottom. Crum fortunately
was able to retain his hold, but it was
only by most violent exertion, the force of
the blast being sufficient to tear his jacket
into ribbons.
Immediately after the explosion powder
fumes began to rise so dense that it was
with difficulty that Crum was able to climb
out. Stuart had been terribly shocked and
almost stunned by the conclusion, but
managed to crawl out through the smoke
and up the ladder. 1t took the men few
minutes to recover and they went back
down the shaft to bring Tncstrail. He was
found stretched across a pile of timbers at
the bottom of the shaft, unconscious from
the combined effects of the fall and smoke.
He had been working in the Ella but two
shifts

insane, but likely to become violent.
Judge McAdam decided to leave the ques-
ton to a jury, and an inquest was begun.
Armand answered number of questions
concerning his commitment and life on
Wards island nationally. Mrs. Alexander
said that after his services were dispensed
with Armand wrote her asking for her in

A LAZY MAYS PARADISE.
The slothful Lives Of the Peasants Of
Paraghay.

Butter is very rare in the Paraguayan
capital, because the peasants will not
attend to their cows, lead them to good
pasture and work churn. At Asun-
cion we have seen the COWS turned out
into the street to Craze, where there is
next to nothing to eat. At Villa Con-
cepcion the case Is the same, whereas
II the cows were led half mile to the
edge of the town they would find
abundant pasture and give good milk.
This Is OILY one instance ont of Q thou
sand. Take, again, those old and
young women we saw squattiug IN the
market with little scraps 81 produce
spread out before them. Suppose they
sell this for ten Cents, they have
enough to buy mate, tobacco and
pandioca, which are their chief ali.
fnents; aud thus they keep the house,
hold going, with the help OF oranges,
that lie in many places a foot deep on
the ground. A caustic observer has
said that the Paraguayan peasant lives
on mate and the smell of a creased
rag. The creased rag is an exaggera-
ton. Mate, mandioca, tobacco, sugar
cane, oranges aud cana rum as
Q luxury, such are the ordinary
cpd extraordinary articles of COZ
SNpption. With poor food such as
this, the men ere naturally Weak
and incident; and being at the same
tifhe the lords of creation, they pass
their lives in meditative laziness, and
leave the women to do what little work
is absolutely required to keep a roof
over their heads. These Paraguayans,
poor and ignorant as they may be, are
proud and susceptible; they never say
thank you except as formula Of re-
fusal; it is useless to order them about;
they must be treated with gentleness
and persuasion, as equals, and even
then not much can be got out of them,
So I was told by dozen men who have
had varied experience in that country.
The educated Paraguayaps themselves
admit this much, but without notable
disapproval; and with an impatient
click OF the tongue against the teeth,
and much writhing and struggling Of
neck and shoulders, they will protest
against Americanism, progress, apd
doing things quickly. at is not in the
character of the nation" they will say.
