FULLY As BAD As REPRESENTED
Details Of the Harrisburg, Pa,
Railway Disaster.
First Reports Of the Accident Net
Exaggerated.
Eleven People Killed and Several More
in Dying Condition--An OPP
orator Responsible for
the Accident.

BY the Associated Press.l
HARRrsBURG, Pa, June %. The acci-
dent to the western express on the
Pennsylvania road in this city early
this morning was fully as bad as the
frat dispatches indicated. Ten persons
were killed and large number injured,
though all except about dozen were
only slightly hurt and most of them
proceeded on their journey.
The story OF the accident is brief. The
first section stopped near station and
was just starting when the second Sec
tion OF the heavy train, made up OF Pull
man sleepers, express and baggage cars,
plunged into the private car OF George
Westinghouse, the well-known inventor,
and drove forward, crushing the three
day coaches ahead of it, into kindling-
wood. The strength OF the Westing-
house car saved it and its occupants.
The accident is due to wrong signal
or misunderstanding of the orders.
Plenty of assistance at once came to
receive the injured and remove the dead
from the wreck. The former were taken
to the hospital, where physicians and
surgeons labored during the night to al
leviate their sufferings.
Following is list of the dead:
R. s. Raymond, Columbus, Ohio,
horse dealer.
E. M. Whitelack, Cleveland, Ohio,
chief clerk Of a railroad company.
Daniel Mason, Hagerstown. Md, tele-
grapher Pennsylvania railroad.
Rev. De Costa Pomerno, Philadelphia.
Mrs. Uria Heebner, Norristown, Pa,
and son Winfield, aged years.
Charles Lee, Alleghaney City, tele-
grapher.
Richard Adams, Harrisburgh, furni-
ture dealer.
Two unidentified, one supposed to be
Telegrapher Clark, of Altoona; the
other, a young woman, supposed to have
boarded the train at Lancaster.
The eighteen injured are in the hos
pital, all Of whom, except two or three,
will recover.
Later.-The body of the unknown girl
has been identified as Miss Lizzia Blair,
of Philadelphia. She was accompany
ing Mrs. Mary ]. Granger to Seattle,
Washington. Mrs. Granger is in the
hospital here. She was on her way from
Philadelphia to Seattle with her daugh-
ter, Mamie, aged s, and Lizzie Blair, to
join her husband, employed on the
steamship Seattle, plying on Puget
Sound. Her injuries are about the
head, chest and abdomen. Several ribe
are also probably fractured. but she will
recover. Mamie Changers injuries may
prove serious, but the physicians ex-
press hopes of saving her life.
The operator at Steelton tower is said
to be responsible for the collision. it be-
ing alleged that he permitted the Sec
ond section to enter the block before
the first had cleared it. Another story,
however, is that the rules of the COM
pany require the engineers to have con-
troll of their trains on approaching
terminal point, and that the second Sec
ton was not under such control when
the accident occurred.
Prof. G. L. Smith of Baltimore died
this afternoon, making the eleventh
death. Mrs. Granger of Philadelphia is
also in dangerous condition.

"Papa" schurtx and q shylock.

Sbylock was Shylock, that history

true, or Shakespeare could not have
portrayed SO we'll the honest creditor
who wanted his pound of flesh. We
must believe that all Shylocks are not

there is one in Los Angeles who, too,

After "Papa" Schurtz had paid the
electric and gas company thousands

Dental Shylock OF that concern cut of
the light Immediately. He said: '.You

such an unjust request to ask this of
Shylock? is what .'Papa" Schurtz

Sioux FALLS, S. D., June 25.-A start

The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1892-03-18

Immense coal and iron deposits
have also been discovered IN the
upper Kootenai, which have until
lately been considered worthless on
account Of their long distance from
the railroad. There has also been
large deposit of excellent coal
discovered on the Eahk river, about
thirty miles east Of Bonner's Ferry.
Samples Of this coal have been ex-
amined and tested by Professor
Hoffman, Of the geological depart
ment at Ottawa, and he reports it
to be an excellent quality.
With all these vast, inexhausti-
BILE stores of gold, silver, copper,
lead, coal and iron, which will
cause great smelters to be built,
with its rich expanse of grazing
and agricultural lands, and beauti-
full and gigantic forests, it is nc
wonder that the Kootenai country
is commanding the attention of the
agricultural and mining world.

George Oberne, the well known

one Of the leading industries, and
for years it will add its wealth to
the channels of trade.
Mineral exists throughout the
entire Kootenai country. In al
most every portion of it rich pros
poets have been discovered. There
is not only an incalculable number
of valuable mines partly devel-
oped, but many are large deposi-
tories of high grade silver and cop
per. Experienced mining men
have given such favorable reports
of these claims that the Kootenai
district is now attracting the at
tention' Of prospectors and mine
OPERATORS throughout the United
States and Canada. 1t has been
only for the past two years that
prospectors have displayed any
activity, but the wonderful strikes
made last summer caused many
claims to change hands and be de-
yeloped, and all thus far with sat
isfactory results. The mines are
all below timber line. Water and
timber are abundant. Nature has
endowed all these mineral lands
with an inexhaustible supply of
material, which is so essential to
its development The mineral re-
sources cannot be overestimated,
for in a few years, when success
fully developed, all other resources
no matter how promising or ex-
tensive, will sink into insignif-
canoe.

PLACER DAYS IN THE KooTENA
The Pan and Shovel Now Give Place
to Machinery.

In 1864 an almost frantic rush
of miners occurred from Walla
Walla into the wilds of the Koo-
tenai country.
The working of the three streams,
Wild Horse, Perry and Finlay
creeks, for placer and alluvial
gold, from which, it is estimated,
$5,000,000 was taken, ended the
days Of placer mining in the Koo-
tenai fields. There has been no
Teverish excitement in these dig
gings since 1864, and until re-
Gently no attempt has been made
to properly develop or secure ma
chinery with which to operate
mines. The inaccessibilty of the
mines has prevented profitable
operation. OF late years the placer
diggings have become valueless
and have been discarded by the
miners, who have scattered through
the mountains and turned their at
tention to prospecting for quartz.
A little placer gold is found in
all the streams and gulches, but no
more paying diggings have been
nor are they likely to be discov-
cred.
The formation of the mineral
section of the country is series of
granite rocks. The veins are gen
orally well defined and only re-
quire systematic tracing up" to
find them, and in many instances
they can be readily traced for
miles.

How the Mckinley Tariff Bill
Affects Lead and Copper.
BULLION, GOLD OR SILVER FREE
The Conditions Under Which the Pro-
ducts of the British Columbia
Mines Enter at Present.

The greater number OF the claims
staked in the recently discovered
SLOGAN district are located upon
ore carrying more or less of one or
both of the metals, lead and cop
per. A few words on the question
outlined may therefore be of inter
est to the parties who propose to
give the new district attention dur
ing the coming summer.
The Canadian government inn
poses no export duties on ores, but
the Mckinley tariff bill fixes i'm
port duties upon certain ores, while
it places others upon the free list.
A reference to the tariff bill gives
US the following information:
"191. Copper imported in the
form of ores, J cent per pound on
each pound of the fine copper con
tanned therein"
$3.50. Copper regulars, and black
or coarse copper, and copper cement,
1 cent per pound on each pound Of
fine copper contained therein"
"194. In plates, bars, ingots,
Chill or other pigs, and in other
forms not manufactured; not spe-
cially provided for, 4 cents per
pound"
Under the heading Of ''iron and
STEEL" we find inter ALA:
"133. Iron ore, including manga
niprous iron ore, residuum from
burnt pyrites, IS cents per ton.
Sulphur ore, as pyrites containing
not more than 81 per cent copper,
70 cents per ton. But ORR contain
ing more than 2 per cent copper
shall pay in addition thereto J cent
per pound for the copper contained
therein. Sulphur ore, as pyrites
or sulphuret of iron in its natural
state containing in excess of % per
cent of sulphur, shall be free of
duty, except on the copper con
tanned therein. No deduction shall
be made from the weight of the ore
on account of moisture combined
therein"
"199. Lead ore and dross, II
cents per pound. Provided, that
silver ore and all ores containing
lead shall pay duty Of II cents
per pound on lead contained there
in, according to sample and assay
at the port of entry"
5000. In pigs and bars, molten
and old refuse, run into blocks and
bars, and old scrap lead fit only to
be re-manufactured, ? cents per
pound"
1867. Ores Of gold, silver and
nickel, and nickel matte, free list;
provided that ores of nickel and
and nickel matte, containing more
than 2 per cent copper, shall pay a
duty Of J cent per pound on the
copper contained therein"
"522. Bullion, gold or silver.
Free list"
Section IA, while not properly
included in the question under dis
cussion, is of Importance. 1t reads;
"That machinery for repair may be

chinery shall have been repaired
all such bonds being limited to moi

The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1892-03-18

Discoveries of large mines of iron
ore have been made on the Mesabi
range northeast of Duluth, Mimi,
on the shore of Lake Superior.
Great excitement prevails. Teams
for carrying supplies are scarce,
and command $50 to $40 a day.
