FIRE IN A SILVER MINE.

Which Caused Considerable Loss of Life
Fourteen Bodies So Far Recovered.
PRAGUE, June Am Incident has oc-
CURED at the famous Birlxenberg silver
mine, near Prizbram, in Bohemia. The
timbers used in supporting the roof of
the mine caught fire, and the flames
spread from one part of the workings
to another until the whole interior of
the mine was a mass of fire. The es-
cape of the men working In the mine
was cut off. and though IL Is not known
how many of them were killed, it Is ad-
mitted that the list of the dead will be
large. After long struggle the fire
was eXtingulshed and volunteers went
down into the mine to rescue anyone
who might have lived through the con-
fiagration-
The rescuing party found no trace Of
life, but they discovered twelve bodies,
which were sent to the surface.
a later dispatch from Prizbram states
that 500 men were working in the mine
at the time. All but forty of them sue
ceeded in making their escape. Four
teen bodies have been recovered. Many
others, who were seriously injured, were
brought to the surface. The work of
rescue was suspended during the night,
owing to the. suffocating gases with
which the mine was filed. 1t was re-

~ HELD UP. n
Robbery Of Santa Fe Express By

WICHITA, Kan. June 2.-Newsr reached
here late last night that the sOuthbound
Santa Fe express had been held up on
the Cherokee strip by six masked men
and the express car broken into and
$500 in money taken 81 ~ IS
The train which left this city at 5:45
p m, reached Red Rock, little station
in the territory eighty miles south of
Wichita at 9:45 o'clock.
Red Rock is mere siding but is used
by cattlemen as shipping point and
the railroad company has built large
stocl1yards there 1t is situated in the
midst of a wild, unsettled portion of the
strip and the robbers could not have
chosen better place for the deed COM
mitted last night. n st-t &.
The train halted at the station and,
after starting, was beginning to move
rapidly when the engineer noticed a
man standing on the track at the stock
yards gesticulating wildly and moving
a flag.
The engineer slowed up and as the
engine approached the spot five other
men, all wearing masks, jumped out
and boarded the engine.
The engineer and fireman were taken
prisoner and held by two of the men
while the other four proceeded to the
express car. They presented their re-
volvers in the face of the terrified mes
senger, and breaking open the safe,
secured its contents. l itt3 tt
The amount obtained is said TO have
been $4,000
The passengers were not molested,
but were commanded to remain in their
seats at the peril of their lives.
The money obtained is thought here
to have been intended for Indian pay

No one can read the newspapers Of
Colorado without feeling impressed with
the wonderful progress the Centennial
state is making. In all lines OF industry
there is the same splendid activity pre-
valent The mines are simply hummlng;
horticulture and agriculture are causing
irrigation enterprises to spring up every
where all manufacturers have hand in
the prosperity; live stock interests are in
excellent shape; realty investments are
on Grm basis; money for developing
the states resources WAS never so free,
and SO it goes, all along the line of pro
gfess.
New Mexico can take heart from this
state of affairs. We have been taught all
along to look toward the east for the com
ing of our dawn; for the influx Of imml-
grafton, capital and American energy J;
but have We not probably been mistaken
in this?
Take glance at southern and south
western Colorado to-day. Gradually the
industrial stir there is encroa"hing unon
New MeXico's northern border. There is
region whose diversified resources are
capable Of supporting the Inhabitants OF
an empire. The people have confidence
in Colorado, particularly southern Colo
RADIO, and they are not afraid to settle
shere. Even now there is boom on the
headwaters OF The Rio Grande that ha:
startled the nation. AS people settle
there they will become better acquainted
with New Mexico and its people; they
| will find out that We are not a bad SCI
down here; that We have resources un
developed the peer Of Colorado any day
and they will come and help US to make
of New Mexico the grand commonwealth
nature designed her for.
While still feeling kindly toward the
east, New Mexico can now lock conf
IDENTITY toward the north. Those thing
which will give her the greatest impetus
to modern growth are coming through
Cooralo-doYn through the Rio Grandt
valley.

TWO WILL BE ENOUGH.

The New MEXICAN is of the opinion,
should the Republicans of New Mexico
select six delegates to represent them in
the Republican national convention at
Minneapolis, that but two of the six
would be entitled to votes and seats in
the convention and that but two would be
admitted. At the same time the New
MEXICAN must say, that it does not sutii
GENTLY care about the matter to make any
bitter fight over it; there is not SO very
much at stake. The nominee OF the con-
vention, whoever he may be, will be
nominated with great unanimity; there
will be no fight over the Republican NOM
nations.
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1892-02-05

We observe that come of cur contem-
poraries still talk of electlng six delegates
to the Minneapolis convention, where We
are distinctly invited to send just tW o.
OF course this is obviously in the interest
of some ambitious politicians who think a
large delegation gives them their only
chance OF being named. But why limit
the number 10 six? Why not appoint
thirty or forty? That would accommo-
date all who want to go, and the result
would be just the same. In either case
we should be laughed at, and in either
case those who were selected would have
to designate the two to be admitted. If
there is to be chlld's play about it let us
send our whole territorial convention,
and let the members do their work there
Instead of here, and then every man in
the convention could boast of the fact
that he was delegate to Minneapolis.
But seriously, the project is pure nom
sense, the child OF inordinate ambition,
and fraught with nothing but danger
