RUNAWAY GABLE TRAIN.
Rushes Through Chlcago's Crowded

Streets-Passenger, Seriously Hurt.
A runaway cable train with passengers
aboard was whired unchecked ten squares
through the most crowded portion Of Chicago
on the 18th. Its wild career ended by .
plunge down grade Into the La Sale street
tunnel, where the train was dcrailcd and the
wrecked cars strung across the track near the
bottom OF the sharp incline,
There was an exciting scene along Dear
born and Randolph streets Us the runaway
rushed along. Men, women and children
made a frantic attempt to get on the train.
Many fell 10 the ground as they slighted
Crowds attracted by the screams OF the I'M
periled passengers, and the changing ~ the
car bells, chased after the train and cndeav-
ored to get the helpless one, OF the cars.
Police officers pulled several women through
the broken windows Of the ears and landed
them in safety upon the ground.
Among the passengers on the cars were
women with babes In their arm.. They
begged pitcously that their children be saved
from harm, but most Of the men thought only
OF themselves. In the confusion several peo-
pie were trampled by teams taking fright, but
escaped serious injury.
Down the tunnel the ears were In such In.
cxtrlcablc confusion and the grips and cable
In such chaotic shape with SO many cars from
the North Side blocking the northern end
that II took hours to clear the wreckage away.
The gas main running through the tunnel
was broken and there was chance for an cI.
plosIon. Tho electric light wires we're also
cut, leaving the tunnel In darkness.
-Four passengers were badly Injured, while
a number OF Others were fearfully shaken up
and bruised or scratched. The accident was
due TO u strand broken Ia the cable.

The Mining District OF GuanaJuato.
Mexico.


To many people Me4icau silver mine I,
close kin to Spanish castle, but the fact re-
mains that the most productive silver mines
Of the world are In Mexico; not the most
productive at present, but In the gross amount
Of the metal won In the past.
The mining district Of Guanaj uato has been
IN active producer Of silver aimee 1913, and the
known amount Of metal obtained with the
crude and wasteful methods In use npproxi-
mates $3.50, 000,0 600 Some Of the greatest
shafts ever put down are in the vicinity OF
Guanajuato, one Of them being forty
feet In diameter and over 400 feet deep.
The new shaft Of the Bolanitos mine Is twenty
feet In diameter and 600 feet deep. This
mine is said To have produced over $500, 100
In the six years preceding 1900.
The entire district Is permeated with veins
u quartz In mctamorphic clay slate, nearly
all the chief silver bearing minerals being
present. Only the tirst-cass ores are worked
commercially, those whose assay value falls
below $50 per ton not being available for the
Washoe or the patio process. The excessive
cost VI transportation and Of fuel initiates
against the working OF any ores OF this grade.
Packing on mules to the Haciendas costs
$3.50 per ton, and treatment Of the ores
tll.50; these twJ items added to the Sl2 for
mining, holsting pumping. sorting, etc,
leave n small margin On d $50 ole.
The unwaterlng OF the lower levels OF the
mines nas attracted considerable attention OF
recent years, and two companies are now en-
gagged In an undertaking Of this kind. The
lrst Of these on the ground was nm English
company, and work has been prosecuted on
the San Calletano tunnel for several years.
The second is the Victoria Tunncl Company,
m American concern, which proposes TO
drain the La Luz group OF mines by n tunnel
1900 feet In length. This group lies about
twelve miles west Of north Of Glanal uato, and
comprises fourteen mines, VIZ. San Bernabe,
La Luz, San Jose. Santa Clara, kefugio, San
Vicente. La Trinidad, Los Locos, Jesus
Maria, Villarlno, FL Santo Nino, La Purisirns.
San Pedro aud San Nicholas. Up 10 the end
of 1850 the group had been credited with n
production Of S3l2, 500, 900, since l5Is,
The main difficulty in the way Of the sue
ccssful treatment OF the ores seems to be the
excessive cost OF fuel. Wood costs tl0 and
