CRYSTAL FALLS, Mich, Sept 80-With
a terrific rush the water of the Miohi-
CANINE river broke through bed weak
ened by mining into the Mansfield mine,
drowning twenty eight men who were at
work directly under the cave In. There
were forty-six men in the mine when the
accident occurred, but eighteen of them
who were working in the lower levels
managed to escape. None of the bodies

the river before they can be secured.

The Columbian Daily Spy of Colum
oia, Pa, has this to say of a irmel
Carbon countian: The inventive geni
us of Mr. B. Frank Conner. President
OF the Supplee Steam Engine Company
has produced a Columbia boiler for
steam or hot water, which is far ahead
of all competitors. 1t is made in
wholly of cast iron, It is made in sec.
tions which enables its heating capacity
to be multiplied indefinitely.
The tire-box is round, with a water
space of two and one half inches. II
has ovel shaped holes which correspond
with similar openings in the first and
succeeding pans above it. The first pan
completely covers the fire surface, ex.
cept the passage at the rear. The sec.
ond and other pans are duplicates of
the first with the draft or heat passage
over and under each pan alternately
reversed thus securin- a msv'ypum
at heat minimum consumption OF tue,.
The top or drum is of cast iron. It covers
the last pan and distributes the heat
around all the pans. An outer air
tight casing of cast iron confines the
heat. So complete is the arrangmept
that at test in our presence this
morning thirty pounds of steam were
generated in twenty minutes. The uti-
lization of heat is complete.
The boiler hasa rocking CRATE com
plete in motion simple in construction
and easy to work. It can be dumped
by simply drawing the lever to the
front. 1t is one of the best and most
economical steam generators the mar
ket. Being made entirely of cast iron,
it is almost indestructable. 1t will
certainly have a large sale for steam
and hot water heating purposes.
