FORTY MEN PERISH.
FIRE IN A MICHIGAN MINE CAUSES
GREAT Loss OF LIFE,
Two Men Are at Work
Vie the Fire Breaks out, but All
Except Forty of Them Succeed In
Making Their Escape.

Calumet, Mich, Sept. 10. - A fire
broke out In the shaft Of the Osceola
mine, and 1t Is certain forty men and
boys have been suffocated or burned
to death.
The names Of some Of the men
known to be in the mine is as follows:
Trembath. mine boss; Richard Bicket,
Michael Johnson, Richard Grenfell,
Michael Schultz, John Matzen. VIII
lam Bryant, Francis Lander, Alex
Danfell, John Cudlip, Thomas Curtis,
Robert Johns, Peter Martin, Joseph
Saghte. James Harrington, William
Donald, Barney Elgoro, Antoine Scez-
weak. all miners, and Peter Stangard
and Walter Dohle, drill borers.
The fire started in shaft No. 3, which
Is used to carry the miners to the sur
face from the mine, and when the fire
broke out all the men and boys en-
ployed in the mine, about 200 in num-
Der, made a rush for the shaft In the
hope OF being taken to the surface.
The fire was too rapid for them, how
ever, and the chance or escaping by
that shaft was entirely cut off by
flame N smoke. The majority of the
imprisoned miners made a break for
a cross-cut, and In this way managed
to reach another shaft, from which
they were taken to the top. Forty
were missing when the roll was called.
Within a short time after they had
reached the surface smoke began
pouring from all the shafts and the
escape OF the men below vas entirely
cut of. The men I'm charge say now
that there Is not the slightest chance
for any of the men now in the mines
TO escape. II they had not burned
they must have been chOked by the
dense smoke within a short time after
the fire started.
Fortunately the mine is not as heavi-
iy timbered as some of the mines in
this locality, and it will not take it a
great while to burn out. AS it now
stands, there is not the slightest thing
that can be done for the men and no
effort is being made to %eXtinguish the
hames. 1t is not known how the fire
originated.
At the time the alarm was sounded
over 200 We're underground, and all
could have escaped had they used
proper precaution. Several miners in
their flight passed a group of seven
or eight men who had stopped to rest
II We're smoking their pipes. They
seemed TO be in no hurry or think OF
danger. When told to hurry to the
surface they remarked that they had
plenty OF time, and not one of them
reached surface. The skips were kept
running up and down all day in order
TO give any of the entombed miners
a chance to escape If they could reach
the skip alive, but non came up. An
other attempt will b. made to reach
the bottom. There is no danger of
the bodies being burned, as it is gen.
orally thought that the men escaped
from the burning shaft to some Of
the drifts leading to other shafts and
were overcome by gas and smoke be-
fore they could reach a place of safety.

Helena Apparently Gets the Worst

From Their Houses and Stay I'm the

Helena, Mont, Sept 4. S-!There was q
noticeable shock of earthquake soon
after midnight last night. People
asleep in hotels and dwellings were
suddenly awakened and rushed panic
stricken to the street. The larger
buildings shook perceptibly. Much e
citement was caused and in many
cases the residents did not dare to go
back to their dwellings all night, but
remained In the streets. No great
damage was done, however.
The oldest of the old timers cannot
recall a more were shock. Not only
was the traditional crockery shaken
from shelves and c%upboards, bric-a-
brac hurled from mantels, and win
dows ratified in their easements, but
people rushed from their homes in
alarm lest the walls should totter and
fall upon them. The shock seemed to
come from the south and the vibra-
lions lasted full a minute with three
aggravated periods wherein the oscil-
lations were most violent. The move
ment was from south to north. Peo-
pie were awakened from sound sleep
and those living in brick houses felt ii,
apparently, in greater number than
the inhabitants of frames. This Is the
second earthquake felt In Montana
this year.
Butte, Mont, Sept. Sat 1925 n
slight shock of earthquake was felt

1t was not severe enough TO do any

ing each other closely with but thirty
seconds of interval. The usual phe-
nomena were exhibited, being most
marked in the upper stories of high
buildings. Windows ratified. floors
cracked, dishes were knocked off

ANCIENT ESTATES.
JUDGE MNALLY SAYS ACCOUNTS
MUST BE FILED.
Over Two Hundred Which Are Par
TALLY Neglected and Forgotten
Brigham Young Estate Mentioned
Records VIII Be Cleaned Up.

Beginning today the probate judge will
which have been pending in the probate
court for years, settled and accounted
for. There are at least 200 estates
among them that of the late President
Young, which have been dragging along
for years without an accounting. 1t is
the intention of the present judge of pro-
bate to have all these matters closed up
as far as possible, and at least to have
the executors and administrators file an
account.
II fail to see why this has not been
done" said Judge AIcNally yesterday, at
is an act of justice to the heirs who are
interested and must be attended to. The
estate of Brigham Young, as I under
stand it. has not had an account filed
since 1887 and surely a matter of this
kind should not be allowed to go on and
on and on without a. reckoning of some
kind. This estate is not the only one
either. There are many more which ought
to be looked into. The books of the clerk
are full of unsettled matters of this
kind. None of them are ever heard of
save when some creditor comes in with a
petition and wants a matter reopened in
order that he may get his money. The
clerk and myself have determined that
when we close the books of this office
that the court which shall succeed us
will have none of these kind of cases on
hand. We are fixing up the matter now
and will send out these notices as fast
as they can be mailed. There will be a
whole lot of looking up of ancient ac-
counts and there is no telling what the
results may be-

All the men who can be employed on
the excava ton of the gravity sewer are
working in the trenches until such time
as the city engineer will satisfy himself
as to the propriety of allowing the &C.
ment which has been condemned to be
put in the work, if at all.
A meeting of the board of public works
was held yesterday afternoon, at which
it was decided that the board would
stand by the engineer IN the matter of
making tests. 1t appears to the board
that there is a probability that the ce-
ment contains qualities which are not
desirable. The contract, in the opinion
of the board is to the effect that the
cement used must be as good as Whites
cement. Whites, so the engineer con-
tends, will not crack under the pat test.
The engineer said yesterday that he
was making several tests and that he
believed that he could state in a few
days whether he could allow the mate
rial to be used. The question hangs on
this point. If there is not enough free
lime or magnesia in the cement TO dam
age il, it will be allowed to be used. If
there is sufficient proportion to endanger
the work he will not allow it. The diff
Guilty according to the engineer is that
it may require a long time to determine
whether the cement will crack the work.
The chemical action of water necessary
to harden the work requires long time
and until this is done, the lime does not
have chance to get in its deadly work.
But after the change has occurred, the
lime then expands, the walls disintegrate
and the result is a failure.
The board thought the position of the
engineer was the correct one and will
hold that the cement, no matter If 1t
does come up to the requirements as re-
CARDS tensile strength, should not be
used.
1t is stated by the board that the
contract provides that the cement shall
be as good as Whites. That is to say
it shall stand all the tests which Whites
will stand. Then in addition to this it
shall stand the tensile strength of $50
pounds. This is also the view taken by
the city attorney on the matter.
Several additional names were recon-
mended to the engineer as tit persons for
the positions of inspectors of the con-
crete work on the sewer. A few bills
were recommended to the council for
payment and the board adjourned subject
to the call of the chairman.

Advices received in this city yester-

TO the effect that the shaft being put

When the 200 foot station is reached

made it is the intention of Mr.. John
son to commence drifting over toward
the ore bodies which are known to
exist below the tunnel and to the east.
Other drifts will be sent out from the

that point.

VERY VALUABLE PROPERTY.
Developments Each Side of Mann
moth No. Reveal Its Wealth.

Il is understood that sometime in
the near future the owners of Nam
moth No > in the Tintic district, will
order the commencement of active de-
velopment work. This property is
said Il be one Of the most valuable in
the Mammoth section of the district
and undoubtedly contains some ex-
densive and very rich ore bodies. 1t
occupies the strategic point between
the Mammoth and the Ajax proper
ties and the discovery of high grade
sold ores on the 1900 foor level of the
Mammoth, together with the splendid
showing being made in the Ajax have
greatly enhanced the value of the
properly.
1T has been said that some people are
born under a lucky star and such
seems to be the case with Samuel Nc
Intyre. for not only is he a one-fourth
owner in the Mammoth and a heavy
stakeholder of the Ajax, but also the
owner of one-half of the Mammoth No.
.. This latter company holds some
60e feet along the zone upon which
are located the Mammoth and the
Ajax properties and every indicat ion
bears out the claim that the Nam
moth No. gets all of the ore bodies
within It's lines. The other owners
of the property are William McIn-
tyre and eastern parties.
