DEATH ROLL GROWS.
The List of Missing at Butte Largo On
The Work of Relief,

The List of Missing at Butte Largo One.
The Work of Relief.
BUTTE, Mon, Jan. 19.-Hour after
hour the disaster has been putting on
more distressing proportions. The list of
known dead has swelled to SO and at least
four in the hospitals cannot recov-
er. These are John Sloan, Charles Ash
ton, w. L. Miles and William Bow.
Others are also believed to be fatally in
jured.
To the list Of missing, the name Of
Charles Hoffbauer has been added. "A
few hours before the explosion he was
up town and purchased q pair Of shoes
and OH his way home he evidently
stopped at the fire. One shoe, badly
torn, of the new ones he had under his
arm, has been found Il quarter of u mile
from the scene of the catastrophe, but
not a fragment of Hof1bauer has been
found.
There is no doubt that many We're
blown to atoms who will never be heard
of. Among the debris was found a
number of letters addressed to William
Moffeet, 463 Fremont street, Boston.
The letters We're from Canada, and We're
signed Ambrose Allen. 1t is supposed
he is among the victims.
Every hour also brings additional re-
ports of the injured. Fully 100 have
been heard from, many Of them being
in serious condition. The flashes and
conclusion of the explosion was severely
felt at Belgrade, OH this side of the
mountain range, and ,S5 miles from
Butte. It is estimated by mining men,
familiar with explosives, that there was
at least 20 tons Of powder i'll the house.
The law limits the storage Of powder
within mile of the city limits at 15C
pounds. The penalty for its violation,
however, is only nominal fine.
