BRAMEL MINING DISTRICT.


In townships 10 north. range II west,

known as the Bramel Mining District
and Mineral Hill camp. embracing some
10000 acres Of rich placer ground on
Fox creek, Bear guldh. Beaver creek,
Shell creek and others that carry from
so cents to 81 per cubic yard Of gravel.
The average depth to bedrock is about
six feet. There is plenty Of fall and an
abundance of timber and water for all
purposes. The district also contains
leads Of copper. bismuth, gold, silver.
quick silver and many other minerals.
The formation is a lime and granite
contact.
No place in the northwest offers bet
ter inducements for the prospector
than this camp which is reached by the
North park stage a distance Of 81 miles
from Laramie. an important point on
the line Of the Union Pacific railway.
A large number Of prospectors are on
the ground and meeting with good sue

well as p%rospectors and many Of that
class are looking that way. The I'm

The cost of stopping a train of ears
has always been 4 subject of discussion,
and it is sometimes worth the inquiry
of railroad men. Estimates of the cost
have ranged from on~e-quarter of a cent
up to 81 for stopping an ordinary pas
senser train. The small figure repre-
sented only the estimated loss of metal
by applying the brake to the wheel
Some CT the real considerations that go
to make up the cost of a stop are the
coal burned while the train is standing
still, and in order to resume the former
speed-this the Pennsylvania railroad
people put at IL to Is cents. Then there
are the wages of all persons on the
train, who, while the train slows down
and stops, are paid as if the train were
running. This is insignificant in the
case of one person. but it amounts to
something when the whole force is con
sidered: besides this, there is the wear
CT the rails. A rail lasts only a third
as long where trains come to a stop on
1t as when merely run over. This is
the result OF the action Of the brakes.
Then, too. more accidents occur to en-
gines, to wheels and to axles in COM
ing to a stop or in starting again than
with running right along.

Awful Death Of Three Miners in the st.

Awful Death Of Three Miners in the st.
Lawrence Mine.
Butte. Mont, Aug. 19.-Three and
possibly more men were killed late this
evening in the st. Lawrence mine OF
the Anaconda properties. by a falling
cage. but 1t is unlikely that the extent
Of the accident and loss OF life will be
known before morning, owing to OBJ
structions in the shaft.
Foreman Ryan came up alone on the
cage, and wa just about to leave it
upon reaching the surface, when the
brake on the big cable wheel broke and
the cage dropped with lightning veloc-
ity to the bottom of the shaft, a dis
lance OF 1900 feet. carrying Ryan with
1t. John Manning and John Campbell.
two men at work in the shaft below the
1900 foot level, were carried with the
failing cage and crushed to pieces. As
the shaft from there down is all torn up
and filled with debris. 1t Is not known
whether others were killed or not, but
it Ia thought the other men who had
been at work in the shaft had left their
shift and gone home at the time OF the
accident.
Immediately after the cage dropped
the hosting engine also flew to pieces,
Being relieved Of the weight Of the
cage. its momentum became so great
that 1t got beyond the control Of the
on the surface. and m~iraculously all es-
capped injury, although the building
over their heads was literally torn tc
pieces by the flying machinery.
