HaIf . Hundred vietlnls.

There were between 80 and 90 men I'm
the mine when the explosion occurred
and it is almost certain that all have per-
ished.
The cause Of the explosion is not yet
known. The coalfelds in which the Vul-
can mine is located have been troubled
with suhtcrranean gases for many years.
In many places, over distance of so TO
100 miles smoke has issued from croyiocs
in the rocks since the country was first
known to white men, and in lator years
more than one valuable coal mine has
been destroyed by fire breaking into the
workings. A little over year ago the
mines of the Vulcan company had to be
flooded on this account. and the old work
ings have never been reopened, and the
drift where the accident occurred was a
new one. 1t is thought that the disaster
may have been caused by the breaking in
to an immense pocket Of gas generated by
these everlasting fires.
On Feb. s State Coal Mine Inspector
Griffith inspected the mine and pronounced
it in splendid condition, and the work Is
said TO have been done at all times In the
most careful manner.

Rescuers at Work.

The construction Of temporary fan
house was commenced at once, and tho
work of pumping fresh air into the mine
will soon begin. 1t Is hardly possible
that any of the miners are still alive, but
the starting Of the fans will be made as
soon as possible, I'm the hope that II any
have survived they may be kept alive till
help reaches them. The only man who
got out Of tho mines at the time of the ex-
plosion was Edward Welch, who was near
the mouth of the tunnel, and blown out,
his skull fractured, arm broken, face bad
" cut and burned and all the hair burned
from his head. He was breathing when
found, but expired shortly after without
showing consciousness. Two young miners
Tom Connolly and James Petrie-met
with narrow escapes. Their eyes becOm-
ing sore, they quit work in the mines and
had just emerged from the tunnel when
the explosion occurred.
As soon as the news OF the explosion
reached Newcastle, superintendent Blount
closed the mines of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company and taking all his minors
left for the Vulcan mines, whoro all are
actively at work aiding IN the attempts
at rescue There are two shafts In addi-
tion 20 the one in which the explosion
took place. In the upper of these two
the rescuers are in about 800 feet, and IL is
through this that air can be forced into
some of the rooms, but none of those in
the mine have come out, and it Is feared
that this is conclusive evidence that all
are dead. In this main tunnel men are
at work building a division with boards
and canvas, through which air can be
forced in on the one side and the foul gas
driven out from the other. But this is
slow work, and there is little probability
Of getting into the mine in time TO rescue
any of the miners aliYe.

The Frightful Results Of a Gas
Explosion In a Mine.
A cAvEIN FOLLOWED THE CRASH.

Half Hundred Worlsmen Buried An
Lose Their Lives Rcscuers Unable to
Reach Them In Time to Save the En-
tombed Miners.
NEWCASTLE, Colo, Feb 19.-An explo-
sion which occurred at tho Vulcan mine
was The most disastrous ever known In
the history of this camp, and dozens Of
homes in the little city are desolato.
All business Is practically suspended,
and evory one Is dazed al the awfulness OF
the sudden disaster. No warming was
given tho peaceful villagers until a sud
den report rs from 100 cannon resoundod
throughout the valley.
A throng of people was soon at the scene
OF the disaster, distance Of nearly two
miles from Newcastle. A glance was
enough TO dissipate any hope for the lives
Of the entombcd men. The force OF the
explosion had caused a caYein, and the
tunnel and air courses were filled with
the fallen rock, earth and timbers.
Both fanhouses were wrecked, and the
slope and vicinity were SO full of debris
and the gas was so bad that II was hard
and dangerous work TO begin the rescue.
Nevertheless, willing hands We're soon nt
work. and five men went down as far as
possible to ascertain the condition Of the
slope and found It such that It will re-
quire much work to regain the lahorers.
The gas was so bad that after the party
had gotten 200 feet they were compelled
60 recede. The party consisted of Super
intendent lIerrlck of the Vulcan and John
Evans, William Reese Sam Hills and
Robert Templeman from the Consolidated
mine.
The last named mine shut down imme-
diately on hearing Of the disaster and sent
their entire force OF $50 men TO help the
unfortunate ones.

Turning Under Dead Grass.

QUEsT1oN.-Where planted corn this
year, have heavy coat of dead grass.
Would you advise burning this off, or
turRing it under? Wont the burning of
the grass kill most of the seed, and ben
eft me in that way?
ANswER.-By all means turn under
the dead grass instead of burning it off.
1T is to a small extent fertilizer, and
ii it does no ether good, it at least adds
mechanically in loosening up and max
ing the soil more porous, so that air and
moisture can more easily reach the roots
of plants. The burning of the grass
would undoubtedly kill some of the
grass seed, but thetheat is too short lived
to kill them all, and next spring when
cotton hoeing time comes, you would not
miss those ruined by the fire. Law it
down as general rule, never to burn
off your fields, but always turn under
all vegetable matter, even if it is dry
and dead, and the more you can turn
under the better for your land, espe-
cially if at is a stiff clay.-State Agri-
cultural Department.

Artichokes to Fatten Hogs.

QUESTION. Jerusalem artichokes
good to fatten hogs? If so how are they
planted?
ANSWER. "A few years ago the Jeru-
salem artichoke seemed to be making
Its way into favor with the farmers;
but OF late little is said about it. It is
highly recommended as a fattening
food, not only for hogs, but also for
horses, cattle or sheep. Itcosts but little
to raise them; they will grow on almost
any soil if not wet. They are said to
yield two or three times as much as po-
tatoes, and they are easily stored ant
Kept. With these advantages I think
they should be planted more largely.
The great objection urged against them,
is the difficulty of getting rid of them,
once they are planted; but my opinion
Is that few hogs confined to the patch
OF artichokes would soon find every
tuber that had been overlooked in gath.
ering. They may be planted in drills.
three feet apart and two feet in the
drill. Plant whole small tubers, and
cut the large ones as you would Irish
potatoes. Cultivate as you would corn.
They do best on q rich, mellow, light
soil, and the land should be prepared
and MANFRED as you would for Irish
potatoes. This plant is native of Mex
leo, but has been cultivated in Europe
for more than two centuries. It grows
from five to eight feet high and is a
hardy perennial. hope you will plant
at least patch, and report result to the
department. =: State Agricultural DE-
partment.

would have been largely used, but II
was perfected too late to be used ON this

Ing to try the wire. 1t will, however,

Fertiliziue Reach Orchards.

QUEsTNN.-Should peach orchards be
fertilized, and ifso, what would be a
good formula?
ANswER. hes not been very usual
for our peach growers to fcrtilize their
orchards with special reference to the
trees and their fruit AS rule the fer.
tilizing has been done to promote the
growth Of some crop requiring shallow
cultivation, such as cotton or ground
peas, and the fer@lizer applied to these
crops, between the rows Of peach trees,
has usually been considered enough for
the trees, with perhaps the addition of
alittle ground bone applied Immediately
around the tree. This plaza is not con-
ducive to either healthy trees or fine
fruit. Fertilizing the peach orchard is
as essential to success, as fertilizing the
garden or the cotton field. As you
would not expect to make fine cabbages
or onions on poor land, neither need you
expect fine peaches from en- impover.
ished and worn out soil. Fertilizing
the peach trees, not only improves the
fruit both in size and flavor, but it gives
vigor and health to the trees, and thus
to some extent enables them to resist
the attacks Of insect enemies, always
ready to pounce upon and destroy any
tree that shows signs of loss of vitality
or strength. Nitrogen, potash and
phosphoric acid are as essential to the
perfect growth of peach trees, as they
are to any Of the cereal crops. The use
of large quantities of nitrogen should
be avoided, as an excessive growth Of
leaves and wood, would be the result,
with deteriorated fruit. Generally
speaking, sufficient nitrogen can be sup
piled, by planting peas in the orchard
annually. and giving them clean cult
walton. If, however, the trees show want
of vigorous growth, apply from rs to
100 pounds Of nitrate of soda, or it's
equivalent in cottonseed meal, or dried
blood, per acre. Potash may with great
benefit be used literally on land devoted
to peaches, especially after the trees
have commenced to bear This can be
supplied, by muriate. or sulphate of pot
ash, by kainit or by ashes. While phos-
phoric acid is perhaps of less importance
on most lands, than potash, it should by
no means be omitted, if you wish DIM
prove both the health and the fruitful
ness of your peach trees. Late expert
ments seem to prove that proper manur-
ing, not only adds greatly to the crop.
