HOPE Disaster.
Results of the Investigation of the
COroner's Jury.
Especial 10 The Herald.

0OrOneFS Jury.
Especial TO The Herald.
BUTTE, Mont, April 1S.-The coro-
ner's investigation into the Hope min
ing disaster at Basin has developed a
most deplorable state of affairs and a
reckless disregard for the lives of the
men employed in the mine.
The evidence showed that the Hope
was veritable death-trap, and that
there was no outlet except by way Of
the main shaft, in which the fire oc-
CURED, and that the men. once in the
mine, had no way of leaving it except
with assistance from the outside.
Engineer John Weber, who was on
duty at the time of the fire, testified
that the men in the mine signalled
to him twice t. be hoisted, and he
paid no attention to their signals, and
when he finally discovered the fire it
was too late to operate the cage, and
the seven men in the mine were left
to suffocate.
The evidence also showed that SUI
perintendent Fletcher, who was in
charge Oh the mine, Is not an eAper-
fenced miner, but he said he thought
the men under him were experienced
men.
Foreman Buckley testified that the
methods of mining in the Hope were
twenty years behind the times.
State Mining Inspector Shoemaker,
who has made an examination of the
mine, says it VIII be months before
the bodies can be recovered.
superintendent Fletcher says it will
be six months, as no efforts will be
made to reach them until a meeting
of the stockholders has been held, as
it will be necessary to sink a new
shaft before tie bodies can be reached.
The bodies of the six victims of the
St. Lawrence mining explosion in
Butte have all been recovered, the last
being taken out today The coroner's
investigation was begun tonight.

SCHOOL LANDS.
A Correspondent at Kamas' Views of
the Situation.

the SITUATION.
KAMAS, April 13.-I see in The Her
aid of the 18th, under the heading of
Affairs of the State" several appeals
in behalf of those who were so unfor-
tunate as to settle upon school lands
or that which has proven to be such.
A number of the good people of Kamas
are in the same situation. The little
town of Kamas, the greater portion of
it, happened to fall in a school section.
Application was made at the land office
according to law, but it turned out that
one of the applicants citizenship pa
pers were of the old probate kind and
of no value. The consequence was the
party could not prove up on the land.
The 90days' limit having expired. it
therefore became impossible for others
to enter, consequently, there is 100
acres of the town that Still remains
school lard. Now there are several
manifestations and Door people
whose all is upon the small piece of
land upon which they reside and have
resided for periods of two, three
and I'D to ten years prior to the gov
eminent survey and should their small
holdings be put I'D and sold to the
highest bidder it would utterly ruin
them We are eandidly of the opin-
ion shat in such cases, the settler
should be allowed to retain his claim
by paying the original government
price of s1.25 per acre, and we fairly
believe that should the commissioners
so rule that they will have the hearty
approval of nine-tenths if not the en-
tire community for their just and fair
action in the matter.
If the Republican convention had the
remotest idea that Arthur Brown was
solid silver man or that he would
advocate it and bulldog like hang like
death to a dead niger, at the st. Louis
convention or that he would bolt in
case he failed, they made one of the
grandeSt mistakes of their lives. Many
Republicans here have made the asser-
ticn: Give him another chance and he
will vindica,te himself to the satisfac-
ton of allv He will have that chance
at st. Louis. Now let's see how he will
vindicate himself We felt somewhat
encourages at the stand taken by
FRANKIE on the silver question, but still
we cannot help thinking that he will
yet flop over with Arthur He may
hold out a little more strongly at the
convention; but should he fail to gain
his point he will never bolt but will
gently submit to the ajority and cast
his vote for gold candidate. AS far
as c. e. Allen is concerned, we think
he Will prove to be the strongest sill
yer man from Utah
The weather is quite cfBangeable and
cold. Farmers, however, are putting in
their crops and hoping the season will
prove fruitful STILL Considering the
scarcity of snow in the mountains,
crops must suffer considerably unless
we are blessed with plenty of rains and
at the right ime.

He was enc of those men who are not
really incredulous, but who seem so
through an unfortunate inability to ex-
press their emotions as they feel them.

hotel lobby discussing the demise of one
Bill Brown, and Immediately joined the
group, whereupon the following CONVEX

Yes, he's dead

it. Poor chap
Another pause.
Poor Bill! I knew him well. So he's
really dead, is hep"

The conversation ended very abruptly,
and the man who was not really incredu-
lous moved off, looking hurt.-Philadel-
