Denver Nov. IA special to the
Rocky Mountain News from Aspen,
Colo, says:
The timbers in the lower workings
of the Smuggler mine are on fire, and
Notwithstanding strenuous efforts have
been made all day to check the fire, it
seems to be gaining Roadway. The
damage cannot be estimated at this
time, owing to the far-reaching nature
of the disaster.
FIRE DISCOVERED.
The workmen in the Smuggler and
Mollie Gibson began to inhale an OBJ
noxious gas about 1 O'Clock this morn
ing, and Immediately began a, search
for it's source. Three hours later it
was discovered that the large crib run
ming between the eighth and fifth levels
of that mine was on fire, and within a
short time the workings of the Mollie
Gibson and the Smuggler above the
S00-foot point were so impregnated with
the fumes that the miners were driven
out
The Mollie Gibson people then at
tempted to get in bulkheads in their
connection between the two properties.
The air was so foul that % Gnen were
overcome and for time it was thought
that wholesale fatalities had resulted.
TWELVE PULLED OUT
At the time, u unconscious men were
pulled out of the mine and stretched
upon the shaft-house floor. 1t required
the utmost efforts of physicians and
others for over half an hour to bring
these men around. Ed Hodgson, a
Mollie employee. became so dazed that
he walked into a chute, sustaining
serious though not fatal injuries.
ABANDONED THE MOLLIE.
The gas became so bad about s
o'clock that the Mollie was abandoned.
In fact, almost all the men were I'M
conscious or partially SO. The pump
men abandoned their pumps and left
the mine to drown. Learning of this,
Master Mechanic Alex Carsens of the
Smuggler crept through the connec-
ton and started them up again. This
gave the Mollie people new life, and
they again tackled the bulllheads and
succeeded in getting them in. Some
% men were overcome at the Smuggler
in an attempt to bulkhead in the fire
SERIOUS SITUATION.
Speaking of the situation, Manager
Hallett of the Smuggler stated that ii
was most serious. In fact" said he

POSTAL SAVING.

MANY millions of dollars are I'M
doubtedly secreted by people who have
little or no confidence in ordinary Sc
curities and monetary institutions or
ganized by private citizens. 1t is dead
capital; but if its owners could be in
spired with absolute confidence in the
security of an investment, it is alto
gether probable that the bulk of this
fund would find it's way into the chan
nels of trade and commerce.
IF the government undertook this
task. the service would undoubtedly be
gladly accepted by the people. Their
faith in the government is unbounded
Their little savings, which separately
could hardly be put out at interest
would amount. in the aggregate to a
sum that could be invested to their
advantage.
CULTIVATES THRIFT.
cit would tend to cultivate thrift in
large class realizing the advantage of
deposing with the government instead
of Wastefully and Uselessly eXpending
it. it would tend to better relationship;
bringing into closer relationship the
government and its citizens, and de-
veloping practical and enduring patriot
ism. This growth of patriotic senti-
ment and good citizenship constitute
a powerful appeal to craftsmanship to
make way for these benef1cient con-
sequences.
The proposition is an accomplished
fact in nearly every country in Europe,
! in British dependencies OF both hemis
! pheres, and even in Hawaii. In Great
Britain 100000 depositors have up
wards of $3.50, 0O0 in savings ac-
cumulated during 50 years, and in ten
years fewer than 10000 Hawaiian de-
positors save nearly $1,000, 900. De-
posts in Canada in 20 years exceeded
| $22. 000, COO These vast accommodations
have been made with the least possible
| loss to the governments which guaran-
! tee their repayment, and with a
/ minimum of cost to the millions of de-
positors.
POPULAR WITH CHILDREN.
"More than a thousand postal savings
accounts in European offices are held
| by minors and over tWo-thirds by the
| most humble callings. 1t is essentially
| the bank of this class. Postal savings
would not conflict with those savings
| banks, but would encourage savings
rather than accommodations. The con-
/ version of money order offices into saw
! ings repositories would soon afford in
| definitely more facility for receiving
! interest bearing deposits than the in
terest paying banks do now.
AGGRESSIVE OPPONENTS.
"The most aggressive opponents are
among the private institutions engaged
! in somewhat similar enterprises,
though associations of the larger cities
| recognize in it a valuable feeder to the
financial currents of the country.

X-Raye in shenandoah.

The opportunity is offered Shenandoah
people of seeing what wonderful discovery
the X-rays are. Sfealng to HERALD
representative, Prof, Khea, who is in charge
of the exhibition at Is South Main street.
said, Most people ask why the Rays are
called X-Tays," 1t is because the x in
algebra represents an unknown quantity and
because we do not know anything about the
rays The passage of high voltage through
partial vacuum, and through a crooks tube
causes certain rays to be thrown off and then
rays have the power of penetrating Opaque
objects. Front of this tube we have per
fectly Opaque screen made of card board
on one side glass, in the center calcium tung-
state. The rays striking this Opaque surface
makes it transparent and enables ono to see
the bones in their hands and the coins in
their purses 1t will also enable person
totally blind, caused by cataract, to see for
the time being as clearly as person with the
most perfect sight.

Dan Stuart Agrees to Bring Of the Contest
on March II or Forfeit $40 600 to the
Principals -stuarts Fair Offer
Regarding Photographing
Privileges

NEW York, Jan 5-The only hitch
which now seems possible to prevent the
meeting of Corbett and Fitzsimmons will
be the failure Of Dan Stuart, of Texas, to
secure place where the two heavyweights
will settle the long looked for contest. On
Dec. II James j. COrbett affixed his sigma,
ture to the articles Of agreement drawn up
by Dan A. Stuart, and the signing Of the
articles was witnessed by Par son" Da.
vies Of Chicago. Yesterday afternoon
Bob bftzsimmons, accompanied by his
manager, met Dan A. Stuart at Jersey
City hotel, and in the presence Of a num-
Der OF well known sporting men and rep
resentatives of the press FitzsimmOns af-
fixed his signature Immediately under
meath Corbett's on the articles.
Stuart assured those in the room that
he was confident that he could bring off
the fight on the date mentioned, March
II, without any interference and he fur
ther stated that the question of privileges,
especially the photographing of the con-
test by any person, would be considered
later on, when an offer had been made by
any company wishing to enter into an
agreement with him. In case an offer
was made he said ne was willing to meet
either Of the contestants or their repre-
sentatives, and make an arrangement as
to the division Of the money derived from
this source of revenue.
As to the side bet Fitzsimmora said that
he would put up from 5000 to $40, 600
There was very little quibbling, and it
looked as if all parties concerned are in
earnest about deciding who is to be the
recognized heavyweight champion of the
world.
The articles call for a purse of SIG, 900 to
be given to the winner, and each of the
principals to post g., 500 in the hands of a
stakeholder to guarantee an appearance in
the ring, the one failing to live up to this
agreement to forfeit to the other and Dan
A. Stuart. As a guarantee of good faith
Stuart agrees to post s. GOO with stake
holder to be divided equally between Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons If he (Stuart) fails
to carry out the provisions incorporated
in the agreement Stuart further agrees
to post the remainder of the purse (S1O, 000)
in the hands Of stakeholder thirty days
prior to the date of tho contest and that
the said S1O 900 be forfeited by him to Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons If Stuart fails to
bring off the contest on March II.
Five ounce gloves are to be used, George
Siler, of Chicago, is agreed upon as ref
cree, and Fitzsimmons decided that Al
Smith, Of New York city, was satisfac-
tory stakeholder as far as he was con-
eerned.
Stuart refused to say where he expected
to bring the mill off, but tho articles called
for him to notify the pugilists of the place
one month prior to the date of the pro-
posed contest
