MONSTER MINE FIRE.

1t May Close Down All the Mines at
Aspen, Colo.
Aspen, Colo, Nov. 15.-A fire that
bids fair of closing down every big
mine In the camp is raging in the
eighth level of the Smuggler mine.
The cause of the catastrophe is sup
posed to be spontaneous combustion,
although there are few who are In
clined to the theory that careless
miner and a candle are responsible.
So far the fire is confined to large
crib, and is burning at point about
800 feet below the surface. This crib
is so feet wide 16i feet long and 3oo
feet high 1t contains many thousands
of cords of dry timber. So far as known
these timbers have not been broken
into but the supposition is that the
entire base of the crib is burning. Eff
forts to reach the fire have proved un-
successful, and an attempt to place
bulkheads in the connection came near
losing the lives of some 50 men. over
40 Of these were so overcome by the
deadly gas that for time their lives
were despaired of.

Trick Pony Crushed to Deatll and o

watchman Seriously Injured.
Philadelphia, Nov. ia huge Ana
conda, on exhibition in a museum here,
yesterday severely injured Samuel
Mosher, the museum watchman. and
crushed to death valuable trick pony.
The pony was tied to feed box along
side the anaconda's cage. Mosher saw
that the reptile had worked one Of the
boards of its cage loose and had
stretched its tail out a short distance.
He pushed the board to, believing the
anaconda would pull within the cage
again. Instead 1t wriggled out and
wrapt itself several times about Mosh-
er. The latter screamed for help. and
the pony, frightened by the big reptile,
began jumping about. This probably
saved Moshers life for the reptile un-
wound itself from him and completely
encircled the pony. MOsher fell to the
floor unconscious, while the big snake
continued to crush the pony until life
was extinct. When number of en-
ployes reached the scene the snake had
begun to unwind itself and appeared to
be getting ready for more fight. The
men kept aloof until lassoo had been
obtained and the anaconda finally made
secure. Several of Mosbers ribs were
broken and he was removed to hos
pital
