Further Particulars of the Explosion
Near GIenwood Springs.
Glenwood Springs, Colo, Sept. 2.
The bodies of IL miners who were
killed by coal-dust explosion in the
Sunshine mine of the Colorado Fuel &
Iron Company were brought to this city
today and prepared for burial. Coro-
ner Clark empaneled a jury, which
viewed the remains. The force of the
explosion had completely crushed each
bone in the IL bodies, so that the re-
mains were merely masses of flesh and
bones.
This mine is the oldest of the Spring
Gulch group. Two entries below the
one in which the accident occurred
have been worked out. Those two COW

$50 feet above the level where the ex-
plosion occurred. The explosion broke
away the stopage from the lower work

slopes were at once filled with the
deadly black damp. An idea of the
force of the explosion can be had when
it is seen that timbers, many 90 inches

RICHER THAN. KLoNDlKE.



Indian Reservation.
Kansas City. Sept. IA special to
the Journal from Sedalia, Mo-, says:
J. W. Corkins, Sedalia capitalist, and
Leo Cloud, an expert mining engineer
of Cincinnati, representatives of St.
Louis and Cincinnati syndicate, will
leave tomorrow for the west coast of
Mexico to practically verify the value
of gold placer and quartz mines which
have recently been secured by the syn
dicate Messrs. Corkins and Cloud
will go direct to Hermosillo, and from
there to the gold fields in the new Ell
dorado located in the Yaqui Indian
country, which has just been opened to
entry to white men. This part of Mex
leo has been explored but little by the
whites, but, if reports of the syndi-
Gates prospectors are true, the inland
mountain ranges along the west coast
of Mexico are richer even than those of
the Klondike. The placer mines are
said to be marvelously rich in scale
and nugget gold, while the quartz rock
in the upper ledges contain veins of
free-milling ore which assays from $50
to $500 per ton. The syndicate sue
ceeded in keeping the discovery a Sc
cret while securing its patents and con-
cessions, and, if the reports are SUBJ
stantially correct, the syndicate will be
able to turn the tide of fortune-hunters
from the gold fields of Alaska to the
Eldorado of Mexico.

much excitement and panic attended
with loss of life was narrowly averted.
The casualties were confined to slight
injuries to a few persons.
In the theater there is an electrical
apparatus known as the cinematograph
by which pictures are thrown ON a
white ground on the stage. 1t is oper-
ated from small closet built on the
front of the gallery. The sides of the
closet were of muslin. This material
caught fire and began dropping on the
heads of the audience below. A cry of
fire. was raised, and rush for the
exits was made. One man pushed his
arm through glass door and was badly
cut. An elderly lady was thrown down
and trodden on, but was revived and
taken away by her daughter. A man
jumped from second-story window
and his head was cut in several places.
The fire was extinguished before it
spread. Within few minutes the ex-
citement had subsidized and the per-
formance was continued to the end of
the programme with the exception of
the cinematograph pictures.

Mutilated Corpse in a Lonely Wood.

Washington, Sept. S.-The little vii
lage of Laurel, Md, 10 miles from
Washington, is much excited over a
murder mystery. A boy hunting in
the woods near the village this morn
ing found a nude human body. The
coroner of the county was notified and
went to the place. He found that the
body was that of woman in such an
advanced state of decomposition as to
make Identification very difficult if not
impossible. The head had been COM
pletely severed from the body, as had
also the left hand and the left foot.
The hand and foot were missing, but
the head lay short distance. from the
body.
It was impossible to estimate the age
of the woman correctly, but she seemed
to have been under so. The nails of
the right hand seemed to have been
well cared for and indicated that the
woman had not been accustomed to
hard work.
As far as learned no woman is miss
ing in that locality, and the officials
have no clue as to the murderer.

Wreck OF the schooner agnes ". Urace,
With Four Big Guns.
Savannah, Ga. Sept. 8.-The three
masted schooner Agnes o. Grace, of
Bangor, Me-, capsized and sunk this
morning 81 miles east of Tybee. Her
crew came ashore and landed at War
saw island.
The schooner sailed from New York
August 20, with a cargo of salt for Sa-
vannah and four 16 ton guns for the
Tybee Notifications. All down the
coast she was driven by fierce north
easter, and on Saturday night she came
off Tybee laboring heavily in the gale.
An effort was made to bring her to and
save her being driven further south, but
when she brought to, the wind began
to toss the vessel, and the big guns,
which formed part of her deck load,
drifted loose from their lashings and
took possession of the deck. The crew
was driven into the rigging, and the
iron monsters plunged about as the
vessel heaved in the sea, making every
effort to recapture them almost certain
death. About o'clock in the morning
an unusually heavy swell tossed all
four guns into the port scuppers, and
the vessel heeled under the immense
weight, tried to right, but staggered
as the green water broke fercely in
over the bulwarks. She capsized and
sank,

MIcHiPlcOTAN GOLD FIELDS.
First Reports Confirmed by the Sault
Ste. Marie Party.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Sept. r.
Mary Bell returned from Michipicotan
last evening, after having been in the
new gold fields but three days. They
say the newly discovered Eldoradoss is
as rich as reported. There were IA in
the party, and all are responsible busi-
ness men of this city. Each secured
claims upon gold quartz promising big
returns. In all, the party will make
application for 1000 acres, which were
prospected and staked out while they
were there. Many specimens of quartz,
in which free gold as large as pin
head can be seen, were brought back
with them. The specimens were Sc
cured from different places on their
claims, which are scattered about.
When the party arrived Tuesday
night there were but six prospectors on
the ground at Lake Wawa, and they'
secured good locations. They are jubil-
ant over their finds, and say that the
auriferous deposit evidently is an i'm
mense one. Veins of beautiful white
quartz, carrying free gold, exist in the
River and Lake Wawa region. The
original find is an extremely large one,
beyond doubt. The returning prospec-
tors say that where the veins are laid
bare, the gold particles can be seen
everywhere in the quartz.
When the party left Saturday, at
least 200 prospectors had arrived, and
they passed several parties going in.
The shores of Lake Wawa were dotted
with tents, and within the three days
they were there lively mining camp
had sprung up. The distance from the
mouth of Michipicotan river to Lake
Wawa is not to exceed seven miles,
and the party experienced no difficulty
in getting in and out. With their
camp equipage, the trip was made in
about three hours. The road is we'll
defined.
The reports the Mary Bell party
brought has set the two Soos wild with
excitement, and an exodus o Klondike,
jr., will begin tomorrow.
