The following will probably die: Joe
Hubbard, coIored; William Hanley, col.

Hayes, W. H. Hile, John Patterson, col.
ored; Doc. Huffaker, William Scarlett,
John Maxwell. Mine A is situated
about quarter of mile north of the
town. 1t was about two years old. Last
summer a slope was driven to the old
workings and it again commenced to
produce coal. Over 100 men, half of
them negroes, were employed. About
4:30 o'clock muffied roar startled the
people and column of smoke and debris
shot up high from the air shaft, and few
minutes after the explosion the men be.
gan to appear. Some we're not burned at
all, while others appeared with the skin
standing up in blisters on their faces
and hands, or hanging in ribbons. A
search for those unable to walk up the
slope was at once begun. Superintendent
Vail, of the Kansas & Texas Coal com
pany, directed the work. One by one
the more seriously injured we're brought
oat and taken to their homes. Superin-
tendent Vail says he believes keg of
powder was ex ploded in carelessness, but
the general opinion is that it was caused
by a windy shot firing the gas and pow.

dusty, and that the furnace is not suffl-
ciently strong to create sufficient draft
to carry the dust out OF the rooms and
entries,

SEVERAL FIREMEN INJURED
w 0rcester, Mass, Experiences One of
the Worst Fires In the History
Of the City.

Worcester, Mass, March 5.-One of the
worst fires ever known in this city, start
ed this morning in new building, at BOG
to 312 Main street. A number of fremen
were badly injured, and two are reported
buried in the ruins. Loss between $780,.
600 and $1.00O,O00. The block where the
fire started was four story brick. Be.
fore the fire department reached the
building the flames shot up the elevator
shaft, making way through the roof, and
famed by agreat draft, raised the flames
to height of rs feet above the building.
Shortly after 3:45, an explosion occurred
in the drug store of f. D. Buffington.
which was burning feroely. At O'Clock
the north wall of the Goulding building
fell into Sudbury street with terrific
crash. Several loud explosions followed.
The Day block and the Goulding block
are total losses. The following are in
jured, all being fremen: F. W. Hall,
shoulder hurt and injured internally; Ed
ward Brady, badly cut and injured in
ternalIy; George W. Clem, left leg broken,
badly cut and injured internally; j. H.
Waite, cut, severe confusion of the body;
F. K. Burkett, leg cut and injured inter
nally; Captain Maher, back injured;
Lieutenant Boules, injured shoulder and
back; Roseman Cavansugh, severely in
jured.
The report that two firemen are buried
under the ruins is probably untrue. All
the injured firemen are doing we'll. The
loss is estimated between $350,000 and
100000,

CAPTURED BATTLE FLAGS.
Their Prospective Return to the U. =.
Creates General Resentment
Among the Mexican People.

st. Louis, March 5.-A special to the
Globe Democra from Guadala jara, Mex,
says: An almost warlike spirit ls being
aroused among the people Of Mexico by
the coming of Messrs. Bruce, Stone, and
Pierce, of Boston, to enter into negotia-
tions with the Mexican government for q
return Of flags captured by the Mexican
troops during the war of 1847. The news
papers are denouncing America and
Americans In most incendiary language,
going so far as to demand of the United
States, at the cannon's mouth if neces-
ssry, return of all territory taken from
Mexico. They specify California, Colo
RADIO, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mex
100, and Texas as property stolen from
their country. So strong is the sentiment
against Americans, that ladies are openly
insulted on streets, and in stores, and If
the escort resents the offense he is drag
ged of to jail and fined.

IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
Joint Memorial No. ), Relating to
Minerals on Land Grants.

Representative f. A. Reynolds, who
lives in Sierra and has a knowledge of
the mining interests of his district that
embraces every detail of the industry,
has introduced joint memorial in the
house looking to the elimination of con-
ditions which ara retarding the develop
ment of the mineral wealth of the terri
tory. Mr.. Reynolds has, in his usual
manner, struck at the root of the trouble,
and the memorial is meritorious one.
1t reads:
Whereas, under the act of congress,
establishing the court of private land
claims, approved March 8, 1891, it was
and is among other things provided that
all gold, silver or quicksilver mines or
mineral of the same situated upon grants
confirmed by the court, shall be and re-
main the property of the United States
with the right of working the same; and
Whereas, under the provisions of the
same act it is provided that such mines
shall not be worked without the consent
of the owner of such grant until the same
shall be specifically authorized by an
act of congress to be hereafter passed.
and
Whereas, the influx of capital into New
Mexico is being retarded an the interests
of the territory generally are being pre-
iudiced by the fact that an act of con-
gress has not been passed allowing mines
and minerals to be worked on said grants
as impliedly promised in said act ap-
proved March 3, 1891.
Now Therefore, Be it resolved, by the
legislative assembly of the territory of
New Mexico: ..'...
First, That the congress of the United
States be and it is hereby respectfully
and earnestly memoriallzed and requested
to pass such legislation as will extend to
parties desirous of 80 doing the authority
and right to mine on land grants hereto
fore or hereafter to be confirmed by the
court Of private land claims.
Resolved, second, That the attention of
congress is respectfully called to the bill
introduced on this subject at the first
session of the Fifty fourth congress by
Bell, of Colorado, as en-
bodying just and equitable provisions
for the opening of confirmed land grants
to mineral exploration and purchase.
Resolved, third, That the chief clerks of
the council and the house Of representa-
tives be and they are hereby directed to
transmit copy of this memorial to each,
the president of the United States, and
the president of the senate and the
speaker of the house of representatives
at Washington.
