A ton OF coal can be carried mile
for cent, even by rail; and water car
riage is cheaper still. Yet the total
consumption OF coal for all purposes
is now SO vast that the tax for trans
portation is heavy burden. In Eng
land a strong organization has been
formed. called the General Power Dis
tribution company. which proposes to
take the coal at the mouth of the
mines. convert its energy into cleo
tricity. and supply power by conduc-
tiou TO n dense manufacturing dis
trIct. This plan not only saves the
shipment OF coal, but puts an end to
the smoke nuisance.

THREATENING FOREST FIRES.
Raging on MIL Creek Between Empire
md Yankee Hill.

Idaho Springs, Colo. Nov. 4.-Heavy
forest fires are raging tonight on the
divide between Empire and Yankee
Hill, on the slope of Mill creek.
The timber is quite heavy there and
much of it will be destroyed. The
wind has been blowing n gale all day
and IL the fires continue to spread
some mining property near Empire and
Yankee Hill may be burned.
The fire department was called out
tonight by false alarm caused by
faulty construction of the alarm sys-
TEN. As result the entire population
turned out to prevent the fire spread
ing, for it was realized that If under
any headway the entire town might be
swept under such n terrific gale. For
tunately there was no fire In town, but
the bright light from the forest fires,
which are ten miles away. Mt first
caused an impression of fire In the
west end of town.
The wind has also paralyzed the tele-
phone wires connecting with Denver.

ed by the blowing up with dynamite
of the adjoining buildings.
A high wind was blowing, causing
the flames to leap from one structure
to another rapidly.
The losses are unknown here, but
cannot be heavy, as the buildings were
small.

A ulspatch from Gloucester, Massa-
chusetts says: The last season has
been severe on the fishing fleet. The
reckoning for the year Is fourteen ycs-
sells total loss, eighty-two men drown
ed. twenty-three women widowed and
hfty-five children made orphans. The
losses will approximate $4,000. The
terrible gales which ragged on the banks
during October. 1897, are undoubtedly
responsible for the losses of three ves-
sells and their entire crews, while the
series of gales which prevailed during
the winter also brought the fate OF
many Gloucester fisherman.
A dispatch from Ride to the Denver
Times says that parties who came In

In the vicinity OF Rangley. and killing
deer in great numbers. The country
where they are camped Is near the To-
callty where the killing occurred last
year. The Indians are not troubling
the settlers, but are out in such great
numbers that should trouble arise be-
tween them and the settlers II would
result In big killing. A company of
soldiers from Fort Duchesne is now
encnmped Mt Rangley and hope to get
the Indians back 10 the reservation In
the next few days.
