Five Men IntOmbed in n Tunnel
Where an Explosion Occurs.
Butte, Mont, Speciai-Two heavy
explosions in the tunnel for the fiume
near the upper smelling works in An
aconda were heard by the people of
that city about 8 o'clock, bute at
tention was paid to them. About 1
o'clock in the morning Mr.. Jennings,
one of the contractors on the tunnel,
went up there and found the black
smith shop at the mouth of the tun-
mel blown away. 1t was found that
for thirty feet the timbers bad been
blown out Of line and that further
progress was blocked by a monster
cave-in which extended to the sur
face. Then it was realized that the
five men who were working there at
the time Of the explosion had been
probably killed, and a large crew was
put to work to clear the tunnel. 1t is
q mighty task and will take some
hours TO complete.

Yukon in the search for gold, and has
diverted the attention of many others.
But in order to get there it is necessary
that a man should be possessed of tho
best of health, strong powers of endu-
rance and considerable means. He
leaves his wife and his family for a con-
siderable period, and the hardships he
has to endure are all unknown to him.
Canada has other gold fields, though.
They are the fields that produce her
golden grain. This year the crop Of
Manitoba, lying directly north of North
Dakota, yielded 21,000,00 bushels Of
wheat alone. The current price aver
ages 76 cents, which, as a local paper
puts it, makes the product in gold this
year, for wheat alone, equal to value
of SIS, $780, 00." Twenty thousand farm
ers did this, or an average to each pro-
Queer of about $798.
but these same farmers are not liv-
ing by wheat alone. This is only one
source of revenue to them out of many.
They have also beef, butter, potatoes,
oats, barley and poultry to sell, and
sometimes other things, so that it may
be fairly estimated that their incomes
will average at least $1,000 per farmer.
Thus Manitoba's fields have yielded
this year fully $20,000,000 in gold, di-
vided among 10000 actual producers,
and a general population of about 20O,-
000."
After counting the cost of stamp
mills, expenses of men, etc., rich as is
the Klondike, such vast wealth as is be-
ing taken out of the soil in raising
wheat in this one province, cannot pos
sibly be secured in any mining district.
Of course mining development assists
agricultural development, and that is
why the Government of Canada feels
so much assurance in predicting pros
perity to all who take up farms in Can
ada. Western Canada today promises
more than any other known field that is
open to immigration. Farms of 100
acres, capable of producing the best
No hard wheat, yielding thirty to for
ty bushels to the acre, are given away
free Railways, markets, schools,
churches-all are convenient. The
Canadian form of government is one Of
the most liberal known, and hearty
welcome is given to settlers of all ma
tionalities. Already there are many set
tiers gone in from the states, and the
reports from them are highly favorable.
Those desiring information as to free
homestead laws, low transportation
rates, ETC., will have pamphlets, etc.,
sent free on application to the Depart
ment of the Interior Ottawa, or to any
agent of the Government.

st. Paul, Special Successful as was
the first day of the National Live

ton, and great as was the interest in
the proceedings, it was fairly eclipsed

the 200 delegates present on the pre-
viOus day there were twice that num-
Der in the hall. The programme was
not whit less practical than that OF
the opening day. Splendid testimony
was given throughout of the exception
al advantages of Minnesota as feed
ing state, and the wonder was fire.
Quently expressed that the farmers of
the state had not long ago recognized
the possibilities in this direction The
delegates closed the sessions with an
unanimous expression of the high ed
ucational value of the convention.
The convention has done more than
entertain and instruct those in attend
ance. 1t has been the means of bring
ing together larger number Of the
members of the live stock breeders OF
the state than have ever assembled be-
fore.
The principal papers were read by
DR.. III. M. Reynolds, r. M. Allen, John
A. Craig, James J. Hill and Mrs. Vir-

THE LOST TRIBE.
Feeding Indians Who Have Never
Before Been EurnIled

Ashland, Wis, Special-Capt. Scott
of the La Pointe Indian agency has
gone to Crandon, Wis, Where he will
distribute about $4,000 worth of ra
lions, consisting of pork, -four and
clothing, to the so-called lost tribe Of
Chippewa Indians. This band of In
dams WAS discovered by Capt. Scott
last summer, and really belongs to no
tribe, and these are the first rations
that have been distributed to them.
The Indians all over the country are
in more destitute circumstances this
winter than last, as the game law is
more strict. the rice beds failed, and
the cutting of timber which was
formerly depended upon to support
them, is mora restricted. About six
weeks ago about $1,000 worth of IA
tions were distributed to the Indians
at Tower, Mimi, and about the same
amount is being distributed this week.

CUTTING INSURANCE RATES.


Biddeford,s March 10.-Some of the Bid
deford and Saco fire insurance agents
have been in stew over rumors of rate
cutting. 1t was said that in some cases
property owners had been receiving from
certain agents rebates from premiums as
an inducement for the transfer of patron
age. The matter was recently looked in
to by inspectors from heaqduarters At
the suggestion of Mr.. George G. Macomber
of Augusta, chairman of the state ex
change, the York county board Of under
writer's has decided to adopt the Br dge-
port plan of protection of agents from I'M
fair competition. Every agent is to de-
post with the treasurer of the board $25,
which will be forfeited in case of any
complaint that such depositor has been
INDUCING in any irregularities in the
solicitation of business. The accused can
redeem the forfeit only by presenting
affidavits Of the parties insured denying
the accusation. This plan is said to have
worked admirably in other states.

DAMAGED BY A GALE.

San Francisco, March 10.-A fierce gale
swept over the bay last night. The wind
blew steadily from the north until =
O'Clock this morning causing ships IN
the stream to drag their anchor and
those at the piers to wear their sides
against piles, carrying away rails and
not only damaging themselves, but
water front property.
The coasting steamer Eureks lies at the
bottom of the harbor. Her main deck is
awash and it will cost several thousand
dollars to raise her. Hundreds OF per-
sons crowded about the Broadway bulk
head today and gazed at the strange sight
of a,sswrecked passenger vessel within
stones throw OF Market street.
The gale subsidized into q brisk north.
west breeze by O'Clock in the morning.
but left.a pretty good sea running. The
early ferry boats had hard time steering
against the wind and tide and many OF
the passengers suffered from sea sick
ness. The bay was filled with wreckage
OF decks, scows, sohooners, derricks and
RATS Moorings were torn lcose and
iron moor1ngs had about as much effect
in holding ships at the North end
wharves as would ten penny nails. The
damage along the front from Howard
street north will amount in round
figures, including damage to shipping,
to $500, 900.

WHAT CONSTITUTES RESIDENCE.

Augusta, March 10.-What constitutes
legal voting residence became point
before the local hoard of registration this
week, and Judge W. P. Whitehouse gives
an opinion as follows: SIT is we'll set
tied law that whom a man removes from
one town to another, or from one state
to another, it is the union of personal
presence in the new town with amin
tention to remain there for an indefinite
period, which constitutes the residence
in the new town. If, for instance, q man
breaks up housekeeping in Massachusetts,
and comes to Augusta with his house
hold goods with the intention to work
here and have his homo here for an in
definite period, and he personally remain
here and works here, his residence in
Augusta will commence from the day he
arrives in Augusta, although for want of
o rent in Augusta or for other temporary
reasons, the wife may remain in Massa-
chusetts for several months. The hus
band has the legal right to choose his
residence. 1t is his will and intention
that must CONTROL
