Drowned While Eishinu .

Millard c. Yothers, late business man
ager Of the Leadville Herald Democrat,
lost his life last Sunday by drowning in
the Eagle river near Wolcott. Mr.
Yothers. in company with Frank Vaughn,
had core over from Leadville for fish
ing outing in the Eagle and not return.
ing to the station in the evening his
friends became alarmed and instituted a
search for him, recovering the body
Monday morning.
Mr.. Yothers was b years OF age and
had been connected with the Herald
Democrat for l3 years.
He bad many friends in Glenwood
who regret his un.:mely end. A CORES
pondent to the Denver Times voices the
sentiment OF Mr.. Yothers' many friends
in the following words.
"Millard c. Yothers was one Of the
truest. tenderest and most lovable men
whom it has been the good fortune Of
the writer to meet. He was not what
might be termed IN iscelaneous' in his
friendships. but when he once liked a
person. there was no sacrifice too great,
no kindness TO prompt for him to rem
der TO prove his esteem. To those who
know him best his sudden taking of
comes like the loss of favorite brother
and their grief will be lasting. for it is
very seldom that one finds so true, so
brave, SO kind a heart in life long journey.
His home life was a picture OF love and
devotion. and to the estimable wife and
daughter so suddenly deprived OF their
idol the warmest sympathy and love Of
a wide circle OF mourning friends will be
extended. Glenwood Post.

evening was 10 exception to this rule.
Plateau lodge had been invited to ex-
emplify the work OF the third degree. but
the principal officers OF that lodge were
unable to be present and the Delta
brethren agreed to do the work, assisted
by one or two members OF the Montrose
lodge. The delegations from these
places were met at the depot by members
OF the local lodge with carriages and es-
corted to the Brunswick hotel.
After the lodge had been regularly
opened in the evening, notice from the
most worshipful grand master was read,
informing the lodge that he would be
represe ntcd during the evening by his
deputy. Horace I. DeLoug, who had
authority to inspect the work OF the

Our Export Trade.

2 The most remarkable year in the trade
history Of the United States closed with
the opening OF the present month. Espe-
e'aiiy remarkable has been the advance
made in the extention of our foreign COM
nerce and the contraction Of our Imports
Our trade balance for the year is fully
100000 SOD, and each succeeding month
we have been buying less and selling
more. The Times few days since pub
lished figures from the bureau OF statis-
tics at Washington showing that our
imports for the year Just ended were
fully 30 per cent smaller, upon the aver
sge, than they were in 1897. The same
suthOrit! has now issued a report upon
exports. A compilation from this report
shows the following gratifying result:

After fruiting the Parker Earle be rry
for years under different conditions and
in different mixtures OF soil We are now
convinced that we have the mack Of
bringing it to its highest degree Of per.
fection. The plants must be grown thick
in matted rows so the foliage will partly
shade the fruit. In under hill culture
the berries are too much exposed ard
become dark and hard having a strong
taste as il burned and are absolu tely
unfit for market.
To grow the largest berries, manure
must be used without stint and thorough

must grow what sells best whether the

In only one article (cotton) is there a
falling off in the comparative value Of
our exports, and that is the result OF de
creased prices, rather than decreased
quantity, for in pounds We this year ex
ported 237 ,67I .sol more than we did in
1697. In provisions, including beef, pork
and dairy products, the value OF the ex-
portations is greater than last year, be-
|hing sl5i, i5i ,OIi, against sl37, lbs ,oSi last
year. The expectation OF wheat for the
year Including flour as wheat amount
ed 10 2l5.l7l. .96l bushels, which exceeded
the expectation OF any proceeding year
except that OF 1892, which amounted
flour includei) to 225 .6o5,sl2 bushels.
Ia no year prior TO 1897 did the guam
stity OF corr exported ever: reach half

oatmeal and rye the expectation also
greatly increased.
T With our foreign market constantly
broadening and our home production
constantly increasing, coupled with the
bet that our national power and infu-
ence is being more generally recognized

City early yesterday morning. and for
four hours two miners were imprison-
ed in the mine, with the fear of ulti-
mate death staring them in the face.
The details of the accident, according
to Manager W. J. Lawrence, who re-
ceived word by telephone of the cas-
ualty, were to the effect that the two
men had started to work in the morn
ing in the old levels, and were stopping
ore from an upraise from the 375-foot
level, when, without warning, the
ground caved from under them, leav-
ing them perched on a stull at a
height of 65 feet, where they were
nearly dead with fear when rescued,
and had they been longer imprisoned
there is no doubt but that they would
have persisted by asphyxiation, as the
air was getting very bad when the res
cuers managed to break through the
debris
Nothing was known of the accident
until noon, when the men failed to show
up for dinner, when inquiry disclosed
the fact of the cave-in, and il was be-
lieved at first that death had resulted,
as was reported in this city yesterday
afternoon. Willing hands made manly
efforts, however, and to the joy of all
it was discovered that the men had es-
capped without a scratch.
What caused the cave-in has not yet
been ascertained but as it did not end
disastrously but few will care to know

TO THAw OUT GRAVEL.
Klondike Device Invented By an
Ogden Genius.

Ogden. Feb. 17.-Charles Fifer. form
erIy of 4O2 Fort Dearborn building, Chi
cago. but now of Ogden, claims to be
the inventor of q device that viii revo-
lutionize the mining industry in the
Klondike and other frigid climates. Mr..
Fifer has been in ogden since last Sep
TENDER and is located at 1863 Twenty
fourth street. There, in room of the
Woodmansee block. he works over piles
of drawings, specifications and blue
prints He has Stunned notoriety but
yesterday talked freely of his device
to a Herald reporter.
The apparatus is one for thawing the
frozen ground without wasting heat.
Mr. Fifer claims that the needs of the
Klondike is not for more discoveries,
but for facilities to work those that are
now discovered. The waste of heat
under the present methods is simply
tremendous. a lot of fuel is piled on u
space and burned, four-fifths of the
heat going to warm the atmosphere.
The Fife device concentrates nearly all
the heat on one space, ten by six feet,
and the heat is always under control
The device is all in a little burner
which generates a blast by the fusion
of steam and oil, which attains heat
of 200 degrees.
There are two boilers, one for gener-
ating steam and the other for holding
oil and forcing it down a steam pipe to
the burner where it mingles with the
steam, which comes down the other
steam pipe from the boiler. In this
burner the steam and oil mingle and a
rotary cylinder revolves at tremendous
speed. The steam and oil go in at
one end and come out at the other
in the form of hot blast. At least,
such is Mr.. Flies explanation. and ne
says he will have machine here in
few days to demonstrate the modus
operandi TO any one who may be inter-
ested in the contrivance.
The machine, he says, will be per-
fectly portable and can be operated by
two men. It is made in several sizes.
Some of the statistics which he has
evolved in regard to his machine No.
are here given:
Twenty-four hour run
Duration of heat hour.
Depth it will thaw in one hour. II
inches.
Dirt excavated each heat, cubic
yards.
Dirt excavated in "a hours, 70 cubic

Cost of oil (72 gals. "a hours). s24.
Total cost of 24-hour run, S134.
Average cost per ton, S1.24.
Average cost per cubic yard, $1.S5.
Mr.. Fifer says the machine has been
tested in Chicago and was entirely sue
cessful.
The test of Mr.. Fifer's machine, when
it is made in Ogden, will be watched
with much interest
Mr.. Fifer has an eye to business and
is preparing to advertise his machine
One of the pictures for his
matter represents his sa-
tanic majesty ordering number of the
machines and saying. soto voce, that
he can get more heat out of them than
by any of his own devices.

vein on its strike had been pushed in
this direction for a distance of 225 feet,
the face of the workings being in a
fine body of excellent milling mineral
in which there is a fair showing of
cinnabar, the ore body holding its own
at this point in a most encourage
manner, as, in fact, the extent of the
deposit has not yet been determined
by cross-cuts.
Besides the work that is being done
in this direction, an incline is being
sunk on the dip of the vein from level
No. 2 to No. 3 at a point about 16O feet
north of the shaft. This incline is now
down about 10 to 20 feet, all the way
