Wardner, Idaho, April 80. Armed
masked and desperate, 1000 miners from
Canyon creek poured into the town al
noon yesterday on stolen Northern Pa
cific train. Three hours later they had
left with their mission accomplished. The
great Bunker Hill mill, costing $500, 900
had been blown into million pieces by the
aid OF a ton and half of dynamite, which
the rioters brought with them. ALTHOUGH
the mob from Canyon Creek met with moi
the slightest resistance, yet they left here
with two of the Bunker HILL men shot
from behind, while with them they took
the dead body of fellow rioter, whom
they themselves had accidentally shot.
The dead comprises:
Jack Smith, miner at the Tiger
at Burke, shot with rifle ball through
the chest.
The injured are:
james Cheyne, vanner man at the
Bunker Hill mine; shot through the hir.
r. r. Rogers, stenographer at the
Bunker Hill mine office; shot through the
lip, slight.
The Bunker Hill mine is closet. When
it will be re-opened is thing that no liv-
ing man can say. With the mil wrecked
it is impossible to handle the ore produced
at the mine workings. The Last Chance
is likewise closed down. 1t has been get
ting power from the Bunker Hill mill, and
the destruction of those works will abso.
Mtely prevent the Last Chance from work
ing for the next three months, or until
its own compressor is complete. Mean
while the total working force of the town
is laid off.
The wrecking of the mill plant involves
the livelihood of 600 men. The Bunker
Hill mine up to the strike had be n wo k
ing 800 men and the mill 80, while the
Last Chance altogether employed $50
people.
Demand for Troops.
AT $3.50 last evening the governor sent
to President Mckinley formal demand
for 500 regular soldiers, asking that they
be dispatched at once to the scene Mar
tial law has not been declared, the ordi-
nary legal formalities not having been
gone through with, and it seems doubtful
if any such procedure can be had, owing
to the affiliations of so many of the off
Gals in Shoshone county who must CO.
operate.
Valuable Papers Destroyed.
1t has been learned that quantity
OF valuable documents in the suit now
pending between the Bunker Hill & Sui
Ivan and the Last Chance had been PLACED
in the Bunker Hill office, and were COM
pletely destroyed when that building was
fired. Among these documents were
maps, drawings of the mines and data
of the greatest importance to the Bunker1
Hill people. 1t is not known what effeal
on the suit the destruction of these pa
pers win have. The more valuable of the |
office papers, togther with what cash was
on hand, were placed in the safe some time
before the building was fired, and probably |
will be found to be uninjured when the
safe is recovered from the run

Buried Cities.

Many of us, no doubt, often wonder
how it is possible for the sites of great
cities to be covered many feet deep
with heaps of debris and earth. so that
after two o. three thousand years the
levels of the original streets can be
reached only by excavation.
The explanations vary with the To-
calities. The lower portions of Rome
have been filed up by the foundations
OF the Tiber; the higher by the decay,
destruction or burning Of large build
ings. The ancient builders rarely took
pains to eXcavate deeply, even for a
large structure. When Nero rebuilt
Rome he simply leveled the debris and
erected new houses on the ruins of the
old.
Earthquakes are responsible for
much of the destruction wrought
round the shores of the Mediterranean,
for there was q current superstition
that an earthquake came as special
curse on a place, and after one Of
these visitations the locality was often
totally deserted. In places of rich
soils earthworms bring to the surface
an inch or two Of ground every year,
while the winds, bearing clouds of
dust, contribute their share to the
work of burying the ruins of deserted
cities

Oldest Coal Mine.

Franz Buettgenbach, mining engi-
neer, Aachen, who published last year
little book on this subject, has been
dipping again into certain old docu-
ments, and has reached the conclusion
that the earliest coal mining operation
antedated the period assigned in his
first book. In new publication,
"Geschichtliches ueber die Entwicke-
lung des 500 Jaehrigen Steinkohlen.
bergbnues an der Worm, 1113-189s,"
he expresses his opinion that coal was
mined much prior to 11l3. 1t appears
that coal was first found in the Liege
district about 1899, long after 1t had
been found and worked in the Worm
district, and no doubt now is enter
tanned that in the Worm district it
was worked before lib. In his His
tory of Coal Mining In Great Britain"
Galloway says that 1t is probable that
before the close Of the reign Of VIII
liam the Lion (1214) coal was attract
ing some attention on the south shore
of the Firth of Forth, and that during
the reign Of this king grant of 1.-THE
of the colliery of Garden, near Black.
ness, was made to the monks of Holy
rood abbey, Edinburgh. This was 100
years after the mines in the Worm dis.
trict were opened and regularly work.
ed. 1t is not likely that coal was mined
In Great Britain before the thirteenth
century, whereas 1t was mined in the
Worm certainly as early as the begin.
ming Of the twelfth century, and per
haps even before this.

Herald. The lick, or larch, plant Is
peculiarly pliable when young, and
the native japanese have twisted the
plants into quaint figures, chiefly Of
birds and beasts. AS result of their
handiwork, pedestrians in Dey street
and confronted with huge cranes,
ROSTERS bearing on their backs broods
of young chickens, turtles, frogs,
storks and a multitude of snakes,
twisting about in shapes weird and
fantastic.
The plant has a thick, strong root,
from which thousands of shoots of
green, covered with small white petals,
grow. The Japanese gardener takes
charge of it when the plant is young,
and, by bending and binding the
stems with wire, gradually forms it
into any shape desired. AS the stems
grow stronger the forms which they
were trained to assume when young
remain perfect, and when the plant is
full grown and ready to transplant
the gardener has collection of birds
and animals which lends to his garden
the appearance Of small menagerie.

THE NEWARK AT VALPARAISO.
Gillian Port = Chill Fur
nished Her Coal.

Santiago de Chilli, June 26.-The
United States cruiser Newark, COM
manded by Capt. c. F. Goodrich, has ar
rived at Valparaiso.
The Newark left Montevideo for Val
paraiso May /. and her captain was in
etructed to make q quick passage, as It
was expected the cruiser would be needed
at Samoa.
Her arrival, June ~, at Port Low
Guacaneck island, on the west coast OF
Patagonia. was reported, and it was added
that she had encountered severe storms in
the Straits of Magellan.
The Newark having run short of coal
the Gillian government dispatched the
gunboat Plsagua with 200 tons of coal to
Port Low to supply the cruiser and enable
her to continue her voyage to Valparaiso.
