All of the soldiers on duty at the

ings of which were raZed, also fell
victims.
Forty corpses have already been re-
covered. The cause of the explosion is
not known.
FIFTY thousand llilogrammes of black

volcanic eruption had occurred, the
country being swept almost bare with
in radius of two miles, houses de-
stroyed. trees overturned and distort-
ed. fields devastated and covered with
stones and impalpable black dust.
Some of the stones are enormous.
One weighing fifty kilogrammes fell
in the suburb of Pone De Las.
Later reports show that the seven
sentries, four We're killed outright, and
the others severely injured, the cor
poral being literally scalped and the
scalp overhanging his face Ike Il veil
a large number of soldiers are now
employed IN clearing away the debris
but the work is difficult.
1t is impossible to ascertain accur-
ately the number killed. but it is be-
leved that no fewer than 100 were in
jured.
Although it was n clear night, the
explosion was so terrific as to produce
slight rainfall.
Fortunately, the neighborng maya
zines escaped. 1t is now believed that
the explosion originated in chemical
decomposition in smokeless powder.
There is no suggestion OF foul rlay.
To-day the whole city is in mourn

tres are draped and the casinos are
closed.

authorities are forwarding relief

ward the maintenance of the families

tion has been opened here.
All the bodies found or recovered are
terribly mutilated. Sixteen We're found
in the rocks near the shore and it is
feared that others We're precipitated

found that Mr.. Blows predictions We're

Intention to push the tunnel at once
into Breeze hill, thus opening up at
great depth leading gold belt mines
and to use the tunnel not only to
carry off the water, but to transport
the ore as well. Just at this time came
the big blow to silver and at the same
period the Silver Cords big concen-
trating mill was destroyed by fire, so
the company dropped further pushing
of the tunnel as originally intended.
The importance of just such tunnel
was, however, quite plain to mining
men interested throughout that terri
tory and the ground which the big
bore was to pierce and as a result the
question was pretty thoroughly dis
cussed and the Yak Mining, Milling
and Tunnelling Company was iucor-
porated, taking in all the Silver Cord
combination and having in view the
continuance of the tunnel into Iron
and Breeze hills, developing and drain
ing all properties along its line and
making such arrangements with claim
owners as to the mineral discovered
as would be mutually beneficial to all
concerned. The work has been pushed
ahead steadily since 1895 and at its
present workings in the Ravena claim
the tunnel is at depth of about $50
feet. The tunnel is IX1 in the clear,

If the Malta-Leadville tunnel is ever
built it will be the biggest project ever
carried through in the camp. For the
past eight years rumors were occa-
sionally heard of the big drainage tun-
mel to be built from Malta to Carbon
ate hill to drain the mines of this
camp. Time and again this tunnel has
been discussed in mining circles and
some years ago company was formed
and work actually started. One can
still see the remains of the open cut
where work was started near Malta,
but for various reasons, probably the
most essential of which was the lack
of funds the big bore has never pushed
ahead. Estimates ON the amount re-
quired to carry through this prospect
ranged from $T50,O00 to $1,250,000.-

The Ascent OF Woman.

In an article in The Young Woman

occupations for women except domestic
service there were at the date of the
last census 61 coo women dressmakers
10000 employed in the public houses
4,500 in printing establishments and
4,721 in mines. Even the postofiice,
edged about with red-tapism as it L.,
has nearly 10000 women as clerks, tel.
egraphists. sorters, etc, and there are
included in these figures no fewer than
160 head postmistresses and $3.50 sub
postmistresses. Where there was one
lady clerk in 1871 there are now four;
and-to take two industries only
there are now 121 women per 100 men
in the tobacco industry, as against AZ
per 100 in 1871; while in hemp and jute
the women workers have increased
from 67 per 100 men to 1876 per 100,
There are throughout the kingdom
nearly 10000 women engaged
in teaching, almost three times the
number OF men; and 200 women have
worked their way into government de-
partments as typists. II Is significant

THE YAK TUNNEL.
Description of tile Big Leadvilie Enter
prise


Two of the most important enter
prises for Leadville are two immense
drainage and dray tunnels. one of
which is slowly but surely piercing the
rich areas of the camp at the present
time, while the other is still matter
of conjecture. but is looked upon in a
most favorable light ut the present
time. The first tunnel Is that being
carried ahead by the Yak Mining.
Milling and Tunneling Company and
is already In a distance of 1000 feet
and at the present time is piercing the
rich areas of Breeze hill. The second
tunnel Is the proposed Malata tunnel,
to be run to drain the great Leadville
and other basins and for which tunnel
Senator Joel w. Smith of Lake county
has introduced n bill that the work be
done by the present penned-up labor

The work being conducted by the

of the stock so that work can be
pushed on n more extensive scale MS
now planned. The Yak tunnel Is the
most important project under way In
the Leadville district to-day and It's
completion means n great deal for the
camp and the state mt large. At
distance of 1000 feet the end of the
tunnel Is now in the eastern portion
of the Ravena claim on Breeze hill.
The big tunnel starts I'm the Iron hill
territory at California gulch and has
bored its way through some of the best
mineralized sections OF the camp. The
original proposition for II great tunnel
to pierce Iron and Breeze hills was
first broached by A. A. Blow, an old
time Leadville mining engineer now
operating In the South African gold
fields, but at that time, 1880, manager
of the silver Cord combination. be-
lleving that II would aid the Silver
Cord people as n much lower grade
