Mr.. Ford states that in no line has
there been greater or more marked
progress than in the fruit growing
industry. 1t was Flathead fruit that
took the first prizes at the Spokane
fruit fair this year, and during the
past few years the number of bearing
orchards have multiplied, so that the
fruit product of the valley is assum-
ing the proportions of an immense
revenue to the growers. It was the
exhibit of Flathead fruit recently
held in the principal cities of the
state that created so much comment
and attracted so much attention to
that valley.

A Dozen Men Have a Narrow
Escape
IN BELL MINE ATBUTTE
Fumes of Burning Sulphur and Wood
Smoke Nearly Pot an End
to Them.

Butte, Dec. What came near be-
ing the greatest mining catastrophe
ever experienced in this camp oc-
Cured today, when dozen men lay
in the air shaft of the Bell mine over
come by the fumes of sulphur, and
smoke Of burning wood. All were
taken out and all revived, after laying
in the fresh air on the surface for a
short time. The air shaft of the
Bell mine is about 400 feet east of
the mine and is down 200 feet, ac-
cording to one Of the men. The tim
bers caught fire some two weeks ago
and ignited the sulphur, since then
every effort has been made to sub
due the blaze. Two lines of hose
were turned on this morning, and a
gang went down to handle the water.
At about 1O:30 o'clock there were
cries Of distress from below. James
Haggins, superintendent of the mine,
who was at the 80 foot level, was al
most overcome, but he managed to
retain his senses and to give orders
that led to the rescue of the men.
They were brought to the surface as
soon as possible, and restoratives
were applied. In half and hour all
were we'll and able to walk to their
homes. The fumes from sulphur
and the smoke of burning wood form
strong combination and it is re-
markable how the men escaped death.
Great excitement prevailed for some
time, the result of an exaggerated
rumor that scores of men had been
killed in the Bell mine.

Butte, Dec. 1.-THE inquest into the
cause of the deaths of William ].
