To-day the south produces on an
average of 100000 to II 900, 900 bales
of cotton, representing, including the
cotton-seed, q valuation of from $780,
100000 to S4O0,000,0O0. This enormous
crop is produced on per cent, of the
total area of the cotton region. OF
the entire cotton-growing territory
of the south, only 20 per cent. is now

promptly closed dows, all the men
escaping, and force OF men was sent
down in No 3 shaft adjoining to putty
up the doors to prevent the fire from
spreading. One consisting of 12 men
was almost overcome with the gas
from the burning timber and started
for the ladders in order TO escape. One
man, VIII ,McRae, fell behind and had
to be abandoned. The men barely
crawled TO the surface. where the en-
tire medical Staff of the Calumet &
Hecla mine had been called to their
assistance with oxygen apparatus.
After rescue party had gone down
twice after the missing man he was
brought up from the ninth level,
where he was found hanging on lad
der. Efforts at restoration failed.
Five Others of the party, Ben Saun-
ders, John Haun, Richard Martin,
Richard Richards and Simon Russell,
are now in the hospital. Russell is in
precarious condition. The men are
leaving other parts of the mine be-
cause of gas.
1.-THE Calumet and Hecla mine is on the
Kewanee peninsula in northern Michigan
and was discovered in 1865, II is said. by a
pig roofing about in some old leaves in
a hole This was the first clew to the los:
copper mines told of in the legends of the
Indians. The development was slow at
first, but was continuous, and in the course
of time the magnitude of the deposits be-
came known. over $55, 900. 900 has been paid
in dividends since thea and the plant as 1t
stands now, while the company is capital
lied for only 81, 100000, is considered to be
worth s60, 100000. To bring the mines up to
paying stage of development $500, 600
was spent. The company owns mines
stamps, mills, smelters, railroads, and in
| fact, several towns with population of
| not less than 10000 people dependent on the
mines for their living. The mine company
property covers hundreds of acres and the
| shafts in some parts are the deepest in the
world. Prof. Agassiz made tests In the Call
umet and Hecla pits for ascertaining by
comparison the heat of the interior of the
| earth and the rate at which 1t increased or
| diminished. The last big fire in these mines
was in 1884, and for a long period parts OF
| the working were abandoned until the fire
| could be got under CONTROL
