Mine Disaster.
Salt Lake, May THE greatest
funeral train in the history of Western
America started OH its journey from
Scofield today. The train had upon 1t
the remains of about 35 or more Of the
victims of the Winter Quarters disas-
ter. Accompanying the bodies were
many relatives, who are bowed down
with the severity of the blow that they
have so suddenly sustained. One of
the miners who was in the mine at the
time of the explosion and who was one
of the first rescuers who went in to re-
cover the bodies. tells an interesting
story. He was in No. /, in the first
raise, when the explosion occurred, but
SO far away from it that the sound did
not reach him. He suffered moment
with the air. but thought it the result
of q cavern, worked on quarter of an
hour, when his miners instinct told
him that something was wrong, and he
came on down to the main entrance.
A door had been fitted in here to keep
the current of good air from going
above, and to direct it into the main
workings, where it would meet the
damp and either weaken it very much
or drive it back. This door was guard
ed on the outer side. Passing on to the
mouth of the tunnel, this miner, with
Others, joined Superintendent T. J..
Parmley, and went to No. 4. where the
greatest danger existed. Outside of the
mine those working had all been in.

WHOLE TOWN BURNED
Second Mining Camp in the
SLOGAN Country.
LOSS EXCEEDS HALF A MILLIOl
Water Supply Failed and the Fire
Burned Itself Out-Aid Sent
and More Needed.

Spokane. May IA special to the
Spokesman.Review from Kaslo, B. G.,
says:
Sandon, the second mining town In
importance in the SLOGAN, has been
completely destroyed by fire and nearly
all its 1900 people are homeless and
ruined. Kaslo is % miles from San
don, but about midnight large clouds
of smoke came rolling over this town
from Sandon. At once word went ont
that Sandon was destroyed, but no news
could be had from the desolate town.
as all wires had been burned.
At4P. NJ. q train came in from San
don bringing q number of those who
lost all their property. They reported
that the total loss was between $780,
900 and $1,000, 900, while the insur-
ance could only have been about $685.
900.
The alarm was sounded shortly after
midnight, and quickly the streets were
filled with hundreds of men and wo-
men. The flames started between
Spencer's hall and Browns store.
Two streams seemed to hold the flames
in check for a while. Then one stream
gave out and the flames spread rapidly.
After that it was only q matter of the
fire burning itself out.
The miners hospital and drug store
were blown up in the effort to stop the
flames. By this time all the lower
part of town, including the tenderloin
and many business places were gone.
Then the firemen blew up the Echo
hotel. one of the finest buildings in the
Kootenay country, the Canadian Pa
cific railroad station and other build
ings in order to save the valuable stores
of H. Geigerich and H. Byers & Co.
This uas accomplished. Half dozen
other buildings at the extreme ends OF
the town were saved, including the
electric power-house. The rest of the
town was drawn into the maelstrom of
flame.
Relief measures were taken quickly.
The officials of Sandon donated $500,
ana mining men there contributed
$1,000. Kaslo raised 81, 800 and sent
up special train with large supplies
of food, tents and clc-'ing. More re-
lief is needed.
