The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1901-11-29

Early this Thursday morning the
alarm was given throughout the
Fayal mine that No. 3 shaft was on
fire. The employees in this shaft at
once proceeded to ascend to the sur
face and all escaped save one Mike
KovSic, an Austrian. The fire sup
pOsedly started from candle snuff
that had reached the powder maga-
zine and exploded a couple of boxes.
The balance of the powder burned
out quietly without murmur. There
was not any damage done to the shaft
or any part of the drifts and at this
writing the fire is practically all out.
The Austrian who was lost was
soon found but had suffocated. There
was much danger passing through
the different drifts in the mine on
account of the fearfully dsagreeable
odor from the burning powder,-Eve-

After twelve weeks of constant
search the remains of Edlord Ribardy
who lost his life by a cave of gf0und
from surface near the No. 6 mine of
the Lake Superior Iron company,
were recovered Wednesday afternoon
at $3.50 o'clock. The body was found
about fifty feet from surface where it
had been carried by the downward
rush of loose dirt and rocks. The
work of searching for the remains has
been carried on under the direct sup
ervision of Capt. McEncroe and has
been a most difficult and dangerous
task. 1t has been very expensive
undertaking to the company but the
officials were as anxious that the body
be found as were the friends of the
deceased. Ribardy was member of
the French tent of the Maccabees
and carried insurance in order in the
sum of $4,000. He also belonged to
the local French society and from
this lodge his family will receive a
per capita assessment which will
amount to s3S5.-Ishpeming Iron
Ore.

"A very queer thing, all the more nueer for the singular escapes, happen ed few days ago, The Tempe Mesa Produce Co. s ice wagon from Mesa was coming to Tempe, bringing the sream from the Mesa skimming station down to the Tempe factory to he churned. Some distance east of the Tempe plant a tarction engine was met The horses attached to the ice gon became badly frightened at the engine and started to run away They shied around the en- zine and tipped the wagon over into the Hayden ditch and dragged it down the ditch a short ways before control Of the horses was secured. The driver was wet. but unlnjured. The horses were mnhitched and ropes attached 10 the wagon and the traction engine pulled 1t but of the ditch. It was undamaged, except the king bolt was bent. ut the strangest of all, the cans of cream were gotten out and not drop was spilled.
 Ben George and Leroy Hill left last night for Iron Springs.
 There was quite a drop in lard few days ago. A perspirlng and excited pc destrian came into the post office and told that some unfortunate wayfarer had been overcome ny the heat and had nln down into grease and that his re mains were lying by the roadside be- tween the post office and the depot. A number of men went down to investi- gate. Some, who hated to acknowledge that this Is a hot country. said that the town council had decided to follow the example of some California towns. and were going to sprinkle the streets with oil. Finally Mir. Penn, the drayman. rame along, and explained the whole thing, to the intense disgust of some sensation loving bystanders. The grease was the result of ease of lard consigned to Wm. Goodwin, having fall en off his wagon and bursted.

have been invented for that purpose.
One of the methods commonly used IL
to introduce into the crude oil IN a
closed vessel superheated steam, the
first dlstillate that passes off Is called
"gas-oll, used in stoves and gas en-
gines.
During the process Of dlstillatlon Sow
eral grades Of gasoline are produced be-
fore the Illuminating oils appear; after
the Illuminating oils are given OFF, the
various grades Of lubricatng oils fol-
low. In the complete distillation about
fifty different products are produced.
many of which are compounded and en-
ter into various uses.
Rigolene, the lightest of all known
fluids, and the most volatile, with vase
line are extensively used in surgery.
Cynogen is used I'm ice machines, other
distllates are compounded and are used
for paints and the rare pigments.
Reviewing the past history OF petro-
leum II may be said that it's use has
become universal as lighting agent.
1t has displaced animal and vegetable
oils as a lubricator for the heaviest ma
chlnery or the most delicate dynamo. II
is very largely used for heat and steam
purposes. Looking toward the future
use Of petroleum products, we have ev-
cry reason TO believe that its various
uses will increase and the demand keep
pace with the production, The indus
trial development Of the West depends
much upon the Utilization of these pro-
ducts. Oil and gas mean cheap fuel
and therefore, cheap power. IL Is to be
hoped that these great natural re-
sources will not go undeveloped, or De
by the few to the eXclu-
sion OF the general public.
