a few hours When the two men arrived
at the town they found its streets
thronged with a cosmopolitan crowd
roughly CARRIED miners, cowboys, Indians,
yaqueros, greasers and well-dressed busi-

With some difficulty Gilmore and
Searle secured a claim up the mountain
side back Of the town and Immediately
set to work. They erected little shack
on it, in which they lived.
They had worked but few weeks, with
moro or less luck, but with prospects
growing brighter until Searle fell i'll with
a fever Then the double duty Of con-
tinuing the working of the mine and
nursing the sick man back to health de-
volved upon John Gilmore. He succeeded
in his task, but at the expense of his
life.
With Searle's recovery the two men
went to work with renewed energy. The
result was that within few days they
had opened UP the richest vein of ere that
had yet been discovered in San Luis Po-
tosi. When the assayers report was
known their hearts beat wild with joy.
The whole town went wild with excite

BOILER EXPLODES.
Four Men Lose Their Lives and
Forty Are Injured.
Worst Calamity That Ever Occurred
at Lebanon, Pa. - Nine Puddle
Furnaces Wrecked Death
List Mny Increase when
Ruins Are Searched.

Lebanon, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE eXplo-
sion of large boiler in scrap puddle
furnace No. ), at the West works of
the American Iron & Steel Manufac-
turing Co.'S plant late Thursday after
noon caused the death of four work
men and about 40 or more were more
or less seriously injured. The dead
are:
Jacob Bricker, aged 67 years, of
Sunnyside, "A laborer; leaves wife
and six children.
Walter Turner, of this city, a pud
dler; leaves Il wife and one child.
James Hissinger. of this city, a
puddler, leaves a wife and four chill
dren.
William Oakes, aged 35, puddler,
leaves widow.
The calamity is the worst that ever
occurred in Lebanon. The boiler ex-
ploded without warning and in an
instant the entire place was black
with death dealing debris. The wreck
and ruin of the nine adjoining puddle
furnaces was complete.
Thousands of persons were attract
ed to the scene and weeping women
and children crowded about the place,
making frantic efforts to obtain It'd
ings of their loved ones. The excite
ment was so intense, however, that
considerable time elapsed before any
information could be given them.
Physicians were called from every
quarter of the city and the hospital
ambulances and other vehicles were
hurried into service. The offices of
the works were at once converted in
TO hospital and corps of nurses
from the Good Samaritan hospital
were brought to the place. Into this
temporary hospital the MANNED and
scalded workmen were carried and
given attention. Some have their eyes
burned out, others their hands blown
off.
1t is impossible to learn the names
of the injured. Many of them, it is
believed, cannot live. Women and
children thronged the entrance to the
works crying and begging to be al
lowed inside.
II is feared the list of dead will be
materially increased when the ruins
of the nine wrecked puddle furnaces
are explored.
1t is not known whether the eXplo-
sion was due to defects in the boiler
or not. The boiler. which was of 200
horse power, broke squarely in half,
| one part sailing through the machin-
cry and woodwork of the mil. The
roof collapsed and the flames from
the puddle furnaces under the
wrecked boiler set fire to the debris.
