now reported to be imprisoned. Four
dead have been taken out and six in

Lost Creek Mining company. Ten ply
sicians were taken in conveyance at 1:15
from Oska1ooSa and were expected to

mines, the explosion was what is known
as dust explosion and took place at

and James A1abee. The foreman stated
that The doctors had not yet arrived and
that there We're fifty-five men impris-
oned.
A message received from Lost Creek
at 2:45 states that there was little hope
for the fiftyfive miners imprisoned and
that the explosion was due to a shot
blast which was Immediately followed
by dust explosion which filled the en-
tire eastern portion of the mine. a

SHE WILL TAKE
Mrs. Benjamin Harrison Has Not
Declined Pension.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 24.-Friends of
Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, widow of eX-
President Harrison, have had their at
tentiOn called to statements published
in several papers to the effect that she
has asked those in charge of the move
ment to grant her pension not to pre-
sent the bill to congress.
This is incorrect, as stated by them
They say Mrs. Harrison has at no time
made any objection to the presentation
of such a bill and still believes the
matter can with propriety be presented
to congress inasmuch as the surviving
widows of other ex-presidents have
been recipients of the same official
recognition by congress. Mrs. Harrison
was asked last night if she had re-
quested that the bill be not presented
She said:
mo, I have made no such request
at any time. L have supposed that
congress would accord the same recog
milton of eX-President Harrison's serv-
ice by granting to his widow a pension
as have been granted to those of other
presidents. My desire to give my
daughter the same advantages she
would have enjoyed had her father
lived is my chief thought in the mat
ter
Mrs Harrison was asked if it were
true as has been printed that she IS
now enjoying an income of $4,000
year. She expressed surprise that such
a statement should have been pub
lished, saying her income was nothing
approaching that amount
The movement for the presentation OF
a pension bill for Mrs. Harrison is in
the hands of Senator Fairbanks, and
Mrs. Harrisons intimate friends here
will urge that congress be given the
opportunitv to take action on the bill

Education for the Natives.

Dr. sheldon Jackson, agent for education in Alaska, is preparing to have several summer schools for the natives in Alaska. These schools will be conducted for three months commencing about the first of June, and will be taught by gov ernment teachers. MT. C. F.. Bun nell, of Kodiak, will conduct q summer school at karluk; Mir. A. B. Evans of Wood Island at Kenai; and F. A. Boulder will conduct one at Belkofsky.
 At each of these places there are Russian schools conducted. by the priests and English is taught to a limited extent. The summer schools will be of great benefit to the chil- dren, as Russian and native alike are very anxious to learn the Eng fish language. The schools should be extended to other places and probably will be if these prove sue cessful this summer.
