PROFOUND SORROW
AT JOHNST0WN

the main corridor of the mine to the
main siding and supply shanty, where
a stop was made. Here the party
climbed into cars drawn by a COM
pressed air motor and soon were dash
ing at increasing speed into the black
ness ahead. After a sharp run the eX-
cursion brought up with violent jerk
at the fireboss' shanty at the mouth OF
the Klondike main heading, which
branched off to the left.
"AI out to be searched" came the
command from Il begrimmed miner.
"Open lamps must he left here and
each one will be provided with safety
lamp" some one said.
Gentlemen, you must leave matches
or combustible materials here"
These orders compiled with, the cars
were again gained and the trip into
the horror invested district was con-
tinued.
1t was at the place where this ex-
perience was had that fire bosses who
were killed or those saved were when
the explosion came, and from which
they started in on their heroic work of
rescue. On into the Klondike, the short
train sped. Now and then the roof
lurked closer to the heads of the party
and they were compelled to stoop to
save pieces of their scalp from being
knocked off.
For nearly a mile the trip through
the inky blackness extended before an
other halt came. This was at the Fifth
Right heading.
Here the first chill of horror was re-
ceiyed. About on all sides We're strewn
tin dinner pals, in direful confusion.
They marked the spot of the finding or
the first dead, Thursday night. More
than twenty-five dead bodies had here
greeted the sight of the rescuing party.
After the visitors debarked and in
spected this spot they commenced
working their way afoot down the main
heading for some distance. Finally
they reached the mouth of No. Six
Right heading, in the very heart of the
zone of death. The dim light of the
lamps here exposed a rude canvas cur
tain which overhung as If to conceal
from mortal gaze, in spite of the black
ness, the seat of the explosion. The
curtain served to brattice the heading
into which air currents were being
worked to disinfect it of its poisonous
element. fTOIl Tic uEPtHo VI 'ha'
terror from twenty to thirty dead were
taken during Thursday, Friday and
saturday, Superintendent Robinson
said.
With a sort of reverence, the party
left the spot, retracing the main Klon-
dixie heading to No. Right, which was
entered. This has not been worked for
somr time. The floor was strewn with
rock. some of which was brought down
by the explosion For quite stretch
the walk led through a miniature sub
terranean lake, through which all had
to wade.
Some distance in, an opening was
reached, which led through TO No. 4
Right heading. This connection is
known in mine parlance as dog
hole" 1t was closed up before the ex-
plosiCn, but the force of the explo-
sion blew the rock walls in. Through a
space not three feet in height, the
party crawled. The trip then extended

kinds. Fed exclusively on either

Agricultural Outlook.

There is no question but what
the outlook for our farmers is not
at all favorable at present. In
the first place all food stuffs are
high both for man and animals,
and many will have to buy some,
q large number all such supplies,
which will make the crop an ex.
pensive one to make. Super
added to this impediment of
profit is the late spring and the
recent heavy floods necessitates
planting corn the second time,
which will throw the two crops
of cotton and corn to come on
together, and one or the other is
hound to suffer for work. Corn
will not wait for work without
injury. Therefore it would be
best not to plant cotton too early
so that it will not follow too
closely upon the corn. 1t will
require the closest economy and
most persistent attention to every
branch Of work to make the crop
pay. The farmer, however, may
work with hope. for it is pretty
well assured from present indi-
,ation of the cotton situation and
1rices this years crop will bring
sgood price unless it should
orove a bumper, /" which is not
very likely. Millet and sorghum
5hould be planted in this month
. feed to stock green to help out
sed, plenty of hay and some
.otton seed meal will help to save
luying SO much corn. Some
ines when meteorological con-
itions are right cotton just
\ lakes seemingly for fun, and
lis may be one of the years.
Q keep,up courage.
