Work on the Sweetheart is pro.
crossing with good results. In
strengthening up the open cut on
the property more than 1000
pounds of good ore was thrown
down. 1t is the intention to keep
with the ore and the shaft will
therefore incline to She south.
A number Of miners left Battle
during the week to work on the
Jayhawker of the Cow Creek
Company. Surface water from
the SNOW is bothering some and it
is doubtful if sinking can be be-
gun before the middle of next
week.
X. II. Mccoy surveyed the Klon-
dixie group of eleven claims on
Cow creek, this week. These
claims are owned by Horton, Kin
sella, Mora and Roberts, aud are
considered valuable, not alone for
the mineral they contain, but also
for the excellent growth of timber
with which they are covered.
Geo. Howe, the champion ma
chine mover of the Cripple Creek
district, was in Battle Wednesday.
Mr.. Howe has been in the employ
of Fred CRUDE for some time. hav-
ing charge of the ore hauling at
Goldtield and general supervision
of machinery hauling all over
the Cripple Greek district. He
will very likely handle this branch
of the business for the Encamp-

Ed. Hull has bought the Bat
tie d Encampment stage line and
has also secured the mail contract
between these two points for the
ensuing year. He has leased the
Transportation company's barn in
Battle and put IN a fine line of
carriage and saddle horses and
vehicles suitable for mountain
travel. Mr.. Hull has associates
and the firm will be known as the
Hull Transfer 4 Livery Com

campment. Lew. Melvin is man
ager of this end of the line.
Fred CRUDE drove up form En-
campment last Saturday, accom-
panied by the Buckley brothers
of London, and mining expert
Weston, of world wide f,me. The
Messrs Buckley represent a large
amount of English money in this
country that is invested in mining
and they are seeking still further
fields for in 'estment, hence their
visit here. MIR. Weston is the
Scotch mining expert who recent
ly spent a month examining STRAIT

Work on the Eclipse property
at the head of Cow creek is to be-
gin next week, and the steam hoist
that II been ordered will be in
stalled AS soon as the roads can
be- made ready. The Eclipse side
lines with the Matte Gibson and
end-lines with the Sweetheart, and
has a shaft down some 60 feet on
II vein OF shipping copper ore.
This vein was only a few inches
in width at the surface but it has
gradually widened and become
richer with each foot of depth,
and the owner Of the property
expect to keep right with the ore
in the work for this summer.

FATAL EXPLOSION IN CHICAGO.
Thirteen Persons Killed In Swift q
Co.'S Plant

Chieago-With a deafening report a
boiler in Swift l. Co.'S plant exploded
shortly after 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. Thirteen lives were sacrificed
and scores OF employees, visitors and
others were injured. Huge boilers
were sent through the roof OF the boil
er house and hurled hundreds OF feet.
Nobody within the boiler room sur
viyed TO tell the story of the accident
and II may never be known what
caused the explosion. careful In
vestigation later. however. convinced
the experts that the explosion was the
result Of carelessness on the part OF
an employee, whose own life also was
lost. Five minutes after the explosion
nothing Of the boiler house but a pile
of twisted iron. bricks and mortar re
manned.
Flames sprang from the ruins and
the spectators realized that it would
be impossible TO save the lives of those
who were caught in the wreck.
The explosion was OF such force that
adjoining buildings were wrecked. torn
and twisted like toys. Men, women
and boys at work in adjoining depart
ments were hurled through windows
TO the ground below. Many OF them
escaped with slight bruises, but most
OF the victims were hurt to such an
extent that II was necessary TO re-
move them TO hospitals The others
were taken to their homes.
Digging for Victims.
While the fire was still burning
police, nremen and employees OF the
packing arm began digging in the
ruins. Soon the mangled remains OF
a man were discovered. At the same
time other rescuers were digging with
desperation to rescue several victims
who were still alive. Bodies, torn.
bruised or mangled. were taken from
the ruins and sent to the morgues. A
boy, scalded from head to foot and
bleeding from cuts and bruises, stag,
gered toward the ONCE Of General Sup
ply Agent Young. The boy was Mr..
| ioung's personal messenger. The lad
| however, had been so badly dishgured
/ that Mr.. Young did not recognize him.
1t Is not thought the loss To Swifi
/ & Co. will amount to more than $780,
600. The officials Of the company de
clare that this will cover the damage
as nearly as they are able TO estimate
at the present time. The building in
which the boilers were located was the
only structure to be entirely destroyed
and It was small structure. one story
high. The storehouse which stood
close to the boiler house was badly
damaged. a portion OF its wall beIng
torn. but it is only two stories high
With the exception OF the demolished
house there Is no damage that can no
be repaired within ten days.
