CIRCUS MENSLAIN
'."'REck ON THE RAIL KILLS
TWENTY-THREE.
The INJURED NUMBER THIRTY
Two Sections of Wallace Bros Cir
Gus Train Come Together With
Fearful Results-Three Iowa Men
Among the Killed.

DURAND, Mich.-AT air brake on
the second section of Wallace Bros.
circus train refused TO work in the
Grand Trunk railway yards here Fri
day, causing a collision between the
two sections, in which twenty-three
people were killed and thirty injured.
The circus travels in two trains of
about thirty-fve cars each. After
Thursday nights exhibition at Char
lotte the two trains left for La Pere,
over the Grand Trunk road, the Sec
ond section leaving a half hour after
the first. 1t was 3:45 when the first
section pulled into the west end of the
Grand Trunk yards here. A red light
was hung on the rear car to stop the
second section.
Engineer Probst of Battle Creek,
who was running the engine of the
rear train, says he saw this light and
applied the air brakes. To his horror
they refused to work. He reversed
his engine, but the momentum of the
train behind him was too great and
the two trains met.
Three cars Of the stationary first
section were telescoped and the en-
gine and five cars of the moving train
were demolished. The rear car of the
first section was a caboose in which
the trainmen were sleeping and the
next two cars were filled with sleep
ing circus employees.
The greatest loss of life was in the
caboose. One of the wrecked cars of
the second section was occupied by
five elephants and several camels. One
of the elephant and two of the camels
were killed outright, while the other
elephants and their trainers escaped.
With the exception of this car none
CT the menagerie was wrecked, the
other wrecked cars containing the
wagons.
AS soon as they recovered from the
first shock the trainers rushed among
the cages quieting the beasts that
were excited. The elephants in the
wrecked car behaved with surprising
calmness and were led out of the
wreck without trouble
The escaping steam and screams
and cries of those pinned in the wreck
was a horrible spectacle in the gray
of the early morning, when the train
men in the yards and the aroused
townspeople first reached the scene
Many feared at first that some of the
animals had escaped, as they could be
heard crying. The fire whistle was
Immediately sounded and the whole
town aroused. The rescuers could see
the unfortunates through the tangled
wreckage.
When the wrecking train crews
han finished pulling to pieces the
tangled and broken cars, seventeen
dead men were lying on the grass
awaiting removal to the morgue. A
majority of them were killed while
asleep. The circus performers were
on the rear of the moving train and
escaped injury. Wallace brothers say
that their loss will be very heavy,
but can give no estimate yet. This
is the second wreck that the Wallace
shows have suffered within a month.
Engineer Propst, Fireman Golfer
and Head Brakeman Benedict, who
was on the engine of the second Sec
tion, all agree that if the brakes had
worked as they should when the en-
gineer tried to use them there would
have beeen no collision

LABOR UNIONS ARE TRUSTS,
According to Belief Expressed by
John Mitchell,

Jonn mltSnSUs
Huntington, w. va, March "a
Coal operators, laboring people, pro-
fessional men and BANKERS, to the num-
Der of more than 200, crowded about
the front OF local hotel here today 10
listen to an open air address by John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine
workers, on the subject Of strikes. His
remarks were directed almost entirely
to the situation in West Virginia at
this time. He said in part:
"The capital and labor question de-
mands the serious attention and In
vestigation of the American people.
1t Is the paramount subject of the
American thinking people, and all
chimeras and theories must bow before
the great facts pressing for solution
and settlement. l am not an advocate
of strikes, but there are times when
they are necessary to clinch the argu-
ment Of truth in the interests of the
laboring people of this country. Strikes
are feature of civilization, and they
are merely means to an end in the
6iSaI ooSAoi oFoAutioh ludI 40 INV CO't-
fronting the American. Barbarous
countries and states have no strikes;
they are unknown there. Strikes are
the sledge hammers that weld the con-
Meeting links of labor and capital and
make the endless chain Of prosperity.
We want better understanding be-
tween employer and employee, and we
come with oIerings Of peace. The Ia
Dor unions are trusts Just like your
doctors trusts, the ministers trusts
and the money trust, only we cali
those associations corporations, while
we style ourselves unions. There is
no civilization without labor; there
can be no progress without this potent
factor, and why should we not protect
and settlement. l am not an advocate
and foster the interests of sucn an I'M
portant element in our national pro.
gress?
I'VE desire an amicable settlement
of the pressing questions of the labor
movement in West Virginia, and every
fair means will be employed by the
United Mineworkers to bring about
this happy result"

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

At last it begins to look as though
there would be revival in mining
in the Silverton sectlon. The i'm.
proved price Of lead puts some heart
into the owners.
Ore shipments for last week were {:
LIE Roi, $500 tons; Centre Star, 144O;
War Eagle, 1850; Velvet, $50; LIE Roi
No. 2, 700; total for the week, 6S4O;
total for year to date. S2,S72 tons.
Since the problem Of concentrating
ores of Rossland camp was first moot
ed, one of the objections raised was
on the score of inadequate water sup
plies. This difficulty is now believed
to be solved by a plan to utilize big
body of water whose utility has not
been recognized until recently.
A movement is afoot to make a thor.
oughly representative collection OF
gold and silver ores from a number OF
high grade mining properties now be-
ing worked in the neighborhood OF
Greenwood and to arrange for a well
informed man to exhibit this collec'
ton in Spokane and give full infor.
nation relative to the claims from
which these ores have been obtained
and Of surrounding claims that are
open to men with capital and enter
prise enough to secure and work them
Recently a masked mob Of 80 mel
went up to the No. Coal Creek mine
four miles from Fernie, and at the
muzzles Of revolvers compelled hall
a dozen workmen who were in charge
of the fans Of the closed mines, to
leave the town, and drove them down
the G. P. R. tracks. after some rough
handling. The mob went to the house
Of Mine Superintendent Donneen and
assaulted him and his wife, after fr
ing number Of shots in the air to in
timidate them. Donneen recognized
one Of the men, J. W. Morrison, and he
was later arrested.

MINING NOTES.

The miners Of Wardner, Idaho have
completed arrangements to open q CO
operative store.
Franklin Ballou, for many years
prominent in Colorado through his
connection with the mining and smelt.
ing business, died recently at Palm
Beach. Fla.
Nothing can be learned Of what Is
being done at the Lone Pine at Repub-
lie, Wash. but ore Is being daily load
ed on the Washington & Great North
ern railway cars for shipment to the
Crofton smelter..
The work of drifting on the 100 foot
level of the Trade Dollar mine at Re-
public, has been discontinued and the
miners are stopping. Four carloads
were shipped to the smelters last
week and two more are ready.
Harry McCowen, the contractor on
the Mineral Hill properties, near Con,
concully, is getting along at the rate
Of 60 feet per month. The miners are
in on the tunnel about 975 feet, but do
not expect to strike very much before
they are In over 1000 feet.
In a crosscut in the second tunnel
Of the Jumbo mine at Buffalo. nine
foot body of high grade ore has been
exposed. The mill at the Jumbo is
running on ore from the third tun-
mel. The new strike Is considered the
most important ever made in the
hump district.
Notices were posted at the collieries
of the Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern Co. recently. stating that all the
mines operated by the company will
work five hours per day until further
notice. Oficials of the company state
that this order is general and Is due 10
a glut In the coal market and the warm
weather.
The most important strike recently
made in Keller, WASH, camp has been
made within the last week in the Sum-
NIT mine on Silver creek, five miles
east of Keller. The shaft, which is
40 feet deep, was sunk along the
hanging wall. There was ore in this
shaft from the surface down to the 100
foot level, where it practically gave
out. After sinking 10 feet through
quartz having but little ore in 1t, the
miners concluded to crosscut to the
foot wall and after cutting through
four feet of barren schist they broke
into high grade copper ore, The cross
drift is in eight feet of high grade ore
with no sign of the foot wall yet.
