A Disaster Averted at 0uray.

Eight men were overcome by poison
last Saturday.
Two huge gasoline engines are used
in the Portland workings. One on the
surface keeps the mine charged with
fresh air. A second, 500 feet 10 the tun-
mel, operates the hoist. From this last
engine the exhaust pipe has not been
completed to the surface.
During the early afternoon, the sup
ply OF gasoline in the surface engine.
which runs without constant attention.
was exhausted and the supply OF fresh
air 10 the mine was at once shut OF.
The tunnel engine. however. kept on
running full blast. and its deadly gas
poured from the unfinished exhaust.
Before they realized their danger the
eight men in the workings had fallen
victims to the fumes. One by one they
dropped and only one man named Eg-
gleston. failed to succumb. On hands
and knees he made his way beyond the
zone OF the gas and after nearly an hour
OF torturing climbing. reached the sur
face. There he fell unconscious and un-
til another half hour was passed was
unable to tell OF the tate OF the men be-
low.
Foreman Gould did not wait to hear
the end OF the story. Shouting to the
others who had gathered, he dashed in-
TO the mine and made for the death
dealing engine to shut of the power.
He dropped almost at the throttle and
those who came after him found him all
| but dead.
The engine WAS finally stopped and
with gasoline taken form it the surface
engine was started and fresh air forced
into the drifts. Meanwhile the rescu
irg party had made it's way to the un-
conscious group 10 the drift beyond.

What Fellows Says.
Montrose Enterprise

Montruse Enterprise
H.drographer A. l. Fellows was in
the city Tuesday aud yesterday until
train time. In an interview he says
that the report Of Secretary Hitchcock
that the farmers in this valley must
subscribe for mort water before tunnel
construction can begin is tie situation
exactly. He puts the number OF acres
ye; necessary as 1000. He also says
the government has no pet schemes and
that unless eDough water is actually
subscribed for TO guarantee the repay
meat OF cost OF construction the tunnel
cannot be built by the government. He
says the final decision will be based on
actual merit alone, and merit must be
decided by amount OF water needed as
shown by the number OF acres sub
scrioed, and by the feasibility OF the
plans. The latter is practically settled
now. The tunnel is feasible.
1t only remains for the farmers TO
prove by their signatures that water is
needed. The government. both Mr..
Fellows and Mr.. Mcconnell say. will
not take a thing for granted. but must
have sig snatures.
Mr.. Mcconnell further saws that in
his opinion this matter will be decided
on in about elk weeks. so there is no
time for fooling il farmers expect to win
their case. There are practically 10000
acres OF land yet unsigned. aside from
loan company lands, and OF that two
thirds must be signed
