Hanna, Wyo< July 2-4The startling
Information was received from an ex-
perienced miner and fire fighter, who
penetrated the mine to the sixteenth
level, that the workings below the
seventeenth level are mass of flames,
and where a few hours ago 1t was be-
lieved the rescuers would reach the
bodies of the entombed miners not
later than noon.
The efforts of those working below
the surface are now confined TO the
work of walling up the entries and
slopes and putting up freproof bar
riers which will prevent the flames
from reaching the seventeenth and
other levels above This is taken as
an indication that the rescuers realize
the fruitlessness of further attempts
to reach the entombed miners below
the seventeenth level
Added to the horrors of the fire,
which doubtless will destroy the un-
derground workings, is the danger of
another explosion which may occur at
any time. The situation is decidedly
grave. There is great danger of the
flames breaking through into the en-
tries from which the reseuers are en-
deavoring 10 reach the two score or
more bodies known to be in No. IT
entry Here the gas has accumulated
in such large Quantities that the res
cuers cannot sssHain long at sme,
and the gas Gee iRited will Cause
the second catastrophe.
According to the best information
obtainable 235 men out of 2S2 who
were in the mine were killed in the
explosion. The majority of the vic
tins are Finlanders and negroes.
Omaha, July An order for 80
coffins in which to bury victims of the
mine horror at Hanna. Wyo, was re-

NEW SAFETY SIGNAL
To Prevent Railroad Accidents
May be Made Here.


Mr.. Bnrdick, the Inventor, in the City
Stephen ID. EIkins is President OF
Company Site Selected on West Side
Local Capitalists Interested-in-
tcresting Features of the Invention.
Mr. Irving f. Burdick, OF New
York City, Yale graduate of the
class of 1900, an inventor of device
for automatically controlling trains,
is In the city. He is the guest OF
Stephen B. Elkins Jr., who is presi-
dent of the Railway Safety Signal
Company, corporation under the
laws of New Jersey, for the manufac-
ture and installation Of the system
invented and patented by Mr. Bur
dick. Mr.. Burdick is secretary of
the company.
He is here investigating the pros
poets offered for building and
operating a plant for the manufac-
ture of the articles necessary to put
the system into successful operation.
Several local capitalists have be
come much interested in the project,
and will subscribe for the stock. A
site has been selected on the west
side. There are excellent prospects
for locating the plant there. The
industry would employ large num-
Der of skilled workmen, and would
be well worth special efforts to
land 1t.
The system invented by Mr. Bur
dick presents some new and interest
ing features in railroading 1t fur
nlshes means whereby railway trains
may be stopped automatically in
situations of peril, when there is a
train ahead, an open switch or draw
bridge, or when there is water on
the track or broken rails. The de-
vice gives a signal in the cab of the
engine indicating the danger to the
engineer, shutting of the steam au-
tomatieally, putting on the air
brakes, and bringing the train to a
gradual stop.
The device is arranged to test
automatically eaeh.bloek section of
the track, In advance of the train,
before the train enters that section.
1t makes rear end aud head-on col
lision impossible. Two trains ap-
preaching each other would stop
automatically as soon as they enter
ed the same block.
Mr.. Burdick has five patents
covering the system, and has filed
claims for more He is one of the
Joint inventors of the Yale snbma-
rine arc lamp, which was inven ted
while Mr.. Burdick was in Sheffield
Scientific School. He waa also a
member of the Connecticut National
Guard during his college course, and
during the recent war with Spain
had charge OF the laying of the sui
marine mines in New Haven harbor.
He is a member of the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers.
Mr.. Burdick is now associated
with the Metropolitan Street Rail
way Company of New York. His
model is ON exhibition at l25 East
