MISSOURI a NEWS.
Inspector Evans Report.

Inc annual. report Of Charles Evans.
state coal mine inspector of Missouri,
which has Just been issued. shows that
coal mining is an important industry
of Missouri. The total production Of
coal for the year just closed in Mis-
souri, was 4,063,572 tons, as compared
with 3,S13, 527 tons in the preceding
year, showing an increase of 25O,045
tons. This increased product was I'M
expected, as during the year there was
an extended suspension of wC9k and a
shortage of miners. During the win
ter season 1876 men were employed
in the coal mines of the state, anG dur
ing the summer there were 1907 en-
ployes. There are 1886 mines operated
in the state; 100 have steam plants, 116
HORSEPOWER plants and s electric
plants. During the year there were
94,712 kegs of powder used. Eighteen
miners or other employees lost their
lives through accident, a very small
percentage as compared with loss in
other states.

Big Fire in St. Louis.

So rapidly did the flames spread in a
fire which almost totally destroyed the
shops of the John O'Brien Boiler
Works Co., in st. Louis, that the en-
ployes, numbering about 200, were
forced to run for their lives. Mr..
O'Brien estimated the damage to be
about $4,000. This is partly covered
by insurance. The fire started shortly
after the opening hour at the shops. 1t
1t not known exactly how the fire orig
mated, but it is thought that either a
tank of machine oil became overhead
ed and caught fire or that flying sparks
fell upon some combustible material.
The rapid spread of the fire was due
to the draft running through the build
ing. Much greasy material was in the
plant. Several other large manufac-
turing establishments in the immedi-
ate neighborhood were for a time
threatened with destruction. The
O'Brien plant will be rebuilt.

they appear to pin their hopes on the
transfer of active operations to the ter
ritory near the Bulgarian frontier.
Within three weeks, they assert, east
ern Macedonia will be in full revolt,
and then the Bulgarian government
will be forced to take action.
