Those Wounded ROck-Slide
Kills Nine in Virginia.

Roanoke, Va, May s. - Nine men
were killed and five others injured,
three of them fatally, by a slide of
rock in the east end of tunnel No. 2,
at Eggleston Springs, Giles county, on
the Norfolk and Western railroad. Rail
road contractors We're engaged in dou-
BILE tracking the two tunnels at the
point named, and when the tunneling
force had removed the earth and
stone for the railroad tracks at the
point where the calamity occurred a
huge slide Of solid stone gave way On
the mountain side, and came down at
an angle of about 40 degrees, strik-
ing the gang Of Iaborers at work fair
ly, and crushing the life Of nine men.
Cause of the Accident.
This strata Of solid rock was con-
nected only by clay seams, and when
the foundation was removed the
strata, some fifty feet long, fell catch
ing the men il; death trap. One man
was in a niche of the tunnel way, and
was only grazGd on the face and head,
escaping with slight injuries. He was
removed without great difficulty. A
second man, who stood on the outer
edge of the slide, was only slightly
hurt, but three others were more I'M
fortunate, and were injured so badly
that it is feared they will die. The
bodies of the other nine men, some of
whom are white, are still under the
mountain slide.
Victims Are Both White and Colored.
It has been impossible thus far to
secure the ;lames of the unfortunate
victims. They are known only to the
contractors, and they can Judge only
by the missing members Of the force.

A Visit to a Paper Mill.

Meesrs. j. 2. Suberbielle and
PR. Burke visited Orange, Texas,
renently and while there went to
see the new paper mill which has
just started to work They were
very much impressed with all that
they saw.
Mr.. Suberbielle brought back
several samples of wrapping paper
which he saw IN the process OF
making These were of plail
brown, pink and green Ill color
The paper was pleasing in appear
ance and seemed to be of a very
good quality.
The mill uses pine shavings fol
the manufacture of its paper pulp
The manager stated to the gentle
men that cypress and gum would
make a far better article Of paper
and at considerable less cost. The
Orange mill represents an invest
ment of 100000.
There was day, in the past
when the cotton seed was an ex
pense to the ginner and was
thrown away in large quantities
Later it vas found to be fit fO1
fuel under the ginhoIse boilers.
Still later the seed was marketed
for oil and meal it would yield.
Further manipulating brought re-
fined oil, fertilizers, stock feed,
potash, soap, etc. out Of the seed,
till today the seed is worth more
money than the staple it originally
bore when delivered to the gin.
The same seems to be true of the
cypress sawdust that is today in
its fuel stage.
If we understand the PROPOSE
ton Alright, the mill that is today
burning it's sawdust is getting it's
steam at an expense of s. per
cord for wood. That is, the bulk
of saw dust, that would represent
a cord of wood, is worth to the
paper mill the sum of s. as raw
material from which to make
paper. The paper mill can make
a good margin Of profit on it's out
put paying this price for the saw
dust. Does it not look like a pro
fligate waste to longer send such
values to the furnace, when cheap
er fuel is available!
We hope the day is not far dis,
tant when the great mills Of this
place will cease to burn their saw
dust.
