Hanna, Wyo., July 4.-The fire
in the Union Pacific mine is now
confined to small space and has
been shut off. It is expected that
by Monday or Tuesday the bodies
of the 236 victims will be reached.
The interior is terribly wrecked and
the work of clearing up is very
slow. 1t is possible that the lower
workings may be sealed up and
thus become tombs of the unfor-
tunate miners.
The coal company is supplying
the families of all victims with
food. Later, however, financial as
sissance will be needed by many
women with families of small chill
dren. Without seeking to detract
in the slightest degree from the he
foic actions of William Christian,
the colored miner, who assisted in
saving many lives after the explo-
sion, the people here agree that the
pre-eminent hero of the day of the
disaster was Frank Collins, an ex-
pert English miner. He was one
of the first men to enter the mine
after the explosion and he carried
out II men before he was half over
come by the afterdamp.

Grants Pass, Or, July 3.-Dave
Webb, a rancher who resides on
Elk Creek, a few miles from this
city, while plowing few days ago,
unearthed an old rusty can contain
ing 500 in money. Later, one of
his children, while scratching in
the dirt at the spot where the can
was found, uncovered a $40 gold
piece.
The ground where the money
was found had meyer been plowed
before, and cabin formerly stood
there. The can was found where
the chimney of the cabin formerly
stood and was evidently buried
there by the occupant of the cabin.
One of the coins in the can bore the
date of 1880, SO the money could
not have been buried earlier than
that date.
