BURNING OF The SLOCUM
SCENES ATTEND DESTRUCTION EXCURSION
STEAMER ON LONG ISLAND sOUND-TERROHs STRICKEN WO
MEN CHILDREN DROWNED BURNED SCORES ANr

HUNDREDS.

The full accounts of the disaster to
the steamer General SlOcum on Long
Island Sound last Wednesday by which
over a thousand persons, mostly Wo-
men and children, lost their lives show
that the disaster was one of unparalleled
ed horror. The mainland papers contain
long stories of the awful affair and the
descriptions of the scenes of death that
they give are narrowing beyond de-
scription.
The General Siocum had been charter
ed by the Sunday school of st. Marks
German Lutheran Church to carry the
excursionists to Locust Grove, one Of
the many resorts on Long Island Sound.
1t is variously estimated that there
were between 1900 and 250O persons on
board the Slocum when she left the
pier at Third street, East river. 1t Is
known that there were several hundred
children in arms, for whom fares are
not usually chargeI on these trips on
board.
At the extreme eastern end of Ran
dall's island the General SlOcum took
fire, and as the age of the vessel-she
was built in 1S91-had aided in the sea-
soning Of the wood with which she was
almost entirely built, she was soon
mass of flames.
The fire is said to have broken out in
a lunchroom on the forward deck
through the overturning of pot of
grease. The wind was high, and all
efforts to subdue the flames were futile.
At bath street there We're several
lumber yards and oil tanks, and as
Captain William Van Schaick, in COM
mand Of the General SlOcum, started to
turn his vessel toward the shore there
he was warned that it would set fire to
the lumber and OIL so he changed his
course for North Brother island, one of
the twin islands near the entrance to the
sound where the boat, partly burned,
was beached.
In the meantime the passengers had
become panic-stricken, and those who

OPERATIONS AT
MARSHALL LAKE
Some Rich Ore to Be Sent
Out Soon---Splendid
Developments.

DIR. Law has received letter from
Superintendent Sturdevant reporting
progress of development work on the
Marshall Lake properties in which he
is interested, says the Boise States
man. Mr.. Sturdevant writes that he
has force of dozen men employed.
He had started work week before
the date of the letter and wss driv-
ing three tunnels on as many lodges.
The face of each tunnel was in good
ore.
The lodges there are cut by deep
gulches and tunneling becomes the
natural method of development. AS
the hills are very steep, depth is
gained rapidly.
Mr.. Sturdevant further states he
will shortly send out shipment OF
high grade ore to Boise. After get
ting in there he shipped lot direct
ly to New York Some very high
grade ore is found, much of it carry
ing several dollars to the pound.
The shipment sent to New York was
about 200 pounds and is thought to
have been worth about SO, 600.
The development of the properties
in that district will be watched witt
u very great interest by all minlni
men. While the ledges have tn
4 reputation of being narrow, the worl
J done on the Law-HiH claim show
they are not small but open out t
, 10 or 12 feet in width. The yer
, rich ore occurs in stresks, but in on

showing that it is estimated cor
