Several years ago Senator Clark had
a great deal Of trouble With a Ere in
the United Verde mine. A great deal
Of money was spent 10 trying to put
the fire out, but without success. The
ore itself was burning, il being a sui
phide ore, the sulphur furnishing
plenty Of fuel. Finally great walls
we're built, aud the FIRE was confined
by them to a portion Of the mine. The
heavy rains Of this winter have soaked
the ground, and It is supposed that
the water finally reached the burning
ore Ia the Verde. The fire and the
water made steam, aud the steam
pressure got 50 strong that an explos-
ion occurred Sunday. Three men
we're killed by the explosion, aud dive
we're Injured. The explosion came
just as the men we're going off shift,
add before the new shift came on, or
the loss OF life would have been much
larger. 1t has not yet been possible
TO ascertain how much damage has

able that it has been great. The effect
OF the explosion was felt at the sur
face, a body OF ground dropping some
five feet, taking with IL a portion Of
the railroad track. The smelter is
owe a portion of the mine, and there
is danger Of its going down. Wise
men who have investigated the fire in
the Verde say that If Senator Clark
could afford the time, an hundred
years or so, to let the mine burn out,
he would have the copper 10 a concen.
trated form, aud would save a large
amount Of money in putting it on the
market. When it comes TO figuring
on centuries, the senator is short Of
time.

II. E. Hoffman, after stopping a few
days in town, left for his home 10 Vic.
tor, Colorado. When Mr.. Hoffman
was here carly in the winter he was
much interested in the scrap over the
g~overnorship OF Colorado. He was an
earnest advocate OF Governor Peabody,
and told the LIBERAL that Peabody
certainly was elected, and should be
seated. He said there had been an
enormous number Of fraudulent bal
lots cast for Adams. Between his two
visits Adams hal been ousted, Pea.
body seated, he had resigned, and Nc
Donald, the lieutenant governor, cleo
ted by the republicans, been installed
as governor. Mr.. Hoffman was asked
how this strange proceeding could be
accounted for. He said the investi-
CATION showed that Adamas had re-
ceived so many fraudulent votes that
he had not been honestly elected. 1t
also showed that the corporations
owning the street railways and gas
plants 10 Denver had secured the cast
ing Of a large number Of fraudulent
votes for Peabody, aud he had not
been honestly elected. The people Of
Colorado wanted a governor about
whose title there was no faint of fraud.
There was nc suspicion of anything
crooked about McDonald's election,
and so he was made governor in a
legal way. Mr.. Hoffman says he will
make a good governor, and he will
have no more sympathy with rioters
than did Governor Peabody.

When the Bedrock p~ostoflce was on

not uncommon for the river to be so

the snow hub deep before he got to
Gold Hill.

The water got higher than 1t did 10

An important mining deal was made
Monday between Blackburn s. Camp
bell, Of this place, and d. Q. Kaseman,
OF Shamokin, Pennsylvania. Mr.. Kase-
man, representing himself and other
capitalists Of his state, took a bond
and lease on the Nellie BLY, mine, south
Of town. Blackburn s. Campbell have
been working this property for some
years, and have shipped considerable
high grade ore from it, aud have left a
great deal more in the mine than they
have shipped. Their workings are
now at water level, and it would be
necessary to put 10 a pump. Mr..
Kaseman also took a bond and lease
on the Robert e. Lee which adjOins
the Nellie BLY,. Mr.. Kaseman and his
associates, with Professor Fayette A.
Jones, the we'll known mining engin-
eer and metalurgist, have spent con.
siderable time 10 examining the prop.

to proceed at once to incorporate
a company to be known as the Pyra-

over these properties. Immediately
after closing the deal Mr.. Kaseman
left for the east, but before he left he
made arrangements for commencing
work on the Nellie BLY,, and develop

HEATING TOWNS NEW FIELD
Illinois Communities That Are FUR
nished with Steam and
Hot Water.

Young men Of an engineering and me-
ehanieal turn of mind are finding a
promising business in establishing
heating plants IN the larger country
towns. Most Of these plants, reports the
Chicago Tribune, are conducted IN com
neetion with the electric light plants.
the exhaust steam of the latter being
utilized for heating water for a hot
water service.
Paxton, an Illinois town, is one OF
the examples of what may be done in
this line. 1t has a hot water service. and
is now being served to IS patrons, who
claim that the experiment. has proved
satisfactory. The exhaust steam of the
electric plant which is owned by the
heating company is utilized in heating
the water. A charge, of 20 cents per
square foot Of radiation a year is made.
and at this rate it is claimed a saving IS
had over other kinds of heat.
Other Illinois towns that have tried
this service are Waukegan, Evanston
and Bloomington At Bloomington
there is both steam and a hot water
service
