Millions Of dollars spent in advertis,

HUGE MINE IN FLAMES.
Mountain of Coal in Colorado Burning
and Man Il Helpless.

The town of Newcastle Colo, where
President Roosevelt left the railway
train to plunge into the wilderness. Is
celebrated as the location of subter-
ranean fire which is gradually consuming
q mountain of coai-one of the most val
liable deposits in the Rocky Mountains,
writes William E. Curtis in the Chicago
Record Herald
There are many burning mines in the
United States-coal banks that have
caught fire and cannot be extinguished
There used to be one within the city linn
its of Pittsburg, which had been burning
fer generation when | last heard about
it, and may be burning yet. The coal
originally caught fire from a gas explo-
sion and the operators were not able to
put it out. There are several burning
mines in the anthracite region. also.
Some of them are situated so that they
cannot be flooded and others are allowed
to burn because they are not worth
enough to justify the expense of putting
the fires out.
Near Marshall, Boulder county, Colo,
a 3OO-acre furnace has been burning since
the early COS and millions Of dollars
worth of coal has been consumed. Many
thousands have been expended in trying
to eXtinguish the flames during the last
forty years that they have ragged, with
out avail. All efforts have been unsuc
cessful and the owners have now aban-
dOned the property to burn itself out.
Up in the Bad Lands of North Dakota
in the Little Missouri valley several
seams of Ignite coal have been burning
fnr he
first white man went into that country
and there is no way to Guench the flames.
In the Bull Mountains, north of Billings,
Mont, is another big fire that has been
burning for thirty years or more. But
none of them is SO important as the
burning mountain at Newcastle, Cole.
You can see the fire on the hillside if
you pass that way on the Denver and
Rio Grande railroad. The porters of
the sleepers usually notify passengers on
night trains when they approach the
place.
''The coal goes into the hill, dipping at
an angle of forty-fve degrees" said e.
II. Parker, the coal expert of the geo.
logical survey, land the mining was done
by shaft which passed through several
seams. Five of them were of workable

He had been a suburban real estate
boomer for number of years, but having
been led to see the error of his ways he
proceeded to reform, after which he ac-
oepted a clerkship in a dry goods store.
But he couldn't quite forget his old
tricks.
The first day he was behind the coun-
ter lady came in to look at some dress
goods.
How much did you say there was in
this piece?" she asked, pointing to one
she had selected.

she protested. Il only need half that

calling. Il am Offering you a bargain,

Here he noticed the look of astonish-
ment on the iady's face, and it suddenly
occurred to him that he was not making
real estate deal. Then he apologized
and proceeded to make the sale accord
ing to the rules and regulations of the
Counter Jumpers Association. -

The Frugal Crow.

A correspondent sends to the Pioneer
(Allahabad) the following notes on the
fact that case has been reported of a
crows nest having been found which
was made out Of telegraph wire: ANY
thing resembling a twig is pressed into
service. In the days of old, before
glass-stoppered bottles came into use
for soda water, many nests were made
of the wires used to keep in the corks
of such bottles. A nest constructed
out of brandy bottle wires was once
taken in palm tree outside of Mad
ras. Another nest was found composed
of bits of tin stolen from the tin ba-
zaar in Madras. One pair of crows
constructed a nest out of gold and sill
yer spectacle frames purloined from
the factory Of Messrs. Lawrence &
Mayo, in Bombay. The materials for
this nest (of which the value was
400 rupees) were stolen by the willy
crows during the luncheon hour. 1t
was noticed that the spectacle frames
were disappearing from the factory in
q mysterious manner, but it was some
time before the thief was discov-
