ALEXANDRIA, VA, March f25.-Before
ending his visitsto this city this morning
Governor Montague had a conference
with several prominent citizens OF Alex
andra who are actively interested in his
candidacy for United States senator, and
Y 1t IS understood that the Governor feels
encouraged by the reports received from
the local field. AT the new Hotel Ram
mel, where he was stopping during his
brief stay here, he was visited by many
leading citizens, who gave him assurances
Of their hearty support.
The speech the Governor delivered last
night al the Odd-Fellows anniversary cell
ebration has been highly praised. While
the affair was altogether without political
feature, it has been remarked that he
spontaneous and enthusiastic applause he
received Is significant Of his growing pop
uarity in Alexandria. The Governor has
+ honored this city With his presence on
frequent occasions ii" the past two years.
and has come in more or less intimate
touch with a great many citizens.
iii 1t Is. however, recognized by his sup
rnrters in the present contest that the
4 lines arc unusually closely drawn in AL
cxandria, and that the city Is not likely
TO be carried either, way without a hard
fight. The close contest In Alexandria
5 nearly four years ago between the Gov
crnor and Representative Swanson IS re-
Z called as an Indication of the character
which the present canvass is likely to as
sumo, but 1t is confidently asserted and
generally accepted that the Governor is
much stronger in Alexandria to-day than
i he was then. The friends Of neither can
dldate arc idle. Having formally and
! openly entered I: the field in the orgapiza-
ton of the ANDREW j. Montague Politi-
y cal Club," The supporters OF the Govor-
q nor are inaugurating an active campaign.
The friends of Senator Martin have not
vet announced any organized movement,
and such announcement is hardly expect
cd. but no one at all familiar with local
conditions doubts that the most syste-s
matte and aggressive fight will be made
for the junior Virginia senator, Mi. c. c.

Big RABBIT RANCH
Third Largest in U. s. located at En-
campment Ten new Bunny Houses
Going Up.

An Encampment industry that
is assuming considerable impor-
lance without having attracted
much attention is B. F. Buffers
rabbit ranch,' which is devoted
to the raising of Belgian hares.
Mr.. Butler started the business
a year ago on a small scale to sup
ply the local market. but has in
creased the business until it now
eujoys the distinction of being
the largest concern of its kind in
the United States, the largest be-
ing located in New York, and the
second in size being in California.
Mr.. Butler has over three thous-
and hares in his pens Mt the pres
ent time and by the first of next
March he expects the number to
reach ten thousand. Four build
ings 2O-4O have Just been com
pleted for breeding purposes. and
ten more buildings of similar di-
mansions are in course of con-
struction, all of which will soon
be filled with long cared animals.
The stock is pure blood, "A large
number of the breeders being reg
istered stock valued at S20a piece.
The usual selling price of a young
hare when ready for market is -
cents.
Mr.. Butler expects to make
large shipments to city markets as
soon as the railroad reaches En-
campment. His nearest large
competitor is Kansas City and
that has a smaller breeding capac-
ity than the Encampment farm at
the present time Encampment

MINE EXPLOSION
No. ! Mine at ~Diamondville has Second
Disaster in FIVE Years-Nineteen
Men Killed.

DiamondvilIe, Wyo., Dec. q
An explosion which occurred late
last night in mine No. ! at this
place caused a heavy loss of life,
one telegram stating eighteen
men had been killed. Another
says from eighteen to twenty-five
were caught in the mine when the
explosion occurred.
Through phone communication
with the mine officers at Diamond
vile it is learned that eighteen
men, all who were in the mine.
We're killed. Nearly all of these
We're English miners, who came to
Wyoming direct from England.
At II o'clock five bodies had been
recovered. Had the full night
force been at work. the loss would
have been appalling, At the
mine it is said that a "blown"
shot vas the cause of the disaster
A small shift of eighteen men was
working four thousand feet down
in the mine. knocking down coal
to be taken out by the day shift.
Presumably the men were close
together in a bunch when a
blown shot of giant powder ex-
ploded. AT the main Office it is
said the workings are not mater
tally damaged and that the mine
will be shipping its usual output

JOHN BEAGLE DEAD

Word was received here last
week, by John and William Bea-
gle, that their father, John Bea-
gle, had died in Pendleton, Ore,
on the 18th of November. He
had been in failing health for
some time-in fact was quite fee
bic when he left here for that
place several years ago, and the
news of his death does not come
as so much of a surprise on that
account.
John Beagle came to Saratoga
from Snake river, in the summer
of 1878 and took up "A homestead
just east of town, the property
now being owned by j. b Ma
ghee. At hat time Mr.. Beagle
was a prosperous ranchman and
owned about 100 head of cattle
and a number of horses, He and
his family lived there for 20
years, and We're well known and
respected throughout the entire
valley. Adversely marked him
for its victim and he gradually
succumbed to the inroads of i'll
fortune until he lost everything
After the death of his wife, which
occurred at her fathers house in
Loveland, Colo, Mr.. Beagle went
TO PendIeton. where he had rela-
tives and where he spent the e
mainder of his days. He leaves
two sons and a daughter, John
r., William c., and Nellie Judd.
The boys still reside here, but
Mrs. Judd is at present a resident
of Denver. All who knew Mr.
Beagle will remember him as a
Just ana honorable man!

A TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SON

Immediately following the de-
parture of a certain young lady
from these parts there occurred
an eclipse of the son, partial in
some quarters, total in others.
The line of totally passed direct
~ over the B & o store and Prices
drug store; there it formed the
angle of an oblong square, taking
in the Sun composing room.
Other localities were also affected,
but no report has been received
from the outlying districts. This
eclipse was not foretold or antici-
pated by any of the astronomers
of the day and inasmuch as only
this immediate locality was affect
ed it is considered phenominaI.
and attributed to the spots on the
sons surface.

THE GREAT MINERAL BELT
Forging Ahead-Large Contracts Being
Made-More Ore Being Exposed Ev-
cry Day, AID Better Grades.

Battle Lake. Dec. 6.-The Bat
tie Lake copper belt, the jewel
spot and pride of Wyoming, is
proving itself worthy of the enor-
nous amount of money spent in
forcing the mountains of the ST
ezra Madre range. Money, com
men sense, and the sturdy miner,
with his heart of steel and hand
of perseverance, is causing Dame
Nature to smile and her great sell
tishness coaxing her to share with
him, her large reserves of copper,
silver and gold.
The boys are now assured that
the Platte valley is going to have
a railroad and that before many
moons, so they are getting busy.
Properties that have passed
that stage called prospects
and have large blocks of ore
opened up are now getting things
in shape to commence marketing
their product as soon as they can
load ore on the X. Il. cars. Then
the great harvest will begin-the
boys will wear the contented smile
of the successful operator.
The companies which seem to
head the list on heavy production
are the Doane- Rambler, ltmuy,
Copper Age, Copper Bar, Hercu-
les, Independence, Congo, North
western, Echo, Jack Pot, Anchor
ia and Pluto, all of which have
from 200 to 1900 feet of develop
ment work done, opening an i'm
mems territory charged with ore
of mill grade, yet will not stand
for a wagon haul of 10 miles.
Many owners of good prospects
have their property provisioned
and equipped for the winters
work, and some of them are going
to be rewarded for their efforts,
