New York. April 5.--Richard Cree
gan. worker In the mid-river end Of
the Brooklyn section OF the East river
tunnel. was blown out OF the tunnel
up through 15 feet OF mud and 35 feet
OF water. great height into the air
yesterday morning shortly after 8. He
not only lived through the accident
which is without precedent in the an
mails OF tunnel building. but escaped
without serious injury. He said yes
terday at his home In Jersey City
where he went under protest, that az
soon as the neighbors QUIT making a
hero OF him. which he guessed would
be about a day. he would return to
work at his old station.
creegan and three companions were
working In the forward compartment
OF the tunnel which Is protected by a
steel shield. As support to the bed
OF the river, compressed air is forced
into the tunnel, which under ordinary
circumstances prevents constant and
often dangerous caving in. The theory
Offensive, Says Lloyd George, Ad-
pressure was increased TO the point
where. instead OF merely supporting
the muddy bed OF the river. It became
too great for II and forced an outlet to
the surface. The intention Of the en-
gineers is to equalize this air pressure
and the pressure Of the river bed.
When this result Is attained exactly
there is no possibility of a cave-in. The
bed OF the East river at this point is
very light and muddy, and thus not
calculated TO stand great pressure.
Creegan and the others, John Hayes,
John Priley and John Egan, were busy
digging and passing the dirt to the
rear compartment, where is men We're
at work on the walls. when there was
an explosion. A jagged opening APP
peared In the mud and the water began
TO trlckle through and the outrushing
air kept the roof from caving in at
once. Creegan without hesitation
picked up two bags OF straw which are
kept lhndy for emergency As he
stepped in front Of the hole, he was
drawn into It, He opened his mouth to
shout to the men below and found It
filled with mud before he realized
where he was, The air pressure thrust
him on upward. Then he found him
self In water and almost instantly In
the air. He did not lose his presence
of mind, when. after falling with the
geyser life spout Of water, he found
himself on the surface of the river. He
kept himself aHoat until rescued by a
boat that had been put up from the
foot OF Joralemon street, Brooklyn.

Brighton during the past 20 years has
never been less than 1000.
The election turned almost alto

the news of Villiers' victory was made
known in the meeting OF the house OF
commons tonight the liberals greeted
It with shouts Of joy.
"villiers is in," was the cry. which
was received with great cheering. Pre-
mier Falfour who was just entering
the house, was greeted with shouts of
Resign. Resign!"
Colonial Secretary Lyttleton, who
had been speaking when the interrupt

the member Of the administration at
Brighton. He complained that on re-

be raised. the premier deliberately left
the house. The premier's discourtesy
to the house, he said, was becoming
absolutely offensive.
Several members spoke supporting
Lloyd George, and declaring that the
government ought to resign. Winston
Churchill said 1t looked like the be-
ginning of the end, and that it was
retribution for shams and shuffies and
for the manner in which the premier
had treated parliament.

Warren Is Being Held Tight for s11.5o. Dem Takes Decided Slump, and Is Quoted at S13.25.
(By Frank J. Graf.)

BlSDee, NOV. l.
 Buyers were so scarce today that you could not sell anything for half price; there was no demand whatever, but on the other hand, if you wanted stocks you would have to bid up for them. As I have stated before, we can not expect to see much of mar ket till matters are more settled in the money world, and as long as we have tight money you need not expect to see high prices in Bisbee stocks. There has been considerable demand for Warren, but none comes out un- der $11.50. Denn slumped off consid- erably, some being offered at $13.25 late this evening with no bidders. Junction was the same way-you could xot sell it-that was all there was to it There is no demand at the pres ent time for anything. Black Noun tain seems to be the only stock that is being sough after. and from all indi- cations we would not be surprised to see this stock bring $10 for full paid stock within the next thirty days. Bids have been made as high as S950, but fail to locate any.

THE ZUNI SALT DEPOSIT. NEW
 MEXICO.

Forty miles south of the pueblo of Zuni, in the west-central portion of New Mexico. there is a deposit of salt which is not only of great geologic interest, but promises to prove of con- siderable economic importance. It is briefly described by Mir. N. H. Darton In the eYar-Book of the United States Geological Survey, which is entitled "Contributions to Economic Geology. 1904"
 The locality is S0 miles south of Gal lup. on the main line of the Santa Fe Railroad. and about the same distance west of Magdalena. on a branch of the same railroad system. This deposit has been a source of supply for the h. uians and Mexicans for several cent1- ries, and of late the salt is hauled to ranches Tn a wide surrounding dis trlct. The present output averages only approximately 1000 tons a year. valued at about s2.50 a ton. A small colony of Mexicans at the locality col lect the salt in a very crude manner. Ordinarily, persons desiring a supply go to the place and help themselves.
 The deposits occur in a lake. which occupies a portion of the bottom of a deep impression in a plain of creace- ous sandstone. This depression is about mile in diameter, and has walls of sandstone. in part capped by lava. ayeraging about 150 feet in height. The lake is about 4.0OO feet long, east and west, and about 3.OOC feet wide. and is apparently shallow The water contains about 26 per cent Of salt. mostly chloride of sodium. The region is arid and the evaporation causes the specialization of the salt especially in the shallow waters.
 large amount of salt could be ob tained by properly conducted solal evaporation of the lake water. By washing the salt with a small amount of the lake water the more soluble for eign salts are removed and aImost pure chloride of sodium remains.
