Balfour Cabinet Resigns.

Londcn.-A brief official announce
ment was made Monday that the Cab
met had resigned. that the King had
accepted the designations of his min
listers, and that Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman had been sent for.
1t would now appear that the entire
program has been cut and dried for
some time, and 1t is sven probable that
the Liberal leader has already com
pleted his Cabinet, thoagh this, like
everything else in connection with
British officialdom, must be left to sur
mise.
1t may be stated as certain that Lord
Rosebery will be entirely ignored In
the makeup of the Cabinet and that
John Morley viii be one of the chief
advisers of Sir Henry in drawing up
the list of his official family. which will
be presented to his majesty.
Mr. Morley himself is considered
likely to go to the Indian Office, and 1t
is probable that Herbert Henry As
quith will be chancellor of the ex-
chequer.

PHILIPPINE NEEDS.
Bureau Recommends Eventual Free
Trade With the United States.

Washington.-Colo Clarence r.
Edwards, chief of the bureau of insular
affairs, in his annual report to the sec
retary OF war, states that the three
most important needs of the Philip
pine islands to-day are market, the
opportunity for farmers to borrow
money at reasonable rates of interest
and adequate transportation facilities.
Provision for the latter has been made
by Congress-.
Colonel Edwards says the recon-
mendation upon which the Curtis bill
was based should be presented to the
coming Congress with the following
additional recommendations:
THAT after the expiration of the ten
years period from the date Of the
ratification of the treaty of Paris,
which admitted Spanlsh ships and mer
chandise to the ports of the Philippine
islands under the same conditions as
ships and merchandise of the Uniteo
States, there be free trade both ways
between the United States and the
Philippines OF all articles the growth
and product OF either of these coun-
tries.
''That the application of the coast
wise laws of the United States and the
Philippine islands be postponed until
April II, 1909, from which date this
trade shall be carried in American or
Philippine bottoms"
Other recommendations are, to in
crease the size OF homestead entries,
to remove the limit il. regard to num-
Der of mining claims, to reduce either
size or amount of silver in coins and to
give the Philippine government power
TO legislate for naturalization as to cit
izenship in the islands.
The aggregate of revenues from the
date of American occupation to June
80, last, was ss273s,10S. and the ex-
penditures for that period were $77.-
710,73s.
1t Is stated that for the first time
during the American occupation there
Is a considerable preponderance of ex-
ports over imports, amounting approx
imately to $l.500,0o0.
American ships carry about ten per
cent. of the exports and imports

'WYOMING'S DEAD
AWFUL EXPLOSION IN DIAMOND
VILE COAL NINE.
NINETEEN MINERS KILLED

Diamondville. Wyo.-An explosion
Diamondyiile Coal and Coke Company
at 1880 o'clock Friday night resulted
in the death of nineteen miners, consti-
tuting the entire night force of the
mine.
The explosion was precipitated by
blown out" shot. which is blast
which blows burning powder out OF the
hole in which the powder lis placed.
much in the manner in which burning
powder is blown from the muzzle of
gun. The flash of this shot ignited
coal dust hanging in the air, the flame
spreading through the dust to the re-
hottest quarters of the lower levels OF
the mine with such rapidity that the at
mosphere was disturbed as violently
as though by tremendous explosion
OF powder.
The explosion occurred about 1000
feet down the main slope of the mine.
all of the night shift being employed
at that point in knocking down coal
for removal by the day shift. Every
one of the men undoubtedly was
killed instantly. as the force of the ex-
plosion was so terrific that the entire
lower workings of the mine were
wrecked
A large body of coal torn from the
walls and roof of the slope entirely
blocked the road to the lower levels.
making the work of rescuing the bodies
of the victims very difficult.
The body of Robert Marshall was
blown MP the slope to point above
where the cave-in occurred and was
the first found by the rescue parties
who entered the mine soon after the
explosion took place. II lay amid n
pile OF wreckage and was badly disiig-
ured.
Fridays explosion was the second
in the history of Diamondfield No. j.
On February &c. 1901. an explosion in
the mine killed thirty.two miners and
set the mine on fire, much difficulty be-
ing experienced in extinguishing the
lanes. Following the explosion the
mine was equipped with brick brattices
instead of wooden brattices, and other
precautions against repetition of the
accident We're taken. The last previous
mine explosion of Importance in
Wyoming occurred at Hanna, June 80.

HARDWOOD OPENING UP WE'LL.
Property Near the Glencoe, at Park
Observation-Disclosures RESIGNS.

Park City March William D.
Harwood, Superintendent of the Har-
wood Mining company, now operating
its property near the Glencoe. is in
town today and reports that the COM
Pany has begun an active campaign for
the summer and will continue work
until they can tell what there is in
their property The Harwood is
good property adjoining as it does. the
Glencoe, from which there has been
taken quantity Of good ore and which
promises again to be among the ship
pers as soon as the present openfng-up
operations are completed.
The Harwood has a shaft over 100
feet deep and from the bottom of this
they are drifting on the ledge which
carries good values in gold, silver and
lead. According to Mr.. Harwood. the
drift cut a small body of water, but it
is so small that the seepage in the
stump of the shaft keeps the property
ory enough TO continue work right
along.
Since the opening of the Glencoe
property again there seems to be a
revival of interest in that country and
several properties which have been idle
for a lonS time have again resumed
operations. The coming summer will
likely prove d busy one in that local
ity.

The picture was taken by Manager
Henry NJ CrOwther. of the COntinen-
tal-Alta, and gives an idea Of the diff
cultieS that have had to be contended
with in stringing the great carrying
cables over the five miles of distance
between the cOmpany's mines, near the
head of the canyon, and the milling
plant at Tanners flat, below.
The picture shows a tower OF the
tramWay and two OF the Columbus
company's power line poles just acraoss
the canyon from the Columbus mill.
The poles, which are each thirty feet
high, are shown TO be buried in snow
to d depth Of sixteen feet. There has
been no slide at this point. the snow
having fallen and drifted to the depth
Indicated during the storm
Through the snow approaching the
tower Of the tramWay, is seen the
great trenches which had to be SHOW
eled out before the men stringing the
cable could get at 1t. At this point
the Continental company carried the
wires of the power line down the poles
and buried them underground in order
that there would be no danger in
stringing the cables and operating the
tram. The wisdom of this move rests
in the fact that the power lines are
charged with $500 volts of electricity
and their contact with the tram cables
would result disastrously. The tram
way is now nearly completed and it
will not be many days till it is placed
in motion, while the handling Of ore
and supplies over it will be in full
swing during the month.
