FIVE DIE IN THE UNITED VERDE.
Terrible Explosion Blows Out Bulk
heads at 800 Foot Level.

Terrible Explosion Blows Out Bulk
heads at 800 Foot Level.
Prescott, Ariz., April 2.-As the
result of an explosion in the United
Verde mine at Jerome, Ariz., owned by
Senator Clark, five men are dead and
five others seriously, if not fatally, in
jure,-
The dead: T. W. Crofut, E. R. Ruff
fin, Pete Seder, A. J. Halladam, ]. M.
Roe.
The injured: N Nevonich, G, Gas
cha. j. Koscio, J. P. Roe, B. Caropa, J.
Wijovich, M. Sullivan.
The accident happened just as the
shifts were being changed and all the
men except IL had been raised to the
surface. They were waiting at the
station of the 300 foot level to be hoist
ed from the mine when a terrific ex-
plosion occurred, killing five instant
ly and injuring seven others. On &C
count of the recent heavy rains, sur
face water found its way to that por-
ton of the mine where fire has been
smouldering several years and steam
thus generated caused the explosion,
blowing out the bulkheads, erected to
keep the fire from spreading. The
men were suffocated by smoke and
heated steam.

PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Preparing for the Big eattIe-on to
Harbin

preparing IOF inc Dry 6oletS ~
Hardin.
The signs point to another clash be-
tween Japanese and Russians this
week unless the latter see fit to retire
toward Hardin. Field Marshal Oyama,
after a time of brief reorganization of
his main army during which small
bodies have been skirting the Russian
tanks, has evidently begun another ad-
vance of his entire force with wings
far extended. 1t will be for the Rus
slams to fight or fall back.
At several points north of Tie Pass
the Russians have thrown up heavy
Entertainments, and in the positions
most easily defended there will no
doubt be stubborn resistance. 1t is
hard to say whether a permanent
stand can be made, but there are slight
reasons for believing that such will
be the case. Although reinforcements
are reported to have been reaching
General Linevitch daily, he. is still nu-
merically inferior, and, unless better
generalship or stronger fighting quail
ltleS are SHOWN IMAM IN the past, II
would seem that there will be nothing
to do but sound the retreat again.
Oyama is operating to the west, and
there is always the fear that he will
cut the Russian communications. 1t
has not been given out by the Rus
SLAMS whether they hope to hold their
present ground, or intend to delay the
Japanese advance only in order to get
things in shape in Hardin, and pro-
vide for protecting the line of COM
munications from that city toward the
west. But their intentions heretofore
do not seem to have cut much figure,
and for some time to come their move
ments will, as in the past, probably be
determined by what Oyama succeeds
in doing.
