BRIDGE coLLAPsEs
Structure Undermined by Flood Falls
Into River at Los Angeles
Two lives Lost.

Los Angeles, CAL, March 1.-THE
Seventh street bridge over Los Angeles
river fell Monday, carrying with it in
to the flood-swelled river ~ to Is per-
sons, two of whom are believed to
have been drowned. Five persons were
injured. The high water in the river
had attracted number of sightseers
to the bridge. The buttresses of the
bridge had been weakened by the flood
and, when a sudden swelling of the
waters came, the supports were carried
away and the bridge collapsed. Flood
conditions in Los Angeles and vicinity
are the worst known in many years.
Along the coast various other towns
have suffered. At Santa Monica two
piers we're destroyed, and the damage
along the shore there is estimated at
$1,000 At Long Beach the damage
to the wharf and to small boats is es-
timated at $4,000.

Mining in the Nome country has
been vigorously prosecuted since the
great strike on Anvil Creek in the fall
of 1898. The discovery of gold in the
beach sands at Nome the following
year furnished an opportunity that
season for 500 men to make stake
of sums probably averaging $4,000 to
the man. The total gold product of
Seward peninsula in six years is $27,-
OOO, 600. It is more accurate to say
that this is the product Of six sea-
sons, as the entire output Of the win
ter diggings is not more than 3d.

to the recent discovery that an orlin-
airy healthy tree may be successfully
pressed into service, in place Of q
tower with it's antennae of wires, for
the purpose of transmitting messages

made by Maj. Squire, of the United

AWFUL HORROR RESULTS FROM
BURNING OF A TENEMENT IN :
NEW YORK CITY.
Inmates Roasted Alive, Nineteen Per-
sons Meeting This Terrible Fate
Forty or More Injured-victims
Were Caught Like Rats in Trap.

new YORK, M0rcn l0.-NlleleeQ per-
sons dead, two score injured, some SO
seriously that they may die, and nearly
200 persons temporarily homeless, is in
brief the story of New Yorks latest fire
horror. Following is partial list of
the dead: Rachel Solomon, Is years;
Jacob Solomon, 16; Isaac Solomon, 49,;
Jessie Cohen, Is; Rose Wiener. 23;
Sander Wiener, 4; Ida Muskowitz, TO-;
Harry Kaufman, 10; Rose Miller, a;
Norris Miller, S months old; Gershon
Fuchs, 80; Sarah Kline, 60; Bella Sled
Ter, 80: Harry Siedler, II. Nearly oil
the bodies taken from the building were
so badly burned as to be almost unrec-
equitable. i.
The victims of Tuesdays disaster
were typical East side people, the scene
typical East side tenement, and the
scenes attending it were in many ways
peculiar to that cosmopolitan quarter.
To the apparently reckless displays of
heroism shown by firemen, policemen
and volunteer rescuers alone is due the
fact that the list of dead is not greater.
Two hundred persons herded in the
big five-story double-decker tenement
house were sleeping early Tuesday,
when flames from an overturned or ex-
ploding kerosene lamp in the basement
spread through the structure, and
wrapped the entire building in flames
almost before an alarm had been sound
ed. Even when the sleepers awoke at
ho HrCf oil CT lott h,,%
hardly more than moment was neces-
:sary to show them that their troubles
had scarcely begun. The long narrow
iron escapes which ran down the build
ing on each of its exposed sides had
been made receptacles for rubbish of all
descriptions, and in many cases they
were little better than useless.
1t was found, also. that every fire es-
cape platform on the building had in it
blind" or square piece of board which
fits into the opening through which the
ladder passes in the grated floor. The
result. of these INSTRUCTED escapes was
evident when it was found that nearly
all of the dead belonged on the top floor
of the building, and were roasted before
they were able to reach the ground. An
other case of negligence which was re-
sponsible for the loss of some lives was
an immovable skylight at the head Of a
ladder leading to the roof. Battened
securely and partially covered by ice,
this skylight resisted all efforts to force
it, and pile of bodies of the dead lay
under it when the horror was over.

One of the most extraordinary acct.
dents ever reported on the Unicl Pa
cific railroad occurred recently near
Cheyenne, Wyo. The engine attached
to the Overland Limited jumped the
tracks and ran along the ties for al
most mile, owing to the momentum
of the train, which was going down
grade at a terrific rate. At the foot
of the hill the engine leaped back on
to the track without damage to the
locomotive or the train.

SEEDING IN PROGRESS
IN WESTERN CANADA.
Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
Of Settlers.

The splendid yields of wheat, oats
and barley produced by the farmers
Of Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States.
As result the inquiries made of the
Agents of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad cona-
panies are putting on increased carry
ing capacity to meet the demand made
upon them for carrying passengers
and freight. Everything points to a
most prosperous year. There is room
COR hundreds Of thousands additional
settlers, much new land having been
opened up for settlement this year.

through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West

Is surprising how few there are who
