TAMARACK MINE ON FIRE
Millions of Dollars in Damage May BE
Done-Two Shafts Sealed-Three
Men Die Horribly

Calumet, Mich, Jan. 70. - The
Tamarack Copper mine, the deepest in
the world, is on fire with three men
missing, and almost certain to have
met death in a horrible form half to
three-quarters of mile below the
earth's surface. Shaft No. 2, where the
fire was discovered, has been sealed at
the surface with heavy timbers tamped
with clay, and also shaft No. 8.
1t may become necessary to seal
shaft No. 5 also to smother the flames.
The mine contains several hundred mil
lion feet of timber, largely pine, and
unless the access of air was shut off by
Theoretically sealing all openings the
property would be damaged to the ex-
tent of many millions.

wonder if it is true that you are

it is 80, we Iowans in Biloxi, who
have been complaining because it is
cloudy about half the time, and
raining much more than we like,
had better mend our ways and be
glad that winter finds US in such a
mild climate.
We have such a habit of SILVER
ing when the winter winds howl
that it is hard to keep from thinking
that we are cold when the wind cap
ers around little when the roses
are blooming all about us.

with three days of cloudy weather,
then three fair days. Yesterday
was cloudy with rain in the after
noon and evening.
have been reading Penelope's
Progress, and was amused to see
how we'll her remarks about the
weather in Scotland would apply to
Biloxi. l quote Mrs. Wiggin; "The
Duke of Wellington said, When
fair in Scotland always carry an UNI
brella; when it rains please your
self +" The advise is good here too
but of course | forgot it until caught
away from home in the rain. We
see the point" too when she says
Il sometimes agree with Stevenson's
shivering statement, Life does not
seem to me to be an amusement
adapted to this climate But
while grumbling about the weather
we are taking long walks between
showers, and in the fair weather
greatly enjoy being out. Fiat home
the cold would, no doubt, forbid our
walking out at all.
Itried to believe that it was not
as cold as it seemed to me this morn
ing, but when I went to get my pint
of milk, which 1 had carefully
wrapped in a wet cloth and set it
out doors to keep it from souring,
I found the cloth frozen stiff as a
board and had to thaw it out by the
fire. There was ice too where the
water was still, and it has been quite
cold all day. l wonder what effect
it will have on the roses.
So many houses have out the sign
Furnished Rooms to Rent" that
am sure the people will be greatly
disappointed if the crop of tourists
should be light. Stove pipes stick
ing out through windows, and ad-

good many fine new houses going
up here too.

This is a queer place for city SO
large and SO old as it is The mid

she'll. Even right after rain it is
ine and dry, but off the business
streets the side walks are not good.
