SEND TROOPS TO AWE UTES
MORE CAVALRY SENT FROM FORT
ROBINSON NEB.
Hope Prevails That Display of Mill
tary Force May Tend to overawe
RecaIcitrant Indians.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 29.-The de-
parture from Fort Robinson, Neb,
Sunday of four troops of the Tenth
cavalry makes sixteen troops of cav
al, a total of 765 officers and men en-
route to the scene of the depreda-
lions of the Ute Indians, now sup
posed to be in camp on Powder river
in Wyoming.
Four troops of the Tenth, under
command of Major Grierson are now
in Wyoming near the Indian camp;
six troops of the Sixth cavalry, 275
strong, from Fort Meade. South Da-
kota, and two troops of the same
regiment from Fort Keogh, 80 strong,
under command of Colonel Alexander
Rodgers, are en- route for that point,
marching overland, Colonel Jacob A.
Augur went with the detachment
which left Fort Robinson and, as
senior officer will be in command of
the entire expedition. No move will
probably be made until all the forces
are joined.
ut is hoped by the display of a
strong force to overawe the Indians
and prevent fight said Major c..
A. Hoyes, military commander of the
department of the Missouri. "They
are, however, well armed and very
sullen and it is hard to say what will
happen. There are about $50 in the
party, including women and children,
but do not think there are over $50
fighting men among them"

FIVE BUILDINGS
BLOWN TO PIECES
EXPLOSION OF NATURAL GAS AT
coFFEYvILLE, KAN.
TWO PERSONS ARE KILLED
Three-year-oId Boy Is Supposed to Be
Buried Beneath the Ruins, Sew
eral Others Being Serious
ly injured.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 29.-Two persons
were killed, one is missing, four were
seriously injured and 20 more were
more or less injured in terrific ex-
plOsion of natural gas, which COM
pletely demolished five twO-stOry brick
business houses at Coffeyville, Kan,
at noon Sunday The dead:
Dead and Missing.
Jess Ross, negro.
Mrs. J. e. Mcdaniel.
The missing:
Young son of c. J. Clossen, grocer.
The seriously injured:
G. J. Chosen, a grocer.
Cotton Ray, a cabman.
Mrs. Pearl Keller.
Three-year-Old son of Mrs. Keller.
Caused by Leaking Main.
1t is supposed that the gas escaped
from a leaking main somewhere in the
block, and that after a sufficient guam
tity had accumulated it became ig-
nited, causing the explosion. The
buildings were in row on East
Eighth street and were occupied by a
real estate office, three stores and a
restaurant The second floors of all
the buildings were occupied by room
ing houses.
Two Die at Hospital.
Neither Ross nor Mrs. Mcdaniel was
killed outright by the explosion, but
both were frightfully injured and died
shortly afterwards alta hospital.
Brick and glass struck the negro
cabman. and Mrs Mcdaniel was
crushed by falling debris.
The entire block of five buildings
was leveled to the ground, and only
broken bricks, scattered lumber and
twisted iron remain. The buildings
and stocks in them are a total loss,
as none of them was insured against
explosion.
Fire Follows Explosion.
A fire broke out Immediately after
the explosion, but the flames were
quickly extinguished and little dam
age was done from that source.
Several persons we're buried in the
debris. but Mrs. Mcdaniel was the
only one fatally hurt. The others who
were rescued were only slightly in
jured.
One little girl, daughter of S. d.
Frazier of the Kansas Land company,
was under the timber and brick for ~
minutes, but was taken out unlnJured.
Search for Missing Boy.
Search of the ruins is still being
made in the hope of finding the little
Chosen boy, who was in the grocery
store with his father when the explo-
sion took place and who has not been
heard of since. 1t is believed he is
dead and the body will be found in the
ruins.
The explosion was heard FIVE miles
away.

TAKE SIX BODIES FROM LUTIN
Victims of French Submarine Acct
dent Appear to Have Died Instantly.

Bizerta, Tunis, Oct. 29.-Six bodies
of the crew of the French submarine
boat Lutin were removed from the
vessel Sunday.
The Lutin sank off this port on Oc-
tober 16 with IA men and two officers
on board. She was commanded by
Lieut.. Fepoux. The bodies of Liuet.
FeCoux and four men were found
clustered amidships, six bodies were
found in the stern, and the remainder
in the bow All were in horrible
condition, owing to the action of
acids.
The only means of Identification
was by means of objects found on the
corpses. Most of the men were bare
footed The indications are that they
met their death instantly.
The opinion prevails that the Lutin
tried to come to the surface too rap
idly and that her stern consequently
struck on the bottom. This caused
rivets to start and plates to burst.
Six leaks were found in the hull

way in sinking without the installation
of machinery.
At the head of the canyon is the
Blackfoot mine, owned by Byron Col
Inns and Owen McNeely. This mine
has been opened by tunnel and shaft
to a depth of several hundred feet and
has been one of the good producers of
that section. The vein is small in
places, but as it descends the hill it
increases in width. The pay streak
ranges from six to twenty-four inches
in width. Values are carried in gold,
silver and copper, the pay ore running
as high as $50 ounces silver, three
ounces gold and about fifteen per cent
copper. The lower drift on the mine
is destined to cut the rich ore streak
at a point about 100 feet below the old
works.
In and around Todd Basin are many
good ore bearing veins that under
proper conditions could be made to
pay handsomely, but at present these
veins are lying idle. The field for the
prospector in that section is good
one.

Millions at Stake

Why all this talk about Castro and
the Asphalt trust? Why did the pres
ident send Judge Calhoun to Venez-
uela to go over the whole case. Here
is an insignificant South American re-
public whose president seems to stir
up both Europe and the United States.
The country has little or no commerce,
no industries, no rich gold and silver
mines why then such an ado about it
all?
The reason is-asphalt. Venezuela
has enough bitumen to pave all the
streets of the United States with the
most perfect covering which has yet
been devised. Bermudez Lake" the
home of all the cont 4ntiOn, is in the
midst of a tropical jungle, but its
thousands of acres of oozing asphalt
constitute one of the most valuable
pieces of property in the world. As
phalt is to be obtained in great guam
titles in Trinidad, and there are small
er beds of it in California, Texas and
elsewhere, but this Venezuela tract,
by common consent, has the finest
grade of asphalt for paving which has
vet been discovered.
Some idea of what this deposit means
may be gathered from the growth of
asphalt paving. Twenty-Five years ago,
about twelve miles, or less than one
fifth of one per cent of the paved
streets of the cities of the United
States were paved with asphalt. To
day this luxurious pavement is spread
over twenty-five hundred miles of
streets in the United States, embrac-
ing an area approximating 1900, 900
square yards. This represents an or
iginal investment of 100000, COOS, and
including the cost of repairs and re-
surfacing, total outlay of not less
than $50, OOO,OOOS
No wonder, then, that the possession
of VeneZnela's great source of supply
is considered a rich prize. The Ber-
mudez asphalt deposit is an immense
morass of pitch covered here and there
by patches of vegetation. AS fast as
the pitch or asphalt is dug out a new
supply Oozes up from below. From
the '1ake," lying just eighteen miles
from the mouth of the San Juan river
the asphalt is carried by a private
railroad six miles to the head of navi-
CATION on the river. Here great de-
posits of asphalt are formed as the cars
arrive from the lake. Afterwards the
asphalt is transferred from these tenn
porary deposits to steamers, especial
ly constructed to transport it to this
country.-Phenix Republican.

The Shattuek.Arizona Company.

The Shattuck-Arizona Copper COM
pany at its annual meeting in st. Paul
took the necessary action to pay for
property at Bisbee and take up the
option. says the Duluth Tribune. This
means the payment of /, 100,OO0S. The
claims are six in number, and the pub
lie is familiar with the fact that they
Institute one of the greatest copper
mines in Arizona.
The Shattuck is great, not alone
from the extent of their ore bodies,
but their average richness. The prin-
cipal owners of the six claims were L..
c. Shattuck and Martin Costello of
Bisbee, and others interested in the
fee were II. R. Haninger, Emil Marks
and the Owen and Sweet estates.
The mine will become a regular pro-
ducer as soon as the work of enlarging
the shaft and building the aerial tram
way are completed, which will be
about midsummer. The record of the
.Shattuck has been meteoric, and the
greater interest attaches to it because
of its great assurances. The Shattucl-
Arizona is a close corporation, and the
members have themselves put up all
