MINING NOTES.

The strike of the coal miners at
Lethbridge, Alberta, has caused so
much uneasiness among the citizens
that they have called upon the domin-
ion government to render assistance,
and the northwest mounted police has
been placed in control of the town and
martial law now practically obtains.
More than 500 men, members of the
union, are on strike, and there are still
about hundred at work under police

The New York I.erald of recent date
has column article headed Country
in Clutch of Mining Craze" and says
that eastern bankers are gravely con-
cerned as to the outcome. In speaking
of conditions, the Herald affirms the
New York business has grown from a
score of brokers selling stocks in
Broad street in 1905 to hundreds of
brokers selling thousands or shares
stocks daily. This boom in copper
and other mining stocks has extended
to Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
other eastern cities. A mining ex-
change has been formed in New York
to deal in the stocks of Goldfield, Ton
opah and other districts. The Herald
remarks that San Francisco has re-
gained some of it's old glory of the days
of 1879, and even the conservative
people of Baltimore are playing the
mining market.

It Is denied that corporal punishment
Is In violation of the constitution OF
the United States. The sponsor for the

years disappeared after one or twa

Welded . Broken Rail and saved
Trainload of Passengers.
When the S:23 limited pulled into
Wheatley, in this county, one evening,
it was discovered, says the LIE Sueur
correspondent Of the st. Paul Pioneer
Press, that one of the rear wheels on
the last coach was broken, piece hay
ing been split off from one side, so
that there was a slightly fiat place on
the wheel, and, as it was feared, the
broken wheel in pounding over the
track had broken rail. Only by mir
acle was the 8 :56 local saved from be-
ing wrecked.
Three miles south of Bentley the fiat
tened wheel had broken out a section
Of rail about seven feet long-broken
it out so badly that it was torn from
the spikes and lay across the rails,
where it was found five minutes before
the local was due by Willy Schultz, a
boy Of ii years, who lives on a farm
near by. The lad knew that the local
soon would be along and he was fright
ened. He put the piece of rail in place
and then started down the track to-
ward the approaching train, running as
fast as he could. He had not gone
twenty feet, however, when there came
binding flash Of lightning from a
dark cloud that covered the sky, and
he was struck down unconscious and
nearly bereft of life. 90
1t must have been ten minutes be-
fore he regained consciousness, for
when he did so he saw the train COM
ing toward him at great speed. He
staggered to his feet the remembrance
of the broken rail still in his mind,
and waved his hands, but the engine
did not stop, and, just as itawas about
to crush him, he stepped from the rails
and the train sped on.
But the engineer at the last moment
had seen the boy step. out of the en-
gine's way, and, throwing on the lever,
stopped the train after it had run sew
eral hundred feet beyond the break in
the rail.
WueH lHe engineer JuIupeu uoWH anu
came running back to see what the
trouble was, young Schultz told him
and showed him the place where the
rail had been broken but now it was
perfectly sound. The flash of light
ming that struck Schultz down spent
the main portion of its force on tha
track in the immediate locality where
the fracture was, and had evenly and
perfectly welded the broken rail in
place at both ends. The track was az
safe and solid as it was the day it was
laid.

Telluride, Col, March 1S.-Vincent
ST. John, alias J. w. Vincent, former
president of the Telluride Miners
union and at present head of the min
ers' union at Burke, Idaho, has arrived
to answer to the charge of murder
committed during the labor troubles
mere few years ago.
St. John made this statement: Il
am entirely innocent of this murder
charge. 1 never killed a human being
or assisted in such crime in any way.
am ready to stand trial on any
charge, believing that will be prompt
ly acquitted by any fair minded jury.
l do not want any delay in this case
and hope the authorities will expedite
matters as much as possible"
st. John was asked if he feared
lynching. Well" he answered, with
a shrug of his shoulder, "a person can
only die once. can't see any differ
ence in being strung up by mob and
being railroaded to the gallows on a
false charge. The end is death, any
way. But 1 have no fears, why should

Say Steve Adams Is Crazy.
The Salt Lake Tribune correspond
ent at Park City, Utah, says:
n StnvnnC
who has gained much notoriety of
late because of his connection with the
Steunenberg case, resided in Park City
last June and worked as miner at
the Daily West On June 10, while
the family of Arthur Hooper was in
Salt Lake City, Adams entered the
Hooper home and removed the furni-
ture He was arrested and lodged in
the city jail on the charge of house
breaking. 1t was thought at that time
that his mind was unbalanced, as the
furniture was removed in broad day
light and in the presence of the neigh
bors. For this reason the charge
against him was reduced to petit lar
ceny and he was fined $25, which he
paid and left town.
While in Jail Adams talked freely
of his life, and stated he had been in
Cripple Creek during the trouble there.
He told persons here, it is alleged.
that he was familiar with the inside
workings of the union, and was one
of the three men chosen to assassi-
nate the three judges of the supreme
court of Colorado, Governor Peabody
and Adjutant Bell He told of having
been in Cripple Creek and said it was
he who placed the loaded revolvers in
the Vindicator shaft that resulted in
the deaths of Mccormick and Beck.
A photograph taken of the man in
Idaho has been recognized by several
who knew him there. He was not a
member of the local branch of the
Western Federatlon-o Miners and is
unknown to the officers of this union
Adams was hard drinker and those
who knew him here are of the opin-
ion that the man is insane.
