OIL stove Explosion 10 Followed BY
Terrific Jar Of Powder and Dyna-
mite In Bells House at Re-
publie-severa Injured.

The explosion of about 100 sticks of dyn-
amite and $50 pounds OF blasting powder,
as the immediate result Of the explosion
of an oil stove, blew to atoms yesterday
the house of John r. Bell, miner llv-
ing near Republic, about twelve miles
from Birmingham, killing Bell and his
wife, injuring their three children and
two boarders. Moses Bottomlee and his
son, who were In the house. besides blow
ing out the front ends of the houses on
either side and injuring the occupants
more or less seriously.
Bell was engaged in the work of driving
headings. and was in the habit of keep
ing powder and dynamite at his home.
The disaster was caused by pouring water
on the stove to put out the oil which
had overfiowed and isnited.
1t happened about 8 a. m. when Mrs.
Bell was getting breakfast. Her husband
was standing near by. The three children
had not arisen, and the two Bottomlees
were In their room in the front of the
house. The stove exploded and the room
caught fire. Moses Bottomlee and w. s..
Bottomlee the son. rushed back and were
taking the children out.
Bodies Torn to Pieces.
Then followed the explosion 5f powder
and dynamite and the house was rent
to splinters The bodies OF Bell and his
wife were torn to pieces and hurled into
the air with pieces OF wood. There was
nothing left for the fire to burn. How the

Bell, u and years old. respectively,
were more severely wounded and were
taken to the home OF a neighbor, Scott
Newberg, at Republic, who owned the
house in which the Bells lived.
Among the neighbors who were injured
are John Love and mis- sister. Their home,
like the one on the other side, was about
twenty feet from the wrecked house.
Terrific Force.
Some idea OF the terrific force OF the
explosion, the sound o. which was heard
by people living at the distance OF a mile,
who came hurrying to the scene, may he
gained from the fact that Mrs. Bells
purse was found yesterday afternoon
against tree fully 400 yards away. and
as yet there Is no trace of several trunks.
These trunks contained, together with
wearing apparel, some money and
watches.
Such parts Of the mut,lated bodies OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Bell as could be found
were taken to Pratt City, where they will
be held at the undertaking rooms of Sam
Foley until the arrival OF a son of the
deceased. Oscar Bell. who lives at Gray
head. Bell was 80 years of age and his
wife As years old.

AN IMPORTANT STRIKE.
Eighteen Feet Of Sulphide Ore in
the Spragg Mine.

A strike of considerable import
ance was made a few days ago in
the Spragg copper property few
miles southwest of this place.
This property is now in the hands
of the Mason Valley Copper Com
pany, which is composed of Salt
Lake people, and active develop
ment work has been carried on by
the company on this property for
some months past. A tunnel is
being driven to crosscut the forma-
ton, and the strike was made in
this tunnel at distance of 43o
feet from the mouth. The ore is a
sulphide of a grade running from
2 to per cent. in copper, and so
far there is IS feet of it. This
ledge is in a hard, white lime
formation and it is expected when
this is cut through that softer
character of ground will be en-
countered which will carry some
better values. The one important
thing about this strike is that it
demonstrates that sulphide ore ex
lists all along the lode that traverses
the range of hills to the west of
the valley for fifteen miles or
more. This ore in the Spragg is
cut at depth of about 200 feet
from the surface, while in the
Bluestone the sulphides are found
at depth of about 800 feet.
There is sulphide ore in the Lud
wig, Nevada-Douglas, Dyer, Nc
Connell and Spragg now, and as
all these properties are on the
same lead it demonstrates that all
the rich groupings of oxides and
lead to the sulphide
bodies at depth. With the sui
phide ores comes permanency and
it is only question of developing
the lower levels to determine the
extent of these bodies.

Visiting Mining Section.

w. ]. Kerchen, of the Tonopah
Extension Company, of Tonopah,
and J. Carlton Bray, representing
T. l.. Oddie, were arrivals here
the first of the week to look over
and investigate the copper prop
critics in this district. Mr.. Bray,
in company with Mr.. DeSallier,
paid this section a visit a couple
of weeks ago, and it is quite evil
dent that he found something
worth looking at or he would not
have returned with other promi-
nent mining men to take a second
look over the situation. Just what
these gentlemen have done, or
may conclude to do, in this dis
trict is not yet released for publi-
cation, but in all probability they
will become interested in the
district.

NEW MINING COMPANY.
Another Company Of Salt Lakers
to Operate Dyer Group.

On the 18th of this month a new
deal was made on the Dyer copper
property in this district. The
Mason Valley Copper Company,
composed of Salt Lake people, had
bond on this property for year
or more past, and their time for
final payment was up on the first
of this month. During the time
that this company held the bond
it did some extensive development
work, spending in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 in the work. They
desired an extension of time for
the final payment until the long
tunnel being driven on the prop
erty reached certain point, but
the owners of the property re-
fused to grant the extension. The
result was that the Mason Valley
Copper Company dropped the
property, and it has been taken
up by other Salt Lake people,
among whom are c. E. Loose and
d. H. Peery. prominent mining
men of Utah. A new company is
to be formed very soon to continue
operations on the Dyer, and some
of the members of the Mason Val
ley Company will also, no doubt,
be interested in the new company.
The price paid for the property is
not mentioned, but it will be a
cash transaction and must be
closed within thirty days.
1t must not be understood that
the property was in any way turned
down by the Mason Valley Com
pany, as it has fine showing, and
will, in the near future, with more
development, undoubtedly prove
to be great property.
The new company, soon to be
organized to handle the property
will make Just one more solid con-
cern, composed mainly of Salt
Lake people, to do business in
this district.

IAtlanta Constitution. Dec. z. 'O6. !
Joe Glenn. the colored man who
was recently acquitted of the charge
of having criminally assaulted Mrs.
Camp, has mysteriOusly disappeared.
To all intents and purposes he has
vanished in the air.
10 will be recalled that Glenn was
indicted by the grand jury on the
charge of having criminally ASSAULT
ed Mrs. Camp; that his trial took
place some three days later; that
during the trial, after the identi-
fication by Mrs. Camp OF the colored
man as her assailant. one OF the
most dramatic Incidents ever enact
cd i'm the Fulton county court house.
VIII Johnson c0lored who fitted
the description which Mrs Camp
originally gave OF the man who com
mitted the crime. was arrested and
brough into court.
The arrest of Johnson was purely
accidental, and his presence in court
produced a profound sensation. Sen
timent was strongly against Glenn.
The Identification Of Mrs. Camp APP
peared TO the casual spectator. TO
spell Glenn's death knell But an
entirely different complexion was
placed on the case when johnson
was seen. The states case against
Glenn dropped 70 the ground. and
the jury. after being out four and
one half minutes. returned n verdict
of not guilty.
