HOMESTAKE FIRE.
Mine Filled With Gas Which
Makes Fighting Fire
Impossible.

| Lead, April @ Filled with deadly
gas, the workings of the Homestake
| mine have become almost unavoidable.
and today finds, instead of hundreds Of
men, only about fifty in the mine
These men ale either on the cages
bratticing on the eco foot level, or run
ming the pumps on the !, 100 foot level
Aside from this there is no work being
done ON the Lead side.
The gas has grown constantly worse
Last night two horses were killed by
gas on the 1,250foot level One Of
these was TEDDY, the miners pet,
horse born underground, and famil-
lar figure in Labor day parades. OF
seventeen men who were in the cage
last night only three were not affected
by the gas.
Great alarm was felt this morning
when the unconscious bodies of FIVE
men, overlooked in the rush, were
found en- the 500-foot level, where they
had been for some time. 1t took siren
nous work on the part of the doctors to
restore them to consciousness.
The company chemist who made
tests of tho gas last night reports that
it is pure carbon dioxide and believes,
owing to the great quantities of it, that
it has already choked out the fire.
The mills are still running.
For the first time in the history OF
the mine there is not one man in the
Homestake mine on the Lead side and
only the Anxious mill in this city is
runLing. The Star and Homestake
mills both hung up their stamps today.
An etxra force of men has been put to
work on the open cut, where 1t is hoped
to secure enough ore to keep the Ami
Gus running All the workings on the
Lead side are checked with deadly gas
fumes so strong that no man can live
in them. 1t was even found necessary
this afternoon to abandon the pump on
the 1, 100 foot level. The company is,
however supplied, with skipt, which
they will use for bringing up the water
as soon as it reaches the 1.25O-foot
level. The gas reached this level about
l o'clock this morning and swept down
like strong wind Men were over
come almost instantly and fell to the
ground insensi BILE. Only the immediate
arrival of a rescue party prevented a
number of fatalities.

MISSING BARBER.
Young Man Leaves Mitchell
Hotel for Depot and Is
Seen No More.

J Mitchell. April Clyde Carpenter,
of Hudson, brother of Rex Carpenter,
arrived in the city Monday evening
with the hope Of finding some clew here
that would lead to the finding of his
brother, who mysteriously disappeared
a week ago Friday. Mr.. Carpenter said
that he had visited all the towns
around in this section of the state and
made diligent inquiry but he could not
find the first trace of the missing man.
He seemed to have hopelessly disappear
ed as If he had been swallowed up in
the sea. Mr.. Carpenter said that his
brothers wife is still at Hudson, where
she went to remain until she had
arranged things for their removal to
Hawarden, Ia, where Rex had bought
a barber shop. She stated that there
was not the slightest reason for Rex
disappearing in this way, that their
family relations had been of the most
pleasant character and no cloud had
ever hovered over their household.
Rex Carpenter worked in the Mitchell
hotel barber shop and he was to leave
on the early morning train on March
20, for Hawarden, la. He got up early
in the morning and with about ten
minutes to spare to catch the train he
left the Mitchell hotel and went to the
depot. There all trace of him is lost, as
he was not seen to get on the train.
he is young man of quiet disposition
but did not carry sufficient money with
him to cause anybody to hold him up.
When he left he had about $50, and as
far as known had made no display of it.
He is FIVE feet 10 inches high, weighs
about 40 pounds, has light complexion
and dark hair.
Clyde Carpenter went back to Hud
son to take up the search again. He
fears that foul play has been done to
his brother. although he is not known
to have any enemies.
