The Pollard Florence lease is on the
verge of a strike that will set the camp
by the ears, if indications can be
trusted. Thousands of dollars have
been expended in development work by
the Pollard people but while good ledges,
SO far as looks go, have been encoun-
tered on several occasions and small
stringers of high grade have been cut
frequently, the leasers have searched in
vain for the ore that was to make the
shareholders rich. The much sought
but elusive gold bearing rock has per-
sistently and consistently kept just be-
yond the reach of the miners. OF course
the leasers are after the rich Florence

a mile of the Little Florence. to the

same quest and everyone Of them is
equally certain that he will sooner or
later find this extremely rich body OF
ore in his particular block of ground.
Recently the Rogers Goldfield Syndi-
cate struck a rich ore body near the
side line Of the Little Florence and 1t
was Immediately announced that 1t was
the Florence vein. But the ore, while
very rich. is not exactly similar In
character to the Little Florence ore.
Still there is not enough difference to
justify the ascertain that 1t Is not q
part of the same body. In fact there
appears to be two distinct veins of high
grade ore running through the Florence
property, both of which have been
opened up in the Little Florence. The

to be the Higginson- McNaughton ore

Mining Engineer Charles A. Murdock
has just returned from Fairview. which
camp has been the scene of several i'm
portant strikes of late. Mr.. Murdock
lays great stress on the recent strike on
the property Of the Fairview Eagle.
which he states is one of the richest in
the entire district. The shaft Of the
Fairview Eagle was started some time
ago, and at depth of as feet. ledge
SIS feet wide was encountered. and con-
siderable high grade ore found. The
high grade pay streak however, was
not found at this depth. and the shaft
was continued to a depth of 200 feet.
and in the main drift at this depth, an
ore shoot was opened Up. which proved
to be 40 inches wide and of a rich sui
phide ore Several assays taken from
the ore shoot range in value from 500
to $500 per ton. and a conservative aver
age of the entire body is placed at
$3.50 per ton. Water In quantity was
also encountered. and the company has
ordered compressor, engine and pumps.
and as soon as installed and operations
are resumed. even greater values should
be encountered. as the ore SO far dis
covered in Fairview district increases
in value below the water level

an interurban express train, consist
ing of motor car and q trailer, and a
traction car on the Nation and
Charleston electric line Friday
morning. The crash occurred on a
sharp curve one mile west of Charles
ton, Ill. A confusion of orders re-
ceived over the telephone Is said to
have caused the accident.
The cars approached each other at
high speed and the impact was so ter
rife that the motor car and trailer
were telescoped by the traction car.
Few passengers had time to escape
by jumping. The passengers were
nearly all en- route to the Coles county
Fair at Charleston.
Some Of those who were able to
talk say the scene at the wreck was
grewsome. The dead and dying were
damned together in a mass Women
were shrieking with pain and children
were crying for mothers who are
thought to be among the dead.

sued . temporary Injunction against
fourteen Western railroads and five
express companies restraining them
from establishing on Sept. new

drive the creameries out Of business.
A protest against the proposed action

to the creamery companies, it could

Quebec, Aug: 30.-The great Que

ST. Lawrence channel. A careful es-
innate places the loss Of life at
eighty-four. Tho bridge fell at exact
~ 5:37 p. M. Just as many Of the
workmen were preparing to leave
The accident was 80 terrible in its
effectiveness in wiping out the lives
of the men employed that very little
is known as to the cause Of the disas-
ter.
The bridge was about a mile and
half in length and half Of 1t, from the
south shore to midstream, crumpled
up and dropped into the water. Ninety
men were at work on this section OF
| the structure and the whistle had just
blown at 5:37 for the men to quit
work for the day when there came
grinding sound from the bridge in
midstream. The men turned to see
what had happened and an instant
later the cry went up 'the bridge is
falling"
The men made a rush shoreWard,
but the distance was too great for
them to escape. The fallen section Of
the bridge dragged others after it, the
swapping girders and cables booming
like the crash of artillery. Terror
lent feetness to the feet of the fright
ened workmen as they sped shore
ward, but only few of them reached
safety before the last piece of iron
work on the south shore was dragged
into the river.

remained above water were rescued
and taken to the hospital at Lewis.

piled backward and forward over the
sunken wreckage for half an hour,
but there was no sign Of life. The
twisted iron and steel had it's vic
tins in a terrible deathgrip. A few
floating timbers and the broken
strands of the bridge toward the
north shore were the only signs that
anything unusual had happened. There
was not ripple on the smooth sur
face of the St. Lawrence as it swept
along toward the gulf.
All the men drowned were en-
ployes of the Phoenixville Bridge
company and sub-contractors of Que,
bee and Montreal.
The Quebec bridge was begun about
seven years ago and it was to be
finished in 1909. Subsidies had been
granted by the federal and provincial
governments and the city of Quebec,
and the estimated cost Of the work
was $10,000,000.
The Phoenixville Bridge company
Of Pennsylvania had the contract for
the construction of the bridge and
was working from both sides of the

FIGHTING AT CASA BLANCA
Serious Engagement Between French

Casa Blanca, Aug. 31-The fighting
Wednesday near the French camp be-

General Drude was one of the most
serious engagements since the occupa

tack was unexpected and the tribes

absolute fearlessness. The caid with
the red coat was again prominent and
his flaming garment was seen In the
thickest of the fray.
The engagement lasted three hours.
The line Of battle extended over two
miles and it is estimated that over H.
400 Moors were engaged. The loss Of
the latter is now known, but it is be-
lieved to have been heavy. French
officers counted the bodies of twenty
Moors in one roadway The French
loss was fifteen men killed or wound
