Great Bridge Across the River at
Quebec Collapses.
EIGHT W0RKMEN RESCUED
Estimated That Over Four Score 9th.
ers Were Crushed to Death or
Drowned When Bridge Fell.

Quebec, Aug. 30.-The great Que
bee bridge collapsed late Thursday af-
ternoOn and now the vast mass of
steel lies tumbled wreck across the
St. Lawrence channel. A careful es-
innate places the loss of life at
eighty-four The bridge fell at exact
ly 5:37 p. M, just as many of the
workmen were preparing to leave.
The accident was so 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 a
half in length and half of it, 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 a
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 fleetness 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.
Eight Workmen Rescued.
Near the shore the wreckage of the
bridge did not go below the surface
of the water and eight workmen who
remained above water were rescued
and taken to the hospital at Lewis.
The steamer Glenmont had just
cleared the bridge when the first Sec
tion fell. The water thrown up by
the debris came clear over the bridge
of the steamer: The captain at once
lowered boats. The small boats
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 we're 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 $10O00,000.
The Phoenixville Bridge company
of Pennsylvania had the contract for
the construction of the bridge and
was working from both sides of the
river

Seven Minneapolis firemen were

Two of them are confined to their
homes while the others after receiv-

itself was soon subdued. The dam
age was not more than $1,000.
The blaze started in the largest
shaving shed of the company, and for
time it was feared that the entire
plant would be burned. The fire de-

the highly inflammable material in
the surrounding buildings and to con-
fine the flames to the shaving shed.
In that they were finally successful.

From the mine to the railroad station at Mohawk, the shipment was accom- panied by strong guard, and to San Francisco 1t was accompanied by man whose business it was to see that the valuable ore reached it's destination in safety.

MINING NEWS.

rom the mines Of the Sultan Gold Mining Company under lease to c. $. McHenry of Los Angeles and A. Hoover of Nogales.
 Tucson Post: The Mansfield company is showing no sign of be- ing affected by the financial situa- ton, as work is going ahead with the usual activity. The Sweet mine is being sank by contract to the 550-foot level, and ore is being placed on the dumps from the 25O- foot level. Good shipping ore is being taken from the Black Cap and sent in frequent consignments to the El Paso shelter.
 American Mining Review: The original locator of mining claim who loses it by failure to perform the annual labor can recover nothing from one who re-locates the claim, either for work done or improvements made. Even mills and mining machinery on the claim become the property of the new owner, as the original locator no longer has any right on the premises and may not enter to remove them.
 Bisbee Miner: At the Victor Gold Mining Company's plant near Vivian, things are shaping up for the placing of the mill in commits sion at an early date. The plant Is to be one of the most complete ever erected in the territory and will be capable of handling big tonnage of ore. It is expected that the saving of values will be very high, the automatic cyanide plant being one of the most complete on the coast.
 International American: The eeSonora Development Com pany have received good ore from their properties in the Chiracahuas during the past week, coming out of the 150-foot tunnel. MT. Colvin, having charge of the work. states that the entire breast of the tunnel Is in ore and the ground has been much softer during the past two weeks. He says he is piling the ore up and expects to have the first car for shipment before Christmas. The company has been in ore for the past two weeks.
 Prescott Courier: Several stock holders and directors of the Yava- pal Oil and Development Com pany left for the company camp north of Del Rio, yesterday. Street talk is that the reason for their going is a rather remarkable gold strike. When they commenced to drill the Courier said they could strike oil mineral or water, all val uable and worth drilling for. The report now is that both gold and water in quantity seem to have been encountered, and that the sand taken therefrom carries gold values of two hundred dollars ton. The story goes that first layer of white sand was encount- cred, then another layer of white sand and plenty of water. The high gold assay came from the first layer of white sand.
