ELEVEN CALIFORNIA MINERS
CAUGHT IN DEATH TRAP
Endcavor to Escape From Fire In
Mine When this skip Became
damned and Could Not be
Raised or Lowered.

Jackson, Cal.-One of the greatest
calamities in the annals of mining in
this country occurred at the Fremont
Consolidated mine. near Drytown, on
Saturday. The employees as usual
were hoisted from the underground
works at noon. At o'clock the
first skip containing thirteen men,
was lowered in the Fremont shaft.
Reaching the 1,000-foot level, volumes
of smoke were encountered, showing
that the mine was on fire. The skip
became jammed at this point and
could neither be hoisted nor lowered
It is supposed to have been thrown
off the track by one of the men being
overcome by smoke and falling
against the front wheels of the skip.
Two of the men aboard got out
and climbed to the surface by means
of the ladder way. The other eleven
perished
Four OF the unfortunate men are
Americans, four Italians and three
Austrians.

FINANCIAL SITUATION WILL

sixtieth Congress Expected to do
Something In the Matter Of Cur
rency Legislation Before
Other Questions Are
Settled.

Washington. the day for the
opening of the Sixtieth congress ap.
proaches, 1t becomes more and more
evident that the financial question
will receive first consideration. The
members Of both houses who have
already arrived in the city confess
that the situation is a difficult one,
and there has yet been very little
capitalization Of thought on the sub
feet. A number of informal confer.
ences have already been held. and
more must be held before anything
like program can be announced.
Senator Aldrich, chairman of the SEN
ate committee on finance, which COM
mittee will have to deal with the
question for the senate, Is expected
to take up the question with some
of the leaders, including Senator ALI
son and Speaker Cannon. who are
now here. There Is a tendency to-
ward having the proposed legislation
originate in the senate instead of the
house, because the senate is organ
ICED and the house is not, but 1t Is
too early to say definitely what may
be done In that respect.

Isaac Coffman Of Hatton, Pa, has
sold CONN he made many years ago.
He sold It not because he felt he would

Mr.. Coffman is nearing his eightieth
birthday. He explained to q friend
that he constructed the coffin 20 years
ago. II was built Of chestnut because,
as he put It, "Many's the time have
sat beside CHEEKY blaze of chestnut
logs and heard them crackle and burn
merrily It makes such a homelike
blaze that picked 1t in preference to
other woods. 1t was my desire to
have the coffin as coy as possible,
and rejected the frivolities which SO
many persons affect In the matter Of
cofnns. In order to have It handy
kept 1t in the garnet. But my wife
tells me that styles have changed. and
since / have accumulated little for
tune she will not permit me to die un-
less I consent to get an up-to.date
casket. To avoid trouble agreed to
sell the old one. But at the same
time think that the coffin which was
good enough for me in my poorer
days should satisfy me now, and !
shall always feel out Of place in the
new-fangled affair"

METHODS ARE TOO STRENUOUS.
Why Yankee Statesmen Have Not Sue
ceeded In South America.

In the matter of statesmen abroad,
we must have men who not only speak
the language but who are also thor
oughly conversant with the customs
and idiosyncrasies Of the people with
whom they deal, says the Engineering
Magazine. The South American, in
his buying as in almost everything
else, is a most deliberate person as
we'll as a sensitive one. A salesman
who will call, smoke cigarette. talk
lnconsequently about the weather. the
theater and the races, and answer
questions-should any happen to be
asked-rather than make assertions
about his goods, will outsell. five to
one, the liveliest hustler that ever
opened up q, sample case. This is q
thing SO contrary to the instinct Of the
American salesman that. to date, in
bis wanton disregard Of 1t. he has con-
stantly played into the hands Of his
more experienced European rivals.

latter politely, "are the greatest sales

Goldfeld, Nev.-The directors Of

at which a committee will be ap-
pointed to confer with President
Roosevelt concerning the smelter sit.

The smelters have refused to take any
more gold ores from Nevada camps
at a time when the country is crying
for gold.
Because Of their action and the
consequent inability of the mining
employers to pay their employees in
currency, the mines and leases of
Goldfeld, which are capable Of pro.
ducing gold at the rate of $4,000, 900
month, are unable to operate their
