Accident or Suicide?

Cripple Creek.-After a search oil
eleven nours through the miles of un.
derground workings Of the Portland
mine, the body of A. b. Baine, for
years rancher living seventeen miles
from Florence, was found at the bot
tom Of the big stope of the Dillon mine.
Whether he purposely leaped to death
or fell by accident is not known.
Peculiar circumstances surround
the death. Baine came in from his
ranch. applied for work at the Port
land and was put on the o'clock
shift. He told several of the miners
he did not have to work, but wanted
n change of surroundings, as he had
been beaten out of large sum OF
money by partner and wanted some
thing to keep his thoughts from his
misfortune.
When cautioned to be careful In
getting of the cage. Baine said 1t did
not make much difference whether he
was killed or not. Shortly afterward
he was missed by the men on the level
and an alarm was given. A search
was begun and the body was found 300
feet down the Dillon stope. Baine had
wandered to where the Dillon and
Portland properties connect and had
either fallen or leaped down the open
stope from the Dillon mine.

has been received that the crew had

hour described her sails as blown into

pitiless seas.
There is Il big crowd on the beach.
but they are powerless to render as
sistance.
The point where the vessel Is
ashore Is the most dangerous on the
coast. She lies 250 yards in direct
line from the mainland. but the pres
ence OF huge rocky barrier between
the ship and the shore compels the
lifeboats In their efforts to get into
communication to take circutous
route through the boiling seas.
all through the day and until a late
hour the lfeboats and coast guards
made determined but fruitless efforts
to reach the doomed vessel.
The attempts were to have been con-
tinued this morning II the ship was
still holding together. but no reports
have been received. At last accounts
the seas were breaking over the yes.
sci and she was breaking up.

THE COAL PRODUCING STATES.
Colorado Holds Place in Production Of
Black Diamonds.

The most important change in the
order of the coal-producing states re-
sulting from conditions which existed
in 1906 was the replacement of Illinois
by West Virginia as the second state
In rank. For several years the pro-
duction of West Virginia has been
creeping up on that of Illinois, and in
1906 the state took the position held
by Illinois since 1876. Under ordinary
conditions this displacement would
have occurred within Il year or two at
any rate, but 1t was possibly FASTENED
by the suspension of mining in the
spring of 1906 in those states where
the mine workers are organized. 1t
is true that, Notwithstanding the al.
most complete shutdown OF the Iii.
nois mines for period of about
eleven weeks, that state exhibited n
normal increase over 1905. and it is
claimed that the production would not
have been any larger had there been
no interruption to mining operations,
but It Is also true that during the shut
down in the other states mining in
| West Virginia was exceptionally active,
and in addition to the increased pro-
| duction at the operating mines. new
territory was opened up and much new
development work was started As Il
result of these conditions West Vir-
glnia in 1906 made a larger increase In
! production than any other state, and
| took second place. In view of the de-
| velOpments made in progress it Is not
likely that West Virginia will be sup
| planted by any other state.
The only other changes in rank
! among the ten leading states was the
resumption OF fifth place by Alabama,
! which had been supplanted in 1905 by
/ Indiana (now SIXTH. and the supplant-
ing of Kansas by Tennessee as the
tenth state In the amount OF produc-
! duction.
The record for 1906 shows that Penn
: sylvanias output has once more fallen
| below 80 per cent OF the total produc-
| ton of the United States. In the conf
! bined production of anthracite and bi'
luminous coal. Pennsylvania as re-
/ Gently as 1850 was credited with two
thirds of the total coal output OF the
country. hut the proportion produced
, In that state has been gradually o..
| clininG, and In four OF the last five
! years the percentage has been less
than so. In 1906 Pennsylvania pro
. duccd asa per cent. of the total. H.
per cent. being represented by the an

portaut states. West Virginia con
