Jolly Workers

1t is not only nice thing to think
what q fine place Elk Horn will be
after the railroad is built but it is
such cheerful place to stay now
while it is being built to go down
and see those men work. They are
up early in the morning and at quite
an carly hour they go about their
work, all cheerful. Each man knows
what his duty is and he performs it
right. Even the males know their
places. AS you come back from the
Ris Nissey cut where they are at
work now, you pass the eating house.
You may not notice this but will
hear the cheerful song of "Harrigan"
and Mr.. Stockwell at the door bid
ding you come and make yourself at
home. You certainly will feel at
home after very few minutes. 1t
you are hungry, which you can not
help but feel after getting the scent
Of all the good things you see there,
you are not allowed to leave until
your belt has been let out in the last
hole. We are only sorry to think
that these gentlemen CAM stay with
us forever.

T'TWENTY-sEVEN DE
MINE HORROR REPORTED FROM
THE ESPERANSAS.
BODIES ARE NOT RECOVERED
When Fire Breaks Out, Laborers
Find Avenue Of Escape Blocked
and Die IN Trap.

San Antonio, Tex, Sept. S.-Twenty-
seven miners were burned to death
and many others seriously injured in
another terrible fire that occurred in
the Esperansas nine.
The news reached here in a special
dispatch from Musquiz, Coshuila. 1t
adds that the fire is still raging in the
mine and that it is impossible to re-
cover the dead bodies of the miners
who were unable to escape when the
flames started. They were caught like
rats in trap, fire cutting off their
only avenue to safety.
The fire originated in shaft No. /,
and is supposed to have been caused
by fire damp.
A large force of laborers were at
work in the mine when the fire was
discovered and all but twenty-seven,
as near as can be told, managed to
escape. Many, however, were badly
burned and it is feared that several
who came out of the mine alive will
die Of their injuries.
All available physicians and nurses
are at work doing all in their power
to alleviate the sufferings OIL the
wounded, while every effort is being
made to get the bodies of the dead
miners out of the mine. This work,
however, is made almost impossible
by the intensity of the heat.
Miners employed by the Esperansas
mining companies are panic stricken
on account of the number of fires that
have occurred there of late.

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 8.-Secretary
of War Taft twice yesterday lifted
the gage of controversy hurled at
him by William Jennings Bryan. He
spoke at Olympia and Tacoma to
two big audiences. Ten thousand
persons cheered him yesterday after
noon in this city.
"Mr. Bryan in discussing some Of
my views on the tariff and other
matters, has done me the honor to
call me the great postponer,'" said
Secretary Taft. with respect to the
tariff was in favor of revision last
year and l am still in favor of tariff
revision, but | am a party man, and
hope practical man, and realize
the lack of wisdom and the danger,
both to the party and to the country
of attempting revision of the tariff
In the midst of O presidential cam
paign.
II am very well convinced that
the republicans as party will come
to revision Of the tariff Immediately
after the next presidential election
and am in favor of practical re-
suits not of theories and platforms !;
of doing the thing which should be
done. If 1t cannot be done this year,
l am in favor Of doing it next.
"1n speaking of the presidential
campaigns, Mr.. Bryan urged the free
coinage Of silver at 16 to 1, but nGw
he is postponing the issue, until he
can bring it forward again as pan.
acea in times Of financial disaster.
Secondly, Mr.. Bryan is now EN-
phasizing the subject of anti-imper
ialism and the oppression of the
Philippines, but he postponed the is
sue of anti-imperialism until after
the treaty of Paris was adopted and
the sovereignty Of the Philippines
was transferred from Spain to the
United States
