SEVEN KILLED IN
MINE EXPLOSIONS
cARELEssNEss OF DOOR TENDER
CAUSES GAS TO LET GO AND
SECOND AND MORE SERIOUS
ACCIDENT RESULTED.

Scranton. Pa, June 1S.-Seven
men, including Frank Burdock, cleo
trician and six miners, we're killed
outright and two others seriously in
jured in two explosions of gas in
johnson No mine, at Priceburg to-
day. The first explosion which oc-
Cured about O'Clock was caused by
the carelessness of door tender who
by leaving the door open, allowed gas
to accumulate.
One man was injured by this explo-
sion. The second explosion, which re-
suited in the death of seven men and
injury of another, occurred about 5
O'Clock and resulted from ignition of
fire damp which accumulated after
the first explosion. OF eight men who
were working In the main gangway al
the time Of the second explosion only
one escaped.
All the victims we're frightfully
burned. About 1,500 men were at
work in the mine, but as no account
was kept Of those who had come out
before the explosion occurred, 1t is i'm
possible TO determine until rescuing
party, now in the mine returns, II
there are any more dead.

Reference was made recently to a
proposed movement on the part OF
the Three States Lumber company to
expand their business at this point,
and word came yesterday from Mem
phis, the companys headquarters
that this movement has been defienit
| ly decided upon. The company is one
of the biggest concerns n the country,
controlling practically all of the cot
tonwood lands in this section Of the
country, with six hundred million feet
of pine lumber in Arkansas and great
cypress forests in Louisiana. 1t has
a dozen big lumber mills 10 cut its
timber into boards for the market.
Its purpose is to concentrate its bust
ness at Cairo, making this the dis
tributing point to all parts of the
country. The company owns large
lumber yard here with frontage on
the Ohio river, and it will probably
put in facilities for handling is pro-
duct between the river and its yards.
The company has given some con
sideration TO Joppa where the c. &
E. l. is straining every nerve to pro-
cure business. This company makes
it a practice to give all shippers
prompt transfer and car service, and
this Is an attraction to shippers
which few can resist. The C. & E. l.
will send steamer to Cairo and
take a barge Of lumber to Joppa and
has 1T put into cars on short notice,
never falling to meet any demand for
cars that is made upon it. The result
has been that although Cairo has
several railroads over which shipment
ean be made, and from which cars
should be available. Joppa has come
into prominence as vigorous COM
Detitor to Cairo in the lumber bust
hess, and threatens to deprive Cairo |

Wisconsin Co.'s Bio Deal.


Although the location for the new
yards and shipping sheds of the Wis
consn Timber and Lumber company
has not beendefini tely determined
upon and the lumber with which to
construct the sheds. offices, etc, Is
tideup for an indefinite time in the
railroad yards al Poplar Bluff, the
local representative, Il. r. Easton, Is
already actively engaged in extensive
business.
Early this week Mr. Easton re-
ceived what is believed to be one Of
the largest single orders ever given
to a firm doing business in Cairo. 1t
called for seven million feet of yellow
pine timber Mr.. Easton left yester-
day on an extended trip for the pur-
pose of looking up the timer to fill the
order. He probably will return the
latter part of next week and at that
time the mater of location will be de-
termined.
The Wisconsin company is consid-
ering TWO very favorable propositions.
one from the Redman- Magee Elevator
to locate the yards south Of
their elevator ner the Mississippi
leyee and the other is from Hastings
4 Co. to locate the yards south of
their new warehouse in the drainage
district. Both offers have many
favorable inducements.
AS soon as the location is decided
upon and the necessary timber can
be secured, work will be started on
