The fire in the Homestake mine which
started on the 22nd of March is still
burning, although it is bulkheaded and
cannot spread. Nevertheless, although
the fire being smothered is supposed to
have about died out yet the mine is full
OF gas and the fumes are so deadly that
the men and horses and every living
thing has been taken out of the mine.
Most of the mills however will be kept
running on ore from the large open cut
and other surface workings until the
mine is again clear of carbon dioxide
gas A constant current of steam has
been turned into the mine and it is pre-
sumed that in about two weeks time all
will be clear again.

where they have spent the long hours
of winter working underground, out OF
the stores and work shops, from the
farm, and even from the cattle ranges
they feel as if they must take a month
off and prospect for gold, copper and

 It is interesting to study the reports of the coal mining operations for the past year. While the increase over the previous year (905) Is not large, vet it is gratifying to know that 1t is as much as 1t is, when 1t Is known that the unparalleled car shortage es- pecially in Walker County has so ma terially reduced 1t.
 The comparison between the results of non union or open mine operations and union mine operations IS quite suggestive, and certainly not to the credit of the latter. The vaunted su- periority of what they call organlz- ed or union labor coal mining sinks into utter insignificance and disrepute when confronted with the facts. The boast of its bosses and leaders of its greater value and superiority in min ing operations and of its immensely greater efficiency is quite as empty as their usual vaporings.
 According to the official report the tonnage of coal mined by union men ! in 1906 increased one per cent aDoVe their output for the previous year (19o5) while the tonnage mined ny non union or open mine men increased twelve per cent. and had 1t not been for the inability of the Walker county operators, who work non union mn CTS exclusively, to wor ktheir mines on ] account of shortage of the ears, the m crease would have been fully twenty
