zas Fail Trouble is Threat
ened by Miners.

San Antonio, Teyas, Sept. -Proba-
bly, more than 200 men are cut of
from the surface by flames which fol-
lowed the explosion yesterday in the
Las Esperanzas mine Ia Mexico, and

all may perish. Relief parties have
worked all night and day, but have
made no headway against the flames.

miners were killed and at least 130
injured. The explosion, which is be-
lieved to have been caused by fire
damp, occurred at time Of day when
the mine was dlled with workmen, and

markable. Some of the men brought
to the surface were badly mutiJated
and will die

cur at the Las Esperazas mines, and

Plans for the new Cotton Belt depot, to be constructed in Argenta, will be in the hands of the engineers in an- other week. It is stated that the depot to be erected will be fitted for large city. It is to be cOmmodious and modern in every respect. The central offices of the construction department are at work on the plans and will have them in the hands of General Route Agent F. M. Gilbough within a week.
 The bids for the removal of the houses on the Cotton Belt right of way will be opened and awarded to- day. F. NJ. Gilbough arrived in Little Rock yesterday. The work of cross sectioning and surveying has not been pushed rapidly during the past few days, owing to the fact that buildings obstruct the right of way and must be removed. This will be done in the next few days. The work of grading the first three miles ot the belt line
 is proceeding rapidly.-Little Rock Gazette.
