NINE BURNING NINETEEN YEARS
Blaze Started in Montana Mines by
Miners Candle in 1899.

Butte, Mont.-General Manager
Gillie of the Amalgamated Cop
per Co. properties Tuesday issued
an official statement concerning the
fires in the Anaconda & st. Lawrence
mines, misleading statements concern
ing which sent out of this city MonA
day night. Mr.. Gillie says that the
blaze, which has been raging con-
tinuously since 1899, is no wors than
it has been several times before and
that there is nothing alarming in the
situation.
The fire is supposed to have been
started from a miners candle. For
10 years it has fed on the timbers of
that part to which it has been con
fined, spreading slowly. The sulphur
in the ores also lends fuel to the
smoldering flames.

Hints at Bloody War.

Berlin-Information received here
shows that Turkey will resist
with all her might the plan Of
England and Russia to wrest control of
Macedonia from her. Turkey believes
that France will join actively in sup
port of the Anglo-Russia scheme, and
she is fearful that the influence Of
these three will be powerful enough
to win.
An article appearing in the Tagli-
cherundschau, apparently voicing the
sentiments of the Turkish embassy,
hints at a bloody war should the pro-
posed issue be forced upon Turkey.
AS a check to the designs of Eng
land and Russia, the Porte proposes a
system of reforms in Macedonia and
the suppression of the warning bands
that have created so much disorder
and distress in that country.

Hits Uncharted Rock.

The La Rache came from Cadiz,
where she had landed part of her
passengers. She WAS on her way to
Muros when, on account of the fogp
she headed for Corunna. Suddenly
she a upon a rock, but her captain,
who knew the coast well, got his YES
sci off. Almost Immediately she
ran upon another rock, which was
uncharted.
The steamer, according to a sur
vivor of the crew, sank within a few
minutes. The heavy sea, which was
running at the time, destroyed two
of the lifeboats. Boats from the
neighboring fishing villages went to
the rescue, but were able to do but
little for a time, owing to the weather
conditions. They succeeded eventual
ly in picking up a large number of
men and women who were floating on
pieces Of wreckage.
