LONCMONT WOMAN
IN HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
Especial to The Sentinel. I

Longmont, Colo, Oct. 16.-Her
clothing catching fire from bon
fire, into which she was raking some
leaves and weeds, at her home 10
miles north of Longmont. Mrs. Harry
Teiffer, wife of prominent ranch
man, was so badly burned Wednes-
day that her death is expected to
result. Her body is one mass of blis-
ters.
The accident happened on the
Howlett ranch. owned by the wom-
ans father, but which is being looked
after by Teiffer. The husband was
working in the field. and. with the
exception of two small children,
there was no one within hearing dis
tance of the woman.
Two men working a half mile dis
tant on an adjoining ranch witnessed
the accident and ran to the rescue:
but, before they reached the scene.
the flames had stripped the body of
all its covering and horribly cooked
the flesh. The victim had lost con-
seriousness and has remained in that
state since.
A pathetic feature of the accident
is the fact that Mrs. Teiffer was ex-
pected to become mother within n
month.

The gentlemen's home is in Denver
and he is widely known there. He
has also visited in Grand Junction
on business matters several times.
On September IL, he fell from his
horse while prospecting in Utah, and
has been acting strangely for some
time.
Trevarthen has acquired many
valuable interests in Utah and from
his superior knowledge of quartz
mining hoped to increase his fortune
Trevarthen came to Colorado In 1895
from Spokane and it was largely due
to his efforts as shift boss. foreman
and superintendent, successfully that
the Portland property became one of
the richest on the western hemi
sphere. He was superintendent from
1902 to 1905. The Portland is the
property that made Trevarthen's
name famous as a mining manager.

The season Of 1907 in the production
Of iron ore and in the traffic OF The

For nearly a decade now the iron

go on doing so indefinitely
Ashtabula harbor. for example. is the
greatest ore-receiving port in the
world 1t has doubled its capacity In
the last two years
With the new improvements com
pleted il viii be doubled again This.
il is already predicted. Will mean the
IulU tracking or the ore-carrylng
branch Of the Lake Shore Railroad.
During the last season a new record
for an iron ore cargo was established.
The steamer j. PierpOnt Morgan
entered South Chicago with 13.294
tons aboard.
To carry this cargo by rail required
800 cars OF 4e-ton capacity. Ten
years ago the average cargo of the
Lakes was about 2.209 tons
The greatest record in unloading one
OF these cargoes that has yet been at
tained is 10.514 tons in four hours and
fourteen minutes.
one Of the achievements Of the
present year, Il is said, will be the
building Of an ore vessel $50 feet, c.
nearly an eighth Of a nie long.
Within the last year several 60e-foOt
ships were completed for the Lake
trade. and a fleet of three. each sos
feet in length. is now building. on
the oceans OF the world there are but
fifty ships which surpass this length
and but few freighters which carry larger
cargOos.
