Believed All Perlshed by ExpIo-
sion or Subsequent Fire.
JUST DECLARED TO Be SAFE
inspectors Left CO|iiery Few Min.
utes Before Disaster.

Pittsburg, Nov. 30-Between $50
and 200 men are believed to have per-
ished as a result of an explosion at
the mine of the Pittsburg- Buffalo Coal
company at Mariana, Washington
county. 1t is not considered likely
any of the miners will be rescued
alive. The explosion was terrific and
II all were not mangled by its force
there seems little doubt that they
perished in the subsequent fire or
were suffocated by the deadly fumes.
A majority of the miners are Amer
leans.
According to the officials of the coal
company State Mine Inspector Louttit
and Mine Foreman Kennedy had just
completed a two days examination of
the mine and had come from the mine
only three minutes before the explo-
sion occurred. The surprise of these
two men was great.
The force of the explosion can be
imagined when it is known that the
heavy iron cage which carried the
men from the surface to the work
ings was blown 800 feet away from
the mouth of the shaft. Two men
who were on the cage at the time
were killed, one of them having his
head blown off.
The explosion occurred in shaft NO.
and the only way to reach the work
ings is through that shaft, as shaft
No. is not completed.
Mariana was built recently by the
Pittsburg- Buffalo Coal company. 1t
neeessitated a great outlay of money
as it was the intention to make the
mine up TO date and the living con-
ditions of the miners the same as
could be secured In large city. The
houses were of brick construction and
each contained a bathroom. When
completed the town was said by Tor
eign and American mine officials tc
be the most perfect mining town in
the world.
From an authoritative source 1t is
learned that 275 men were in the
mine at the time of the explosion
The deputy coroner at Monongahela
SAYS he does not think any of them
will get out alive.
The first rescuing party OF sixty
was compelled to retreat on account
of the intense heat after getting with
in a short distance of where the men
are believed to be entombed.

Rov confesses to Ineendiarisn.

Baker city, Ore, Nov. 30.--A series
Of fires In this city during the past
few months, which resulted in losses
amounting to $4,000, has been traced
to fifteen-year-old boy named Golden
Ormond. He has been arrested and
has confessed his crime to detectives.
The confession alleged to have been
made by the youth reveals q morbid
desire to avenge the reprimand Of q
schoolteacher and delight In the ex
citement which was attendant upon
the fires he started.

The Manehs,tsr Martxrs.

Along In '67 or thereabouts some
Irishmen tried to rescue a bunch of
Fenian prisoners in Manchester, and a
police sergeant was shot and killed.
The prisoners got away, which may
have had something to do with the up
shot too. The government was natur-
ally sore, and they managed to hang
three Of the rescue party without too
much fine haired fuss as to whether
they had anything to do with the shoot
ing or not. At that time Fenians and
Nationalists were at daggers drawn,
and the church was heavy against the
Fenians, of course, but they were all
one, one IN agony and shame over
those Irish boys strung up in an Eng
lish town. All their helplessness, all
the bitterness OF England's might, Eng
land managed with those halters to
drive fostering deep afresh. Think sf
town the size Of Dublin tUTning 0ut
a funeral procession Of 10000 people,
and think OF how those 10000 Irish
were feeling when tell you they were

Shop Without a Name.

In the DeVonshlre town Of Woodbury.
there is a butchers shop which has no
name nor has 1t had one for the last
120 years. The reason affords a strik-
ing illustration Of the supersttious ma
tire Of west country folk. When this
particular business was started, the
owner for some reason or other did not
have his name inscribed on the prem
lses. Whether this fact had anything
to do with the success Of the business
or not II would be difficult to say.
Trade, however, was brisk, and the
butcher duly retired, leaving the name
less shop to his son. The business has
been handed down from father to son
for more than 120 years, but none of
those into whose occupation 1t has
come would have his name put up on
any consideration, fearing-as, In fact,
the present owner does today-that
such procedure might break the spell
Of good fortune with which the busl-
ness has been favored.-London Stand

Captured Golden Eagle.

so far as can be ascertained the
first royal golden eagle ever captured
alive In this part Of the northwest. Is
on exhibition at the meat market of
H. j. Rand, where It attracts great
attention, says the Yakima Republic.
IL Is a large, powerful and proud
bird, and bears the distinct marks of
the golden eagle. 1t is much more
attractive In face and form than the
baldheaded eagle, though probably
Just as destructive. 1t is very aglls
on wing. and its eyes are large, keen
and expressive.
I. S. Darby shot this eagle Just
south OF the Naches river and near
the Tieton day before yesterday.
wounding 1t so 1t could not fly. It
fell to the earth In the vicinity of
where the gunner shot It and, the
sagebrush being wet and heavy, the
bird could not get away, but 1t fought
stubbornly when Mr.. Darby approach
ed 1t and was not an easy victim by
any means. 1t will probably recover
from the wound.
There are only few OF the golden
eagle kind in the northwest. This is
probably the first specimen OF the
royal golden eagle ever seen in this
district 1t is distinguished from the
golden eagle by the darker color OF
the royal bird. Not many of this

Claims MAY be Jumped.

Prospectors holding mining claims
In Oregon, Idaho and Washington
who have been looking to congress
to pass the bill suspending for the
year 1907 the requirement that 500
worth Of labor shall be done on all
mining claims are likely to be disap-
pointed, according to a late Washing
ton dispatch. says the Spokane Chron-
icle.
The Bartlett assessment bill, It Is
stated, cannot be passed. The bill
introduced by Senator Teller of Colo
rado, is similar to the Bartlett bill
passed the senate some time ago, but
1t is understood it will not pass the
house.
The failure to pass such legislation
means that all mining claims upon
which the required amount of assess
ment work was not done during the
year 1907, can be legally
jumped after January /, 1908.

The proceeds OF the sale OF $15.50O
OF Elgln school district bonds have
been received and the same will be
applied in the building of a new
school house. which is now in course
of construction. The sale Of these
bonds, considering the strlngency in
financial matters, speaks well for the
condition Of the Elgin school district.
The bonds were purchased by people
In New York. They sold at par and
carry per cent interest.
Bids for the construction of the

day and the contract was awarded to

INDIAN CITIZENS.
NEZ PERCES FREED

About 270 Educated Members of the
Nez Percc Tribe Conducting Their
Own Affairs-Part of the Plan of
Commissioner IIeupp of the Indian
Department TO Make All Intelll-

The sites Sentinel is responsible
for the statement that "270 of he
Nez Perce Indians have been granted
full and absolute control of their in
dividual allotments."
This is very wise departmental
regulation, established by the pres
cnt incumbent of the office of Com

Il. Leupp. says the Idaho Scimitar.

went to Washington last winter to
promote the plan, The idea was to
give the Indian a chance to exercise
Independent authority over his own
scres when he has reached that de-
gree of intelligence and honesty to
satisfy the agent In charge sufficient
ly to receive his recommendation.
The Indian problem has always
been a troublesome one to deal with,
and many disappointments to the
government have been experienced
with tribes throughout the west, with
no end of embarrassment and fall
ure on many OF the reservations. The
Nez Perce Indians have. during all
these years, been on the up grade,
and it Is most interesting and en-
couraging that so many of them have
received the great privilege referred
to by the Sites Sentinel
Commissioner Leupp was a former
Indiana newspaper man, and went to
Washington some years ago as a rep
resentative of some of the larger pa
pers from the Hoosler state. He i'm
mediately became interested In the
American Indian problem and de-
veloped some splendid theories ger

vancement to the commissonership
he has moved among the reservations
and made extensive and minute re-
search into their habits, customs.
dispositions and especially into the
tendencies of the individual tribes
under his charge. Like every other
human. the Indian resents restraint.
and of course his love for freedom is
abnormal.

HOW CASPER STOPPED GAMES
Sheriff Simply Said He Would Burn
"Iayouts" IL Games Were Not
Closed.


There has not been any gambling
in Casper, Wyo., for a week and If
Sheriff Sheffner has his way about 1t,
there will not be any as long as he
remains in office, says the Casper
Tribune.
On Wednesday last week the sheriff
notified all those in the city who were
engaged in running the games that IL
he found any gambling devices in
any of the saloons after December "a
he would confiscate the furniture,
take 1t into the public highway and
burn It, and all those who were con-
ducting the games at once closed up,
discharged their men and retired from
the business, and they say they have
no intention OF starting up again,
The sheriff was being blamed by
great many people for allowing the
anti-gambling law to be openly violat-
ed, and the fact that gambling was
going on in Casper and was not per-
mitted in the other towns of the state
had a tendency to draw a great many
tough characters to our town who
would go any route to get a few dol
lars The proprietors of the gaming
tables made complaint against this
class of people, for they made their
headquarters at the different resorts
and committed numerous petty
crimes, besides being persistent beg

being driven out of town. for they
