AWFUL CATASTROPHE
 BOYERTOWN THfATtR

of Pottstown. nine miles distant, was summoned. The firemen from Potts town found the situation very bad and went to work with vim to stay the progress of the flames. This was ac- complished after the building had been entirely destroyed and several adjoin ing structures badly damaged
 While the flames were being check ed some of the BoyertOwn> firemen and others assisting them, made, frequent trips to nearby saloons. with the result that toward morning some of the men became unruly There were frequent fights among themselves. At one time it looked as though the entire two fire companies would become involved in free fight. only the good work of the state police who had been summoned from the barracks at Reading to as- sist the town. saved a more serious affray.
 The condition became so serious that Burgess Kohler at , a. m. issued an order that all saloon keepers with in the borough should close. This or der was promptly compiled with and the saloons will remain closed until further notice.
 When the flames were eXtinguisned and the rescuers entered the building a horrible sight met their gaze. Bod ies were piled in one solid mass six feet high on the second floor, so solid ly wedged that pickaXes and crowbars had to be used gently to separate the victims As each victim was taken from the pile a number tag was at tached and the body placed on boards. The bodies were covered with quilts and lowered to the street by means of ladders. and they were placed in wag- on. and taken to one of the four mOrgues. So rapidly were the bodies removed that wagons were not always at hand ard the dead were carried through the streets to the morgues. Dr. J. H. Davis of Malvern. who super vised the removal of the bodies on be- half Of the coroner. said he did not be- lieve that ten per cent of the victims would ever be identified. In nearly every case the upper portions of the bodies were burned away. In a great many instances the lower parts of the bodies were not touched.

Greene canaBea Reducing Costs

Advioes from Oananea indicate that the cost of producing copper at the properties of the Greene Cananea com pany will very soon compare favor ably with the cheap producers of the United States.
 The four furnaces of the new smelt- CT are now turning out between B. 50O,O00 and 4.OOO. 900 pounds of cop per a month, which is in excess of the production with eight furnaces during the last few months of operations un- der the present management prior to the shutdown. The record monthly output of the company was back in 1904, when under Colonel Greene, and running on high grade material, the Greene Consolidated turned out more than 6.OOO.OOO pounds.
 There has been no decision rendered as to when the rernainer four furnaces of the smelter will be b'own in, but the management both in the east and at the property, is more than pleased with the results thus far obtained from one half the smelting capacity and the reverberatory plant. which ia being operated to it's fullest capacity.
 As the second and third furnaces were not blown into commission until July P, that months production of 1000, 900 pounds was obtained en- tirely from one run of the first and second furnaces, which would indicate an annual output of 72. .OOO.OO pounds or better, with the entire plant Tn commission. The best years produc- tion was 69. 100000 pounds.
 Altough Colonel Greene. resigned from the Greene Cananea board some months ago, his other appointee tothe directorate of the company. Colonel M. M. Parker, also prominent in the affairs of the other Greene companies, s still director.
