COMBUSTIDLE DUST CAUSED EXPLOSION
Sound of Explosion Spread Terror Narrowing
Scenes Followed Catastrophe. Mine Superin-
tendent Led Rescue Party. Women Displayed
Great Courage Caring for Wounded

Death in one of its most grew
some forms lurked in the Bernal
mine of the Carthage Fuel com
pany at Carthage during the
closing hours of the old year.
1t was during the noon hour
Tuesday, when the mine was
almost deserted of the forty men
who were working there only a
few minutes before. that a ter
rife explosion occurred which in
stantly killed eight of the four
teen men remaining in the mine,
mangled their lifeless bodies al
most beyond recognition, and
seriously injured the other six.
The cause of the catastrophe
is believed to have been what
coal miners know as a wind
shot" This means that a shot.
put in to break down a quantity
Of coal for removal later did not
explode in the usual fashion but
merely fizzled, raising a cloud of
highly combustible coal dust.
This dust was doubtless ignited
by the explosion of another shot
and instantly death had done its
grewsome work.
On every hand were abundant
evidences of the terrific force of
the explosion. The bodies of
some of the dead were blown
againt the walls of the mine
with such force as to flatten
them almost beyond. recognition.
In one instance, at least, dead
body was identified only by par
ticles of clothing adhering to the
mangled flesh. The body of one
miner who was coming out of
the mouth of the mine when the
explosion occurred was shot a
hundred yards into the air as
from the mouth of cannon and
nearly all the bones in it were
broken by the fall In the case
of some of the injured, small
stones were driven into their
flesh like bullets and had to be
extracted with the surgeons
knife.
Even the sound of the eXplos-
ion spread terror throughout the
mining camp. 1t must be left
to the imagination to picture the
distressing scenes which follow.

PRAISES GOV. CURRY
Judge Terrell, Eminent Attorney
Of Manila, Speaks in 0ompli-
mentary Terms Of Governor
HIS RECORD IN THE PHILIPPINES
He Succeeded in Pacifying Some
Provinces Where all His Prede-
cessors Had Failed.

Judge Howard ID. Terrell, an
eminent attorney of Manila, arr
rived in Santa Fe week ago
and in an interview granted to
the Santa Fe New Mexican spoke
of Governor Curry and the record
he made in the Philippine is
lands in the following compli-
mentary terms:
Governor Curry has been one
of the marked factors in giving
to the Filipinos their present adj
vauced condition. | think that
without exception lie is the most
popular American who has ever
been in the Philippines. When
| say that mean among all ma
tionalitieS and all classes.
He was entrusted with recon-
struction work in three of the
provinces there as provincial
governor, continued Judge Ter
rell in speaking of Governor Cur
ry's fine record in the Philip
pines. He succeeded in paci-
flying those provinces when all
of his predecessors had failed in
cluding both the military and
civil governors. He did this
mainly by acquiring the conf
dence o. the native people and
making them believe that the
American government in the
islands was there for the purpose
OF benefting and giving them
prosperity. 1t was great pleas
ure to the people of the Philip
pies to learn that his merit had
been recognized by his elevation
to the position of governor of
| New Mexico but it was not with
out some regret. The Ameri-
cans and natives in the islands
want him to return to the Phil
ippines and they would be ex-
ceedingly pleased to have him
come back as a member of the
Philippine commission. Govern
or Curry understands the people
and the conditions there,
knowledge acquired by his nine
years of service in the islands,
and he would prove a valuable
man on the commission from the
further fact that he converSes as
fluently in the Spanish language
as he does in English"

NEW MEXICO IS LECTURED
Bisbee Daily Review Says Things
That 1t Would Be Well to Heed.

The Daily Review of Bisbee,
Arizona, has been saying some
things about New Mexico that
might serve the people of the
territory to see ourselves as
others see us. 1t would be we'll
to take heed. Says the Review:
Our exchanges from New Mex
leo bring the information that
charges have been filed in the
senate committee on territories
at Washington against Governor
Curry of New Mexico. Some
early day incidents twenty years
old, have been brought to light
by few disgruntled Republicans
and Democrats and Governor
Curry's failure of confirmation
last week is due to these charges.
From all that this paper can
gather, Governor Curry is a big
hearted, brave and fearless of
fetal. He seems to have the
confidence of a great majority of
the people of New Mexico and it
is a very poor recommendation
for statehood for our sister ter
ritory to have a string of contin-
uous charges lodged against pub
lie officials before the committees
of congress. Reading the his
tory of the past New Mexicans
are too free with their charges.
A few disappointed politicians
are causing New Mexico a great
deal of embarrassment and are
surely postponing the day when
that territory will be admitted to
statehood. New Mexico would
do we'll to take a few lessons
from Arizona. We have our po-
litical differences, it is true, but
our partisanship does not go to
the extreme of elimination and
the filing of trumped up charges
against our officeholders. II
New Mexico persists it will soon
become known as the 'rottor
borough of the west"

ADVERTISING NEW MEXICO
Well Written Descriptive Article by
Governor Curry in Sundays
Denver Post.

New Mexico is in the public
eye and is receiving more pub
licity, especially through the
press of the country, than ever
before and in the opinion of the
Santa Fe New Mexican this will
undoubtedly be of great ben fit
in the fight being waged for
statehood by the sunshine ter
ritory. Sundays Denver Post
contained we'll written descrip-
tive article from the pen of Gov
ernor Curry describing the re-
sources of the territory, the pro-
gress it has made and the pros
poets for the future. 1t is featur-
ed in one of the colured sections
of the paper and a picture OF
New Mexico's executive is also
printed along with those of 9TH
er governors of commonweaIths
in the Southwest. New Mexico
will profit by advertising such as
this, in which facts and figures
are given to subStantiate the
story of its great growth. The
Denver Posts Sunday edition in
which this writeup appeared was
over 100, 600 copies which means
that that number of people at
least are bound TO see the article.

Mr.. CATRON MEETS A MISHAP
Has His Collar Bone Broken by His
Being Thrown from a Wagon.

Hon. Thomas b. Catron of
Santa Fe met with a serious
mishap one day last week.
While riding in a wagon and
looking over some oil lands near
Bakersfield, California, Mr.. Cat
ron was thrown to the ground by
the sudden slipping of the
wagon seat and his collar bone
was broken. He returned to his
home in Santa Fe the first of the
week with his shoulder in plas-
ter cast, and still suffering from
other injuries in addition to the
broken bone. AS Mr.. Catron
weighs over two hundred pounds
it can readily be seen that a fall
from a wagon was very likely to
be attended by serious conse-
quences.

SALOON MEN MAY NOT TEACH
That Is the Important Decision Made
by the Board of Education
Last Week.

A press dispatch of December
80 from Santa Fee says: The ter
ritorial board Of education at its
meeting in this city Saturday
afternoon decided among other
things that hereafter no owner,
operator or frequenter of a saloon
may hold a teachers certificate
in New Mexico. The matter
came up when charges were laid
before the board against certain
New Mexico teacher, whose name
has not been made public. The
teacher asked permission to take
the floor in his own hehalf, and
admitted that he was owner of a
saloon in the same village where
he was teaching. The board
gave the teacher fifteen days in
which to dispose of his saloon in
terest or forfeit his certificate,
the territorial superintendent be-
ing instructed to revoke his GER
tificate if the order was not car
ried out in the required time.
The superintendent was more
over empowered to revoke the
certificates of all persons found
to be owners or frequenters of
saloons and to refuse to issue
certificates to such persons"

A RARE CURIOSITY
The Murderous Looking Weapons
Now in Possession of Mr.. @. T.
Brown.

c. II. Brown has just become
the possesSor of a great curiosity
in the form of bow and arrows
made by the Indians of a tribe
in the mountains of Peru. The
bow is made of some sort of dark
wood and is over six feet long.
The arrows are made of some
kind of a reed. They also are
over six feet long and are ex-
ceedingly murderous looking
weapons. ]. f. Dwelle, who
made Mr.. Brown a present of the
strange weapons, spent four
years in Peru and learned some
thing of the Indians of that
country. He says that the In
dams of the tribe who make and
use these bows and arrows are
almost gigantic in stature and
strength and can kill a deer at a
hundred yards with the weapons.
The statement does not seem at
all improbable to one who has
seen the specimens of the weap-
ons now in Mr.. Browns posses
sion.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased portion
of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflam-
ed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surface.

An idea of the vigor Of the ef-

ed. 1t was no time for the use
less wringing of hands, however,
for the living in the mine, if
any, must be rescued from the
jaws of death. Heroic rescue
work was done by w. l.. Weber,
mine superintendent, and by
many others. Doctor Bacon,
company surgeon, worked like a
Trojan to save and relieve the
injured, and women were not
lacking to aid him heroically at
his task. Willing hands and
sympathetic hearts were every
where to care for the dead, and
minister to the necessities of the
living victims of the awful dis
aster.
The latest report from Car
thage is To the effect that all the
six injured miners will recover,
except Villanuza, whose chances
are not considered good. The
company officials are doing all
they can in caring for him and
the other injured, and are spar
ing 10 expense in providing for
the future of the bereaved fami-
lies. All the mines of the camp
were shut down on New Years
day on account of the funerals,
but have since' resumed opera
tions at the request of the min
erS themselves, who think work
the best means of relieving the
nervous strain under which they
have been since the disaster

BIRD PIANO A NEW INVENTION
instrument for Training Canaries to
Marble Simple Tunes.

Miss Ada de Acosta, lately betrothed
10 Oren Root, is the clever inventor
OF no less useful device than a bird
piano. says the New York Press. For.
be IL known, the young woman is al
one and the same time lover OF ca.
nary birds and deep student OF
music. She long ago came 10 the con
clusion that the whistles and flutes
used by bird fanciers In training ca
naries to sing were not as good as
they might be.
At last she decided no wind instru'
ment, with or without a reed, was
what the trainer needed. The happy
thought came to her that a music box
would be useful In teaching the golden
youngsters to use their voices and
she had much success along that line,
But the music box was too mechanical
for the best results. Ii was difficult
to keep II from rafting away at q rate
more rapid than the ordinary bird
could follow. So she set her wits to
work and evolved the bird piano, The
tones are produced with silver wires,
which are struck by tiny hammers on
the pianoforte principle. BY means
of the little instrument tunes simple
enough for any intelligent cansrys
und Outstanding can be played as slowly
az necessary and with the insisrent
repetition essential to success In bird
training.

illnesses OF Medical Men.

According to the British Medical
Journal physicians as class are more
subject to illness than their fellow
men The Journal adds; IAN expla-
nation Of this Is readily found in the
anxieties caused by responsibilities
which must weigh heavily on every
man of right feeling, In the amount
and trying nature of the work the doe
tor has to do, In irregularity In meals
and broken sleep. in exposure 10
weather and to infection. and last, but
not least, In the scanty remuneration
which his labor too often brings bin.
The combined influence OF all these
causes is sufficient to undermine the
strongest constitution long before a
man has reached the limit OF three
score and ten" A comparison Of
tables complied by statisticians In diff
ferent countries gives doctors al av-
erage age of 81 years at death.
