REPORTS OF NATIONAL Dis
ASTER GROSSLY UNTRUE
Employees Of National Mining Company Claim (aVeinWs Due
to A(d6dnt.NO OM Injured and Tunnel Never
Completely 0ktWed

Tuesday evening report was jre'
ceived in town that tunnel on the
Combination lease at National had
been blown up and three men killed.
Frank w. Stall, one of the prophet
ors of the lease, who was in Winnie
mucca, left Wednesday morning for
National, accompanied by Sheriff
Lamb, arriving at the mine at about
O'Clock the same afternoon. When
they reached the scene of the accident
they found that while the tunnel had
not been dynamited, a cave-in had oc.
CURED at point about 200 feet fom
the entrance to tunnel No. 3, but the
passageway had not been completely
blocked and the three Combination
lease men crawled out with little dif-
Ffculty.
While men in the employ of the
Combination lease claim that the tun.
mel was purposely caved In by EN-.
ployes of the National Mining Com
pany of Nevada, the latter positively
state that the whole thing was an ae-
cident. Superintendent Bolam, fer the
company, says that he was at work,
with force of men, replacing the
small timbers in the tunnel with those
of larger dimensions. Before COM
mencing the work, however, he notiA-
ed the Combination lease men work
ing at the face of the tunnel Of his in-
tentions, warning them to leave. This
they declined to do and he proceeded
with his work, when the cave-in took
place.
The tunnel was not completely OBJ
structed, and from reliable informa-
tion it is learned that at all times it
was possible for an ordinary sized man
to crawl through the obstruction with
safety. The Combination lease en-
ployes admit that they were notified to
leave by Supt. Bolam and that they
disregarded his warning.
On Monday Judge Orr issued an in

from operating the. Combination until
the validity of the lease had been de-
termined by the Court, requiring the
company to furnish bond in the sum
of $4,000. To representative of
the Silver State Frank w. Stall stat
ed, last evening, that, acting upon ad-
vice of counsel, he had instructed
three of his employees to enter the tun-
mel for the purpose of securing high
grade ore that was lying near the face,
and that no attempt was made to pros
ecute further mining operations.
There are various rumors of contempt
proceedings and warrants being sworn
out against the men who pulled out the
timbers, but it is not likely that any
thing will be done in the matter. The
t25,000 bond submitted by the Ma
tional Mining Company of Nevada
was approved by Judge Orr yesterday
morning Whether the Stall brothers
had right to work their lease until
the bond was fled, is probably a fine
point of law, but now that the bond
has been filed no further attempt will
be made by them to operate the mine
uitil the whole matter has been settled
ht the Court.
Finding that he had nothing to do

The return trip to Winnemucca at 8

to rest, the team was turned around

The first head-on collision on the
Salt Lake division of the Southern
Pacific since the introduction of the
automatic block signals, three years
ago, occurred at 1880 Thursday even
ing, at Mote siding, about eight miles

both running at fair rate of speed,
met with force that practically de-
molished both engines. Fortunately
none Of the train crews were injured.
As result of the accident traffic was
delayed for several hours.

Dam the Dela,rare.

Philadelphia, Oct. 6.-Plans for
eliminating the ice jams and shOal-
ing at Horseshoe Bend in the Del
aware viii be considered at a con-
ference of business men called for
tomorrow by Mayor Reyburn
The Horseshoe Bend has long been
a menace, to commerce. Shipping
men say it is due to the peculiar
condition of the current, which eats
its way into the Jersey shore and
shoals on the Pennsylvania side. Just
north of the east entrance to the
back channel at League Island are
heavy shoals which are constantly in
creasing.
The proposition is to build an i'm
mense dixie on the Jersey side, at a
point near Gloucester, to turn the
current of the river. 1t is predicted
that when this is constructed the
current of the river will be diverted
to the Pennsylvania side, thereby
carrying the current in the channel
in which it should go. By this means
the current is expected to carry
away the silt and mud instead of de-
posting it at the bend, forming the
shoals. The dixie will, according
TO the ideas of the projectors, prac-
tically do away with the ice jams
which nearly every winter impede
navigation at the bend. Engineers
say the plan is feasible.
