$50 MISSING in COAL
NINE EXPLOSION

MANCHESTER, England. Dec 81
Two hundred and eighty nine ont of
500 men working in the Little Hull
ton companys Pretoria mine near
Leigh and Bedford, are believed to
nave been killed in an explosion and
the works are veritable blast furn-
ace.
Twenty bodies have been removed
and eleven men have been rescued.
The explosion was terrific and It
Is believed that its force and the
fire which burst out almost imme-
diately afterward, have demolished
the interior workings.
The only men who escaped were
leaving the mine just as the accident
occurred. Heartrending scenes are
being enacted about the pit month
Only with the greatest difficulty can
the relatives and friends of the vic
tins be restrained from hurline
themselves into the burning shaft.
The explosion injured the cages
and interfered with the ventilating
apparatus, thus rendering rescue
work almost impossible.
The cause of the disaster has not
been determined. Mine officials
hope that some of the men may have
escaped to a gallery which is not
burning and walled themselves in.
This, it is believed, is the only
chance that any one in the mine has
to escape death.
A roll call by sections this after
noon showed list of $50 missing,
but it is believed that many reported
missing men are safe with friends,
but have not yet been located. 1t
probably will be several days before
the extent of the disaster is learned,
as the shaft and converging tunnels
are choked with debris.
Among the dead is Assistant Man
ager Rushton, who perished while
leading a party of rescuers. Rush
ton was not provided with the oxy-
gen helmet and succumbed to the
noxious gases following the explo-
sion.

BLACK SAND OF OCEAN
BEACH PROVES RICH

The editor of the Globe had the
pleasure a few days ago of being
courteously shown through the gold
saving plant of the Idaho Blacksand
Gold Extracting company, located
about one mile below town on the
beach.
The power house and the large
building that houses the large vats
and gold-saving devices are built
high on the bluff, the power house
standing some distance away from
the other building. Adjoining the
power house and on the same level
a platform is being built, where the
sand will be hauled up on long
slip from the beach in a large metal
lie bucket. On this platform the
black sand will be separated from
the grey. The black sand is carried
from here in sluice boxes back to a
large tank, which is built on the
beach by the side of the treating
house. From here 1t is elevated in
buckets that are attached to an end
less chain or belt, into the large re-
ceiving tank in the building. Here
it receives its first treatment, which
requires from IL to "a hours time.
From this tank 1t is sluiced to an
other on the second level. On this
level there are several tanks all
alike which will be filled from tank
one. After all the tanks are filled
which requires a day for each tank,
and giving four or five days treat
ment in the solution that dissolves
all the fine gold, the solution is
drained off and pumped back to a
small tank on the first level. The
sand is then conveyed by sluice
boxes to another tank OF chemicals
and from there to level No. 3, where
it goes over a wide table and into
separating machines. These ma
chimes are about 8 II feet in diameter
and are about that high. They
(there are three) resemble a stack
of metallic wash tubs, set one in
another, with a revolving top, more
than anything else we can compare
them to. Inside Of these machines
are placed copper plates, over which
the sand runs. The sand enters the
machine at center OF the top, works
to the outer edge of the revolving
plate and back to the center again
over a similar one, etc. There will
be 200 pounds Of quicksilver in each
machine. Adjoining this plant Mr.
Johnson has chemical room, where
he will retort the gold, make tests OF
sand and assays of ores. The entire
plant will be run by electricity, which
will be generated at the plant by
means of a 90-horse-power gasoline
engine.
The company has cleaned out and
repaired the old mining ditch
through Cunniff's pasture, bringing
water to the plant high enough for
all purposes. They will soon be
in readiness to commence moving
the sand in a systematic way, as
never before attempted in Curry
county. II this process proves sue
cessful, as the most doubtful now
believe It will, there will be more
wealth taken out Of the COLDER
fringe on the western border Of
Curry county than all the combln'
ed wealth Of the entire state OF Ore
gon.-Gold Beach Globe.

Originating in the pious desire of our forefathers to make public acknowledgment of their faith in the overruling and directing provi- dence of God, it has, in the course of time, grown to be one of our great national holidays in which all our peo- pie, of whatever religious antecedents or beliefs, in whose hearts are found the spirit of thanksgiving, gladly par ticipate.
 In accordance with the proclama- tion of the president of the United States, and following the precedents of the past, in recognition of the good ness and mercy of Almighty God in bestowing upon us as a people pros perity, peace and happiness.
 Now, therefore, I, Richard E. Sloan, Governor of the Territory of Arizona, do hereby proclaim and recommend Thursday, the twenty-fourth day of November, nineteen hundred and ten, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed as such fttingly and appropriately, but as the conscience of each citizen may approve.
 In witness whereof, have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the Territory of Arizona to be affixed.
