SUCH Is THE VERDICT OF TONO-
PAH PAPER IN SUMMING Up
RECENT DISASTER IN BEL
MONT NINE.

The following from the Tonopah
Bonanza tells the story of the Bel
mont fire in a graphic ann to-
gether with some observations that
are of interest:
Seventeen men have paid the death
penalty as a result of the disaster in
the Belmont mine, according to the
latest reports, and it is believed that
the figure will be considerably in
creased by the time the entire mine
has been searched. These men have
gone, they have paid the price of ex-
perience for the company, and prob
ably paved a way for adequate fire
protection in the future. 1t is more
than probable that legislation will be
passed at the present session that will
compel all mines TO carry sufficient
fire helmets" to obviate a repetition
of the fearful calamity that has put
the entire camp of Tonopah in
mourning. According to the best in
formed, had there been two helmets
either in Tonopah or Goldfield, the
loss of life would have been reduced
to a large extent, and probably no
workman would have crossed the
Great Divide as a result of the small
blaze, whose property loss was
practically nil.
The men who lost their lives were
sacrificed on the altar of greed.
When the fire was noticed in the
shaft of the Belmont mine and was
believed to be so bad that it was
necessary to lower a human cargo OF
20 down the sister shaft of the Des-
ert Queen. work should have been
stopped. If anybody was to brave
the danger of the mine it should have
been some of the "higher-ups'' of the
mine. However. the former course
was pursued and after the mistake
was made every effort vas put forth
by Superintendent Bradshaw and
Foreman Fitzgerald TO reach the i'm
prisoned dead. Roy King of the Bel
mont company also Bonded every eff
fort in the work of rescue. These
three men deserve every possible iota
of credit. Their efforts, while prov
ing vain so far as recovering live
men is concerned, We're noble and
heroic. A vote of thanks is their
due from every citizen of Tonopah,
from every citizen of Nevada. yea
from every citizen of the world.
In the words of Tennyson:
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die"
And die they did, all in the noble
cause of the betterment of mankind.
As there can be absolutely no doubt
but that the good ensuing from this
catastrophe will be of worldwide
benefit TO the mining population.
Shining as a constellation among
the noble band who went down to
death in the disaster is big Bill
Murphy. Sinewy and strong of arm
also noble of intellect big Biz
made W trips through the veritable
Jaws of hell" bringing to the sur
face on each occasion a cargo of
human freight of more value than
1000 Belmont mines. On the third
trip down from which the poor fell
low never returned until brought to
the surface a l~ifeless corpse by fell
low workmen, he was asked if he
could make the trip. Characteristic

No One Killed on Southern Pacific
Railroad in 1910.

Figures compiled by the railroads
show that during 1910 not a single
passenger was killed on the Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific or Southern
Pacific lines in Mexico. a total of H.
500 miles.
During that period there was car
ried on those lines an aggregate OF
49,491,000 passengers. or In other
words, 5000. 00O. 900 passengers
were carried one mile.
This is the result of electric block
signals and other safety devices, and
is believed to have no parallel in the
railroad world.-San Francisco Call.

ON QUESTION Of MANAGERS


The discussion 90 to the relative
merits Of . bench and playing mana

Il believe that before long Ill man.

Hugh McBreen, treasurer Of the BoS.
ton Americans. II think the game Is
coming to that Baseball has gone
ahsad 20 much and como to b 20 fast,
before long the manager will have al
he can do to Ut on the bench and d.
rect the play without attempting to
get upon the coaching lines. Mana
gers must plan ahead. must bs ngur-
Ing out the next play. and upon the
lines they. are apt to lose sight Of
moves ahead they have in their minds
In the immediate duties Of coaching.
D you see q manager coaching at
1drst base one minute and then situ-
alton arises that takes him over to
third base. and it doesn't seem to me
that he can make these moves and at
the same time plan 40 clearly as II
he were on the bench without any
thing to bother him except planning.
Then. again. by sitting on the bench
all the time with the players around
him he is constantly getting their
Ideas and finding out just what they
think of what ought to be done ~
Now, it just happens that the Boston
Americans have q bench manager,
which may or may not influence Nc
Breen's opinion; but at any rate it
is probable that the officials of the
New York, Cincinnati and Brooklyn
clubs in the National league, and Of
the Athletics, Detroit, Chicago, and
Washington clubs. in the American
league would agree with him.

original act provided for the taking
away Of money from the cities and
putting 1t in this direction up here.
Under this bill. the city Of Min
neapolis will pay 80, 900, or the
county Of Hennepin will pay more
than $50, 900, and can only get So
900. As I have said. the thought was
to take away from the stronger coun-
ties and give It to the ones that need
it more. ,sitss@ ~
To Tax State Lands.
'sThe state lands will pay their
just proportion the same as any 9TH
er lands in the state think there
is no harm in assessing the state
lands for their proportion under this
bill. If found necessary, an appro-
priation could be made at the next
session to cover that. This is along
the line of the state auditors policy
and think every one feels that 1t is
only right for the state to pay her
share. It will add to the value Of
her lands more than it will cost
Why not, the same as under the
ditch law? s.
When we vote on one mill tax,
the bill is just as certain to carry as
we are to vote on it.. In place of
$4,000, when that does carry, you
can get $4,000 under this bill, SO
that there is no limit to what you can
do, and in the next three years, IL
you get started. think that will
provide all the money any county
may want, except possibly the three
big counties.
I'm my Judgment, this is the op-
perfume time for northern Minnesota
to show the world what it is going
to do"
Senator Elwell answered several
questions, after which rising vote
of thanks was extended the senator.
Marshall to Cooperate.
G. E. MARSHALL of Cass Lake, SUI
pervisor of the Minnesota national
forests, the only other speaker of the
evening said in part: -.-..
sIf we can get this main trunk road
in now, we can build the laterals from
it. AS far as to what the government
may be expected to do in co-opera-
ton, any thing may say cannot be
taken as official but consider it safe
to say that they will cooperate with
you at any and all times.

viewpoint of a conservationist. The
state of Minnesota at the last session
of the legislature, passed law Gre
ating the state forestry service which
took Minnesota from the bottom to
the top of the list. It is credit to
the state. The bill carries with it an

s'First there is the conviction,
deepening all the while, that the
great business of the church is For
eign Missions. That there should be
in current use distinction between
Home and Foreign Missions is the
Church's shame. The field is the
world. But let us not attempt to
drop the distinction until we have
earned the right to say there is no
difference between Home and Foreign
Missions, until by fidelity to the
great Commission we made the dis
tinction obsolete, until by our render
ed duty there remains no place in all
the world that is foreign territory to
the light and privilege of the Gospel
of Jesus Christ.
Sees Hope for Heather. -
"And growing out of these, with
other things to reinforce it, third
conviction, namely, that there is at
this moment, promise, such as christ
iandom never before imagined, of
world evangelization, immediate and
rapid in. it's progress. One might
mention among the reinforcing con-
siderations, the marked tendency to a
fairer distribution of gifts to christ
ian work. We have been spending
over three hundred millions to give
stereopticon vividness and perative
to the Gospel message as urged upon
the one hundred millions born and
reared in it's light, while less than
twelve millions in money to give just
a candle light glimmer of the story
of Gods love to the six hundred mil
lions born and abiding in the dark
ness of Gospel ignorance. That's not
fair. And the Church is ready to see
and acknowledge and repent.
