SIX GROUND TO DEATH.
Miners Are Cut to Shreds While As

BUTTE, Mont. Sept. 4.-Caught In
a vortex of whirling steel drills while
being hoisted to the surface of a
mine cage FIVE miners met shocking
death in the shaft of the Black Rock
mine OF the Butte-Superior yesterday.
A sixth miner, James Lee, died a few
hours later in the hospital.
In their anxiety to reach the sur.
face the workmen jumped on cage
on which dull steel was being taken
to the surface. II is presumed that
in their crowding the men .dislodged
the steel shafts from the box in
which they were held and they
caught In the wall plates on the sides

they bounded back and forth and fin
ally sweeping them into the dump
/ 400 feet below. Charles Green, sta
ton tender, was hurled from the up
per deck of the cage to the lower lev
Ell by the impact when the brakes
were applied and was decapitated as
were all the other miners with the
exception of Lee, whose head was
smashed to a pulp.
Thomas Dennihay, station tender.
pleaded with the miners not to board
the cage, as the act was in violation
OF the company's rules.
II Is conjectured that the steel be-

AT the time Of my resignation In

By Associated Press.

 WASHINGTON D. C., July To- The hot, dry weather has wrought something akin to havoc among the crops. was the statement of Profes- sor \. C. Murray, chief of the crop bureau, tonight. The July report re- fleets rather serious effects from the drought of June, the most impor- tant crops showing a condition below the last and previous five years average. Foodstuffs, oats and hay seem to have been the hardest hit. The corn average is the largest ever recorded but the condition of the crops is far below the average. The potato crop is unusually short the average price in the United States July first, being ninety-three cents per bushel. Wheat alone will be up in average of tolal production
