COALDALE COAL
DEVELOPMENT
Is PROGRESSIVE

H.. A. Darms, the coal magnate,
is UP from Coaldale today and is
exhibiting samples of Ignite coal
that is being mined in the property
he represents. A hosting plant has
been erected and the shaft is now
down 800 feet. From the bottom
level crosscut has been run and
p feet of bituminous vein matter
entered. One vein is eight feet
wide and contains coal that is al,
most equal to the Rock Springs
product. Mr.. Darms says they are
now sinking another hundred feet
and when the veins are cut in the
400 crosscut he expects the deposits
on the 800 level to have widened
to 30 feet 1t now looks as if
we will be consuming fuel mined
from the Sagebrush state.

ONLY A FEW REMAIN TO
TELL The AWFUL STORY
Those Who Survived Disaster Line to Ans
wer Roll Call Fifty Bodies Are Recovered
From Wreck of French Battleship

TOULON, France, Sept. PA
thin ships company was drawn up
on the deck of the battleship Suf,
fren this morning to answer to the
roll-call of the crew of the ill-fated
Liberte, which was destroyed by an
explosion and fire yesterday
The survivors of the disaster, with
the exception of those in the hos.
pital, are temporarily Quartered on
the sister ship. When the name
of an absent one was called, some
of his comrades responded dead, :"
hospitaled' or missing"
The search of the wreckage of the
battleship continued throughout the
night with the aid of great torches.
Occasionally a launch drew away
from the Illuminated spot in the
harbor, disappeared in the dark
ness to reappear presently at the
pier with its load of wounded for
the hospitals and dead for the NOR
tuary.
During the night so bodies were
recovered and eight wounded men
were rescued from that part Of the
vessel that remained exposed when
the hull sank. These men had been
pinned in the ruins from IS to 26
hours. Most of them were insensi-
BILE from pain.
Lieutenant Aubert, son of Vice
Amiral Aubert, commander of the

In the latter case, Reeves was

ant GARNER replied.
The petty officer saluted an with
out further question returned to
his post.
Lieutenant GARNER perished in
the destruction of his ship.
Captain Jaures visited the wreck
this morning and then spent the
rest of the day at the bedsides
of the wounded sailors. A number
of these continue unconscious, due
probably to the fumes of burning
powder which they had inhaled un-
til they may never recover their
senses.
The immense force of the explo,,
sion is shown by the fact that the
turret Of one of the 12-inch guns
was Wrenched from it's base and
thrown upward Afterwards it
plunged downward like a great pro-
iectile forward of amidships, cleav-
ing the warship in two.
The steel bridge weighing many
tons was blown from it's supports
and crashed through one side of the
warship, cutting the steel flank as
|if that fang was made of wood.
The causes of the disaster con-
tinue to be discussed with anima-
ton among the officers and men of
the fleet. Whatever may have start
ed the fire aboard the Liberte, ii
was pointed out, might equally well
fire any ship in the French navy. IF
the vital cause of the tragedy was
the chemical change in the powder
so that by the mere lapse of time
| it began to burn, not a life aboard
any warship, it was argued, would
be secure The general discussion
of this vital institution, it is be-
lieved will result in an inyestiga-
ton of most searching and rigid
nature.
The opinion OF experts is general
ly against the theory of spontaneous
combustion, yet no other adequate
cause is put forward.
Judgment, it is declared, should
be suspended until the searching
official inquiry is completed
