All the dead but three are foreign

The explosion was slight as evil

or excitement.
Neither mine officials nor mine
inspectors are able to ascertain the
cause OF the explosion as there are
no survivors from which to gain
an explanation but it is the gen be-

pocket of gas
The shaft is known as a non gas

Driven Into Water,

THE most terrible fire occurred
isst Tuesday In the morning we
could see it approaching twenty
five miles away as it swept through
the dry musk egg underhrush and
the forests, driven by a gale blowing
fifty miles an hour, and il soor
reathed the mining towns The
flames rose a hundred feet or more
into the air as they came toward
us in leaps measuring several hun
dred yards.
I feel greatly alarmed for the
men and women scattered around In
the district Many cases are known
of persons being drowned IN the
lakes to which they fled to escape
the heat and Flames. 1t must be
that many of these who jumped into
Porcupine Lake or put out in canoes
perished, because Of the gale.
In one mining shaft twenty
seven persons lost their lives, one OF
them being Robert Weiss, a mining
engineer of Butte, Mont, who went
down into the shaft with his wife
daughter, several women neighbors
and miners as the last resort to es-
cape the fire.
Nothing but ruins are left of the
towns of South Porcupine and Potts
Vile; it took the flames but half an
hour Tuesday to clean out one To-
eality Aura Lake and Golden City,

ment Railroad enters the Porcupine
