TWO HUNDRED MEN
TRAPPED IN MINES
BLAZE IN BUTTE PROPERTY
CAUSES GREATEST DISASTER
IN HISTORY or CAMP.
Fire Started In 24oo-foot Level and
Shaft was Soon a Roaring Chin
ney, Men Having No Chance
of Escape from Flames.

Butte, Mont.-At least 200 miners
met death In the Spectator and Gran
itc Mountain mines Of the North Butte
Mining company, on June 8, as the
result Of d fire In the mines.
When the fire was discovered AZ
| men were in the mines. OF this num-
/ Der, 222 were rescued from one prop
| erty and 60 from the other. Hope OF
finding any Of the missing men alive
| has been abandoned.
The fire started on the 2400 level
when carbide lamp came in contact
with insulation on an electric cable.
The Granite Mountain shaft caved in
for considerable distance.
The city has gone into mourning.
Flags are at half-mast and all public
;tmuscments have been suspended be-
cause of the disaster.
Twenty-seven men, rescued alive
from the 2400-foot level of the Specli-
lator mine, owe their lives to the
heroism and resourcefulness of Manus
Duggan, a 20-year-old nipper, or tool
boy. Young Duggan, displaying rare
presence of mind, showed his older
fellow workers how to bulkhead them
selves from the dangerous gas and
preserve their lives until their rescue.
The Granite Mountain shaft, $500
feet deep, was soon roaring chimney,
and with the destruction of its sup
porting timber's the ground was cav
Ing, compelling all work to be directed
from the levels connected with adj
joining mines.
The Spectator, another shaft about
800 feet distant, connects with the
Granite Mountain on the different
levels.
That shaft also was in danger, as
water from the levels was running
into it and had caved portion, There
was no fire in this shaft, however.
Tons Of water was poured into the
Granite Mountain shaft and from
points on connecting levels with ad-
joining mines as near as it Is possible
to get to the scene of the accident.
1t is believed that the mine damage
will exceed $1,000,000
While the morgues were being filled
with bodies, dozen or more men over

self by first aid methods and dozen
more were removed to hospitals for
treatment.
The fire, which started on the 2400-
foot level, communicated quickly to
smoke, which poured from the shaft
in great clouds, retarded rescue work
Miners from adjoining properties, or
dered up from underground as a pre-.
caution, went to work as rescuina
gangs, aiding national guardsmen, who
had been called to the scene.

FLOWER OF NATION
LISTED FOR DRAFT
MORE THAN TEN MILLION YOUNG
AMERICANS ENROLLED FOR
WAR SERVICE.
The Manhood of United States obeys
the Presidents Call, Registration
Being 100 Per Cent, Spontaneous
and Without Murmur.

Westinghouse than 100000
| young Americans enrolled themselves
on June 5 for war service. Regis
tration day, with but az few weeks Of
preparation, saw the first military CEN
sus ever taken in the United States
completed without single untoward
event of consequence.
The manhood of the nation obeyed
the presidents call and volunteered in
mass, setting at naught all the schemes
and plottings of German sympathizers
and the few cranks who have agitated
against registration. 1t remains but
to select the men who are to 90 to the
front.
In some precincts the late corners
forced officials to keep the polls open
until long after the 0 p. M closing hour
set in the regulations. General Crow
der authorized them to keep open as
long as men wished TO enroll them
selves. The result will be further to
delay the transmission of returns,
however.
A feature of the registration was the
refusal of hundreds of thousands Of men
to make any reply to the question:
DO you claim exemption?" Even men
who reported that they had dependent
families; men with obvious physical
disabilities and those whose occupa.
tons are certain to keep them at home
declined to make such claim. An
parently they have entered fully into
the very spirit of the law. They are
content to leave the question OF ex-
emption to the exemption boards.
Tuesdays registration included only
continental United States. Alaska and
Hawaii will record their fighting men
on dates to be set later and the roll
of Americans now abroad who are be-
sieging consulates all around the world
for registration cards will add to the
great list. The state department was
called upon for additional cards by the
thousands.
Few eleventh hour rulings were
found necessary. The system devised
by General Crowder of invoking the
political machinery of the nation in
the task, worked with smoothness
that spoke of perfect cooperation by
state, county and municipal officials.
Only four arrests were officially re-
ported to the department of justice
at Hamilton, Ohio, Hartford, Conn,
Richmond. Va, and at a small place
near st. Louis.

BIG ARTESIAN FLOW
ON EAGLE ISLAND

four-inch artesian well on Eagle
island flowing a steam of water suf-
ficient to irrigate 80 acres of land has
just been completed on property own
cd by Edward Stein. Leslie Shell
worth, who drilled a number of wells
on the island, drilled the one from
which such a large flow of water was
secured. 1t is said by those familiar
with the flows from artesian wells
that the one recently struck on the
stein ranch flows the largest volume
OF water of any in the valley.
Drilling for artesian water in that
vicinity has been going on for two
years. During 1915 eight wells were
sunk in the vicinity of Liader station
on both sides of the river and Oh
Eagle island and all of them have
given forth a good flow of pure water
John RAIDER, formerly in the shoe
puosness in Boise, put down two wells
on his ranch on the island, and others
owning property have done the same
and secured good flows. They have
piped the water into their houses,
barns and yards and also use it for
irrigation purposes. Both the wells
on the RAIDER ranch had good flows
but were only three inches in dia-
meter. The we'll on the Stein prop
erty is four inches and flows almost
double the amount of water than the
best well on the RAIDER ranch.
