Bruce T.

Where there are no such laws, MT. Bullion appeals to the citizens of the towns to eliminate fireworks as a patriotic duty, because the present high prices and critical conditions should prohibit the waste of money which would be needlessly consumed in fireworks; to prevent the annual destruction of property on July 4; to conserve the material used in fire works for war purposes, and to rem der it impossible for al;en enemies or pyromaniacs to destro! property by fire, seeking cover in the July cele- brationS.

FIFTY BODIES HAVE BEEN RECOI- FRED, 148 MEN MISSING-REs-
 CUERS ABANDON HOPE.
MORE THAN 200 ESCAPED
Flames Broke Out in the Night, Start ing From Broken Power Cable That Carried Electricity-Warning
 Was Given Promptly.

Butte, Mont.-With 50 known dead and 14S others still missing, Butte wrestled with the worst mine disas- ter in it's history.
 Fifty bodies had been recovered from the Speculator and Granite Mountain properties of the North Butte Mining Company and hope of fiding alive the 14S missing men has virtually been abandoned.
 Fire broke out in the lower levels of the mine, starting from a broken power cable that carried electricity to the underground pumps. Lower levels of the mine quickly filled with smoke and gas.
 There were 415 men on the night shift. Of these 213 escaped through levels connecting with other mines. The gas spread to the Diamond Mine of life in that property.
 Helmet men, mine rescue crews and safety first squads from all the mines in Butte undertook to penetrate the gas-filled workings of the Speculator, the Diamond and High Ore mines in the hope of rescuing other miners.
 The fire, which started on the 2,400-. foot level, spread quickly, cutting off the escape of men on lower levels. Dense smoke retarded rescue work.
 Miners from adjoining properties, ordered up from underground as 2 precaution, went to work as rescuing gangs aiding national guardsmen who had been called to the scene. They were able to do little.
 Warning of theft danger came soon enough to permit men on the level to escape. They immediately formed rescue parties and attempted to go down the shaft to the men believed entombed, but failed.
 Joseph Coffemetten and John Boyce, who were the first two men to be taken from the shaft alive, told how they cheated death by cutting the air hose and sucking the air by turns un- til the rescue party arrived They were on the 700 foot level at the out break of the fire.
 According to miners who escaped from the shaft, the fire started from flames of a carbide lamp.
 The men were ordered to report to the timekeeper as they emerged from the mine.
 Two men who were working on the roc foot level reported that AS had perished on the level where they work ed, they alone being saved.
 All ambulances in Butte and all physicians in the city were summon- ed to the mine to cooperate with the rescue parties. Every safety-irst ex- pert in the district has also been sum- moned.
