MINE EXPLOSION
Spreading Gas Believed to
Have Taken Heavy Toll
of Lives

Butte, Mont, June 9.-With at
least thirty-five men dead and 167
others missing as the result of a fire
which broke out in the Speculator
copper mine last night, Butte wres-
tied to-day with the worst mine dis
aster in its history.
The fire broke out in the lower
levels of the mine late last night.
starting from a broken power cable
that carried electricity to the under
ground 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,
and it was feared took a further toll
of lie in that property.
Helmet men, mine rescue crews
and safety first squads from all the
mines in Butte undertook to pene-
trate the gas-flled working of the
Spectator, the Diane ond and high
ore mines in the hope of rescuing
other miners. Officials said that if
the 167 missing miners had been
able to make their way to the high

Gen. Pershing Received
by King George at
Buckingham Palace
BY Associqtcf Prcss

London, June General PERISH
ing was received this morning at
buckingham Palace by King George.
he was presented to the king by Lord
Brooke, commander of the Twelfth
Canadian infantry brigade.
General Pershing was accompanied
to the palace by his personal staff of
twelve officers. After the audience
the officers paid a formal call at the
United States embassy.
Detailed stories of the landing of
General Pershing and his party at
Liverpool and the arrival in London
fill large part of the leading news
columns in the morning papers Ar
rangem ents for the stay of the Amer
leans in England, plans for the fu-
ture, biographies and portraits of the
American general and pictures of his
reception in Liverpool crowd the
news from the front into second
place.
The editorials, while welcoming
General Pershing personally, dwell
particularly upon the significance of
the arrival of the American advance
guard as symbol of "perhaps the
greatest of all the great events in the
midst of which we are living-so Wis
IDLY great that none can pretend 20
foresee what the full harvest will be
for the English-speakiDg world and
the sacred doctrines it accepts. -
Emphasis is also laid on the GER
tainty of ultimate victory which
American cooperation is believed TO
insure. A typical expression of this
confidence reads:
Ours is the burden of to-day, but
the burden is made light by the
knowledge that the cooperation CT
the United States insures the glory
of the two"

Death Takes Terrible
Toll of AUiatorS

notices in the German papers indi-
cate what a terrible toll the western
battle is taking among German avia-
tors. Scarcely an issue of the Ber-
lin, Hamburg or other papers which
circulate among officers. appears
without at least two to three and of
ten eight or ten notices of deaths in
the flying corps.
Death notices of submarine off,
GERS are as rare as those of flyers are
frequent. For several weeks none
has been noticed in the Berlin and
Hamburg papers and it is possible
that the admiralty has prohibited
their publication.
