FIRE TRAPS "A
IN HECLA MINE
AT BURKE, IDA.
Miners Are Caught Below
800 Foot Level-Hun-
dred Men Escape.

WALLACE. Idaho, April "a
Fire broke out at 11:10 o'clock last
night in the Heela mine trapping
seventeen men. Three were brought
out alive from the 1000 foot level
later during the night. A crew
numbering ABOUT 100 escaped leav-
ling fourteen caught below the 1000
foot level.
A reporter returning from the
mine today expressed hope that the
IA men will be rescued and said
they are in the star workings two
miles from the main shaft of the
Hecla. The air compressors are
working to clear the star workings
of gas and smoke that might have
penetrated to the miners. 1t is de-
clared the miners are not greatly
imperiled If they are in the star
workings. 1t is predicted the fire
will be confined to the Hecla proper
and starting of the fire pumps this
morning will soon bring the fire
under control.
The fire started on the 1000 foot
level at the base of the main shaft.
A pump man left the station and
found the plant ablaze when he re-
turned in 10 minutes. The star
workings extend laterally from the
main shaft.
| Fire in the Hecla which is at
Burke. Idaho. In July, 1923, de-
stroyed the surface workings Sew
eral hundred men escaped and nc
loss of life was reported.
The town of Burke and Mace
were nearly destroyed by the high
wind which whipped the flames, of
unknown origin, up the narrow
canyon containing the two towns.
The three men rescued were over
come by gas and smoke but they
soon revived. They turned on the
airline when the fire started and
lay close to it breathing They knew
nothing about the fourteen men.
The fire was still raging fiercely
at o'clock this morning.
The pumpman is called the hero
because he led all miners to safety
with the exception of the three
who were overcome and finally res
cued and the IA men still in the
mine.

BE A BOOSTER

eff you live and do business in a
town, for heavens sake be loyal to
it. If this town furnishes you with
food and shelter, boost it; speak well
of it; stand by it, and stand by the
industries it represents. If put to a
pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth
ton of clever knocking. If you
must Witty, condemn and eternauy
disparge, pack your trunk and get
out, and when you are on the out
side, knock to your hearts content.
But as long as you are part of
community, be real man; do not
condemn it. If you do you are
loosening the tendrils that hold you
as part of the community, and
when the first high wind comes along
you will be uprooted and blown far

WHO PUT THE FIRE OUT;
No. OR No. 2 OR BOTHs
Banner Ordered To Refrain From
Publishing Hope Hose News.

Considerable comment has been
heard the past week on all sides, par
ticularly at this Office, about the ar
ticle which appeared in last weeks
issue regarding the fire at Magnolia
and Front streets on Sunday night
last.
This article charged that someone,
an official, was lacking in his duties
in having the pumps attached to the
LaFrance pumper, of Beverly Fire
Company No. connected to the
plugs. The pumps were not attach
ed for over fifteen minutes after ar
irving at the scene of the blaze.
This we have learned was due to As
sistant Chief A. E. Cramer who was
in charge, and he, remembering the
disastrous fire, which resulted in the
changing from the plug to the
pumps, at Warren and VanSciyer
streets, some time ago, told the driv-
err of No. l to stand by as No. 2 had
the fire under control. 1t was after
this that the pumps were ordered in
to action, just as an extra precau-
ton. Assistant Chief Cramer charges
that the proper facilities for connect
ing the pumps to the plugs are lack
ing in the department and if such
is the case it should be remedied at
once.
The Banner" has also been accus-
sed of showing partiality to No. l
Fire Company. This statement is I'M
true, as we publish facts as we find
them. 1t is our earnest desire to act
in conjunction with both companies,
but due to certain members of Hope
Hose Company, our desire is not al
lowed to function.
We were notified by B. Warren
Dewson that no article was to APP
pear in the Banner" concerning No.
2, unless duly authorized by himself
or some other member of the publ
city committee, which is composed of
three men. We assured Mr.. Dewson
that we would cooperate with the
committee in every way and in doing
this, in strictly adhering to the wish
es of Hope Hose Company No. 2, ex-
plains just why the company was
not given the credit that was due
them at the recent fire.

WHAT HAPPENED TO
THE SALVAGE CORP

The Beverly Salvage Corp seems
to be thing of the past. Council
this year appropriated $4,000 for
this cause. and what has it been used
for?
The Salvage Corp truck is laying
in j. E. Hammell & Sons barn, a
wreck. Why not spend the $4,000
and have it fixed up, if that is posi-
BILE, or better still, why not turn the
truck back to the City Council and
let the city take care of it.
This truck at one time belonged
to the City of Beverly and under
the commission form of government,
it was sold to the Salvage Corp for
the sum of one dollar, and was used
by this body of men for various pur-
poses.
When the Council form of govern
ment came into its own, they offered
to take back the truck and buy a
new chassis for it, but the Salvage
Corp wanted the truck fixed but still
claim ownership. AS it is today, we
are without either.
