MANY DEATHS IN MINE
SEVEN DEAD ALREADY TAK
ES OUT.
From Fifty to Seventy -five Men Are
Still in the Mine, arid All May :
Be Lost Disaster at Kear
earge Mine, Near Vir
ginia City. -
? Butte, Mint., Nov.' B. A die-'
patch to the Inter-Mountain from
Virginia City, Mont., Bays: Seven
are dead, a number more burned
and perhaps scores lost in the un
derground workings of the mine in
a fire which started in the Kear-
earge mine, tituatea at oummit,
night miles from here, this morning.
The known dead are, Superintend
ent R. B.; Turner, of rthe mine,- a
miner named Tobio, and five other
miners, too badly burned to be iJeD-
t fiod. Tnese ' seven bodies have
b-eh" recovered, v Prom 50 to: 75
men are fctill down in the. mine and
may have perished. '
' The plant employed 200 men. .It
is the property of .United States
Senator Millard, ?-f Nebraska, and
was valued at about Sl.OOQ.000
There is no wav to estimate the
loss.'
The fire, 'which? started at7. o'
clock this morning:, "as the shifts
were bsiog changed, , still rages
fiercely: and the . rescuers, hundreds
of wham have gone frooo 'Virginia
City,, will be hampered,, as there'is
no apparatus at the mine. It,, is not
known how the tire started,. .... ..

The total list of dead may not be
known' until the' bodies" -have been
recovered. -AH but those of ' To bin
and Turuer are too badly burned to
be identified. Physicians from
Virginia City, Ennis and other
towns are on the way. If the min
ers known to be in the mine are
deadj' tha list will foot up 10 60 or
75. Some of the rescuers are badly(
burned' " " '
The shafthouse, cyaniding -plant
and tunnel are a total; loss. It is
not known bow badly the workings
of the mines.have been damaged. , -
The workings of the Kearsarge
are such as to afford little ventila
tion and heavy smoke from, the
burning timbers is banging like a
blanket in the mine.-' Should the
fire reach the underground maga
zine a terrific explosion is inevita
ble, which would effectively choke
the workings with debris and , en
tomb the miners almost beyond
hope of rescue, even should they
escape the flames and smoke. . The
amount of dynamite stored under
ground is considered sufficient to
dislodge ; several hundred tons of
rock.' The origin of the fire . is; un
known. ;Later reports indicate that all of
the men in: the mine, with the. ex
ception of the seven burned, escap
ed through, other- workings.-? It . is
possible, however, that several oth
ers fcave perished..; '.The fire was ex
tinguished at two o'clock, and 'for
ces of several hundred workers are
searching the ruins of tbe sbaJt
house," boiler house, blacksri ith
plant and the tunnel for dead and
wounded. It. will not ;be known
for some time, until a roll is" called,
bow many perished. A list of those
burned in the effort to rescue ' the
miners cannot be procured, as eve
ry man available is hard 'at "work
and several of those slightly injur
ed, are in the mine with the . rescu
era. ",",",
Every' po'sible aid is be'iDg rend
ered the rescuers. ' The work is
dangerous, as the ladders into the
workings have all been burned out,
and new platforms will have to be
built. ' ' ' - ; -

Benton Delegates Report r Offcially t
Court About Good Roads Convention.
At last weeks session of the coun
ty court,-the del gat js from Benton, -who.
attended the Good .KoaJa con
vention in Portland, submitted a,
report. Much of the matter is of
interest to the public, and is as fol
lows: J'. . . r, , .
The subjects under discussion of
which we consider of most impor
tance were; The employment of
our convicts on tbe public, highways
national and state aid for the im
provemeut of our highways, tha
relative, value and economy of good
and bad roads. Th rlatioot the ,
road question 10 edtic-1 n, and the
cost, construction uN'iitjdiiiXainanca
of good roads ' .:- .W's-ij .;..,.
"With the preseiit o imposition of
convict labor they are brought iota
direct' communication with free ,
labor.' " ' ..,-
' ' 0 'CONVICTS ON ' ROAD. ' i-7 .
The labor of the convictc of tha
state has been leased to the Loe '
wenberg & Going Company, of Port
land for 35 cents, per , day of tea
hours for each man. The duration
of the lease , of Nthe . convict labor
will eoon expire and some new - ar
rangement lor the employment pf
our convicts must be made, ,, .,i .
Other states are , utilizing their
convict labor in the improvement
of their highways, we believe that
Oiegon should do the" same. In;
tois way their work would b9 of
public benefit and would not as is
the case " come into competition
with free labor. ' ,
; Tbe Hon. M. O. Eldridge of the"
Office Public Road I oquiries Wash
ington D C. showed with the steri- .
optica d how the convicts were
worked 01 the roads in other states.
Views were shown where they were
at work with ball and chain 'atta
ched. Also the portable steel cage
in which they were : enclosed, for
safekeeping at night was shown. A.,

We believe that it would be a;
good moral lesson to tbe youth of,
our ,lands well as the convicts, .
themselves to be made to .work,
where they can be seen. We agree
with.the.Hort. M. 0. Eldridge that N .
it is no more than right as .we en
deavor to mend their ways tq make
them mend our (highways). We'
hope that the nextlegislatUre will
make proper legislation along this
line. v

for the appropriation of $20,000,000

Good roads are of .great- value to
any country:-" There is no "econe

a great deal mora than the interest
