on through the blinding snow storm
rticl crashed into the express train
ahead, the sjmllptBI having failed tu
the driving snow to see the danger sig
nal which the fust train had sent back.
The parlOT car in the rear of the first
train was literally cut in two. When
Knglnen Prank Kajrrooad and his lire
man escaped from the wreck they
CrawLtt! out through the windows of the
parlor car. Fire added to the horrors
ol the wreck, coals from the furnace of
the shattered engine having fallen
among the debris of the splintered coach
anil soon the whole wreck waa ablaze.

place the wreck occurred and who was
one id the first to render any aasistance
to the imperiled passengers, is uuite
sure that at least three women were
binned in the wreck. Wheu he reached
the car. Haines were crin kling through
the splintered wisulwork of the car at
one end , while at the other end a
cloud of blistering steam was i uing
f nun the locomotive, which had rips'd
the . on. b oieu from end to eud. On
every side were men uud women cry
ing for assistance.
Mr. Boat's first act waa to pull from
the wreck a woman whose legs were
atickiug out through a broken window.
She waa uot badly hurt. By the time
hia had been accomplished, other pas-
ugers from the forward coaches had
ome back and helped out .ill of those
in the burning car who could bu
reached.
Mr. Itost states that he saw the body
of one woman jammed in the roof of
the burning coach, and that it waa uot
reached by the rescuers.
The body of another woman was con
sumed lu full view of the paascugcre
who gathered alsuit the wrcik. Mr.
Host and others tried to drag her out,
but she was pinned under heavy wreck
age. Mr. Host says the young woman
waa apparently dead, as he reached
her hand and there was uo rosuau to

Newspapers and private Is Iters re

hat considerable prospecting was car
led on this winter. Many miners have
xn idea that at and below low water
tbe rich ann wM be found.
Therefore, a. soon as the ice waa loU
ly frozen to the bottom ol the shore
they bejan prospecting to solve a
much-vexed question a. to tha origin ol
the gold in the beach sands. PW
nj in the tundra wsrrante the belief
that it is impregnated with gold much
in tbe same manner as the beach.
Tundra prospecting, the advices say,
had not been carried on extensively,
owing to the difficulty encountered in
siuking to bedrock on account of water.
The ground freezes to an unknown
depth, tbe same as in the Klondike,
and if it should prove rich an area of
cuintrv will he developed that will DOj

A Department ot Mines.
A new cabinet officer, to be known
as the secretary of mines and mining,
ia provided in u bill favorably acted ou
by the house committee on mines aud
mining. The bill creates an executive
department, which shall have entire
charge of affairs relating to mines, in
cluding geological surveys.
The propoaad secretary of mines is
to have the same rank aud salary as
other cabinet officers, aud an assistant
secretary.
Another mining measure favorably
acted uiasn establishes mining experi
ment stations in each of the mining
states, similar to the agriculture ex
periment stations, and provides for the
appointment of a government geologist
at 3,500 aud au assayer at 2,500, In
the several mining statea. These offi
cers are to furnish assays, issue public
bulletins and conduct explorations of
milling regions.
Mining mauy years ago left the realm
of speculation aud now occupies a dig
nified aud imp "taut position among
the legitimate industries of the world.
Aa the years pass gambling, as a fea
ture of mining enterprises, is fast dis
appearing. While gambling in mining
stocks may coutiuue indefinitely, the
miuiug indiistries.per se, isaa free from
illegitimate practices as in anv other
business. Henci it should receive the
same interest, fostering care and pro
tection, at the hands of the general and
local governments, as do other industries.
