CAR'S WILD LEAP. O.rrl.rt HO to riill,-TliMB Hcor. r. Inliirril. Mini kuum. Oth. iacoma, July fi. Nearly 100 pooplo, pnssengorH on a car bound for this city, wero plunged down a gulch at Twenty ixth and 0 streets, hhortly aftci 8 o olock yesterday morning. Tboso who wero standing on tho platform dropped off only to bu crushed mid wonndod by the heavy body of tho coach, whllo oth ers insldo wero killed and maimed be fore thoy know what had happened, i bo car jumped thu track aud wai smashed to kindling wood in tho bot tom of tho cIiiihiii over 1U0 feot below. Tho dead will number nearly three score, for thorn aro many of tho injured who will never recover and who aro expocted to dio at any moment and there aro nt least 00 of tho passengers of tho car now in the various hospitals and under tho euro of their own physi cians. Tho car which carried its human freight into a dcop ravino instead of to thu city wan No. 110, of tho United Traction Company's cars, and was on tho Kdlson lino. It loft Kdison at about 8 o'clock, in ohargo of F. U lioehn, motorman, and J. I). Calhoun conductor. Tho car, which ia one oi tho big box-liko affairs, was crowded to tho doors, and every inch of spaco on the platforms was takon. Men bung on tho railings, and woro glad to bo ablo to get a rldo to tho city, for, like thoso inside, thoy woro anxious to arrive oarly, so as not to miss any of tho Indepomlonco day oxoroisos. Tho car ran moderately along, tho passengers chatting with each othar, for they woro noarly all acquainted, and everything was pleaBatit until It reach ed tho crost of tho hill juBt beyond Tacoma avonuo. From this point the torlea differ. Ono is that tho motor man, after starting down tho hill, turned on ills current instead of shut ting it off, and when tho car had gained such a momentum as to throaton to got nway from him, ho turned off tho cur rent, but it was then too latu, for tho car was going at lightning spued, and thero wiih nothing to bring it to a standstill, for tlio incline is stcop. l'liHsengers on tho front platform, who saw tho sharp curve on tlio bridgo as it loaves DoLin street, endeavored to jump. Several of them succeeded, aud reauhod tho ground in safely, but oth ers woro as badly injured as thoy infant bavo been had thoy renlainod on tho car to tho bottom of the chasm. Whole tho car went off thore is as sharp ourvo, at tho foot of a stoep grade. As the car struck tho curve, instead of following tiio rails, it whirled completely over and pitched from the bridge, striking on its top, tho hoavy trucks and body of tho car crashing tho frail uppor works to splintors mid smashing down upon tho mass of men, women and children, with which the car was loaded. It was ono of tho most appalling ac cidents that has over occurred in this city, and it camo at a time when it was least expocted. Here wero happy poo plo, residents of the noarhy towns, Kd ison, Lakoviow, l'arkland, Lake Park and other places, coming to Tacoma full of joy ami patriotism to spend tho Foutth of July. Thoir journey was nearly at an end whou death interfered, and claimed them as his own in a most frightful m a no or. Crushed, maimed aud mangled, the unfortuuatcs were dragged from beneath tho wrock of the car, und kind hands ministered to them until conveyances could bo had to carry thorn to hosptals and to the homo: of thoir friends. Tho dead woro laid on tho grass, but thero woro few in tho crowds of spectators and tescuers who gathorod at tho scelio at that timo who know which woro dead and which woro living. Such n spectacle of battered, mutilated bodies is soldom seen. A member of tho First Washington vol- unteors, who has played a part on many battlo fields in tho Philippines, said ho had never witnessed such a sight. FOUR CHILDREN KILLED. T.rrlbla Effect, of nn ICxplmlou of Firework. Philadelphia, July 5. A blank cart ridge flrod at close rango by a small colorod boy into n largo collodion of firoworks of a highly explosivo char acter yosterday, cost tho lives of ft children, tho probablo death of three othors, and severe burns and lacera tions to 20 othor persons, only two of whom woro adults. The dead are: Carmel Dianuo, aged 11 years; Charles Feruzzl, aged 11 years; two unideuti fiod childrou. Those who will pronab lv die aro: Isabel Deritos, aged 8; Jounlo Diano, aged 5; Frank Naccitro, agod 0. Tho explosion occurred in front of a small shop of Antonio Mammerollo, on Eighth Btreot, in the most thickly pop nintiwi annUmi. Tho fireworks wero on a stand on the pavement, ami consistod largely of giant tirocraoKors, lorpeuoes, rookets and "chasers." A orowd of ohildron wero clustered around tho stand. A colored boy. Isaiah Harris, was seen to point the pistol in tho di recton of tho firoworks and fire. Tho fnrnn nf the oxnlosiou which followed shattorod the windows of many stores and residences in tho vicinity, and tho sooue was covered by a dense smoko. Whon this lifted, the forms of moro than a scoio of ohildron wore found lying on the street, burnod and blood ing. The owuor of the firoworks was arrested. Following the explosion, tho police confiscated abont three wagon loads of fireworks in tho neighborhood. The Fourth nt Washington. Wnnhlnnton.

The Tost-Intell!-goncor has tho following special nows from Kkagway: Tiio first news of the season from tho romoto American mining camps of tho lower Yukon has justcome outtoSkag way. LntoBt arrivals report n now ntriko 100 milos back of Circlo City, on three crooks known as Faith, Hopoand Char ity, which ompty into tho Tanana. A now striko is also reportod on Walker's fork of tho Forty-Mile, which was onco before staked. A stampode has resulted, and others have rushed in and re-staked tho country. Fine pay has been struck on n num bor of claims not horetuforo considered payors. Kurolca, struck last summer, has proved a wondor so far, and has a pay streak 80 feet wido mid four feet doop. It is expected Kuroka will this year yiold !) 1, 600,000. The Uaiujiart Camp. Col. Wiggln bolioves tho Rampart camp is as good as tho crook camp of Nomo, and thinks many of tho overflow nt Nomo will push up tho rivor to Rampart aud holp make it a big pro ducer. Ho has the belief thoro is gold in Koyukuk, but feels that tho develop ments aro scarcely enough yet to war rant great faith in tho camp. How ever, from all sources como tho report that many are rushing into Koyukuk. K. G. Lonont, who has just arrived from Forty-Milo and othor promising American camps, reports the clean-up on Jack Wado this spring has boon demonstrative of a good camp. Tho creok is scarcely prospected, yot No. 7 bolow upper discovery yielded $80,000 at this year's clean-up. Lenont pre dicts a great future for the oroek, and estimates the output for next season at $2,000,000. He is going after thawing mnchinory for tho creok. He has nugget from tho creek weighing six ounces aud worth $110. Gold of Jack Wade, also of Rampart, is worth $19 an ounce. Jack Wade gold is mostly in nuggets. Ei-Onr. McOrnw'. Rich Claim. Of those who have been among the most successful is tho man who is working the claim of ex-governor John II. McGraw, of Washington, known as No. 8, on Little Manook. It yielded the last winter $80,000 of which $8,000 or $9,000 was nuggots picked out from tho pay dirt by hand. Last year Mc Graw thought ho had workod out tho pay streak. No. 0, on Little Manook, this winter yielded $60,000. No. 7, on tho same creok, gave $40,000. Nos. 21, 22 and 23, Little Manook, jr., produced $60, 000. Iloosier and Rig Manook have also proved rich. Hillside property on Dig Manook has yielded as high as $9 to tho pan. Idaho bar, on which a rich discovery was mado in 1898, was all staked ut that time, but not much was taken out and tho dump was not washed becar of scarcity of water, but has been re staked. RICH COPPER STRIKE. Good Valuei on Old Claim In a llrltlah Columbia Camp. Phoenix, fi. C, July 0. An im portant ore striko has bcon made on the War Eagle claim in this camp. The striko occurred in tho west drift of the 100-foot level, about 17C foot from the shaft, whero a raiso was being driven. Tho ore body dipped a little to the east and was followed 11 foot, when the workmen wont back and continued work on the raiso. Up to date the men have gono through 25 feot of clean chalcopyrite oro and havo not reached the furthor wall. The width of tho ore body, theroforo, has not been deter mined. Resident Manager Buck has had an average tost made of tho new striko, aud received satisfactory re turns, the ore running over $20 in oop per and $1.60 gold. COMING TO THE FRONT. Toroda Crook Mines Again Attracting Attention. Republio, Wash., July 9. Toroda oroek mines are again attracting atten tion. Sovon companies are working and eomo of them expect to cut their ledges within a fow days. Some of the ledges have shown largo values on tho surface, and it was this that turned the attention of raining men in that direction. Among the mines that had fine surface showings and carried ex ceptionally high values waa the Ox ford. As high as 256 ounces of silver and $16 in gold par ton were obtained from the ore near the surface. Tho owners deoided to run a tunnel and now have it in 65 feet. A few days since a stringer 13 inches in width was cut in the tunnol, which is believed to be nn off-shoot from the ledges. The ore oarrios abont 200 ounces uf silver por ton and from $10 to $13 in gold. Tho tunnel will have to bo extended about 40 foet to cut the ledge. There is also a parallel lodge that can be out by the tunnel by extending it another 100 feet. The ledges vary from 7 to 9 foot in width. Mining- Nwi and Oonlp. Several large nuggets havo boon found on the Mary Ann plaoers In Cho saw camp, Wash. A stir ia reported on West Fishor creek. 80 miles from Llbby. Mont,, where $60 oro ia reported in. an old claim. It ia reported in Farguion, B. O,, that a rioh atrike has been made in the Nettie L. A vein three io four feot wide of solid galena, carrying more copper than usual, was exposed. Many Locations Reported on Dixie and Strawberry Spursi Portland, July 9. The Oregoninn has this nows from tho mining cantor of the John Day valley hi Eastern Oro gou: Prairio City, in tho uppor part of the John Day y.illoy is Mttracting consider able notice as a mining center. Placer mining has beon carried on in tho valley sinco tho early '60s, and tho quartz ledgos wero known to the old Bottlers 25 years ago. Many quartz locations have been mado in tho past two years, and if the 50th pait of thorn amount to anything, thu Prairie City country will certainly bo a large pro ducer of gold, copper and cobalt. Tho mineralized bolt, asido from tho placor deposits which are found in overy creok, comprises Dixie Spur of tho Illuo mountains, eight miles north of Prairio City, and Strawberry Spur, nine miles south. Dixio Spur is about 25 mlies long, and skirts the northern side of tho valley. Its highest point is Dixio Ilutlo, which has an olovation of 7,000 feet. Strawborry Spur is 40 miles long, extending from Canyon creok along tho southern bound ary of tho valley, into Malheur county. Its highest point is Strawberry liutto, which has an elevation of 9,000 foet. The principal development has been on Dixio Spur. Here along the forks of Dixie creok, and in Quartzburg dis trict, several properties have bcon openod. Principal among them are the Standard, the Lone Star, tho Key stono, tho Shorbondy, tho Clayton, the Present Need and a few others. Tho Strawberry country has hardly been touched. The Cleavers think thoy havo a Treadwoll in the Oregon Won der. Others aio of the same opinion. J. F. Rodgers, who has examined the country on Strawborry and Dixio Spurs, says the formation' is porphyri tic granite, pierced by porphyry dikes. A third rock is pure gray granite carry ing little porphyry, but much mica. There is also quito a bit of serpentine, and diorito without quartz. II. E. Stewart, one of the owners of the Lone Star, says the Dixie Spur country is unquestionably a copper reg ion, although he is mindful of the fact that gold predominates in the rock. The copper belt, so far as known, ox tends, he says, four miles north from Johnson's arastra along both sides of the east fork of Dixio creek. There ia cobalt in the rock, as has been demon strated by the work in the Standard group, but Mr. Stewart thinks consid erable depth will be required to get at tho largo deposits ol this metal. Cop per is oxido and carbonate nt tho sur face, but is found in the sulphide form with depth. On the surface the cop per is stroaky and bunchy, but as depth is attained it solidifies and increases in quantity. This is the oxperience of all tho claim owners in the Dixie creek country. Thero is considerable placer mining in and around Canyon City. Probably $35,000 was taken from the creeks within two milos of town last year. At Canyon City the Humboldt Com pany is working two hydraulics on Canyon creek, taking its water from ditches. A number of Canyon City men aro interostod, among them Ira Sprout, Fred Yorgensen and Herbert Iluuter. No figures of tho annual out put aro obtainable but it is beliovod to be about $15,000. THE ROSSLAND DISTRICT. Qronp of Camp In the Summit Show Some Activity. Spokane, July 0. Considorablo as sessmeut work is being done at Sum' mit camp, about eight miles northwest of Olalla, fi. C. It is described in the Rossland Miner as rather a Beries of camps at the headwators of the six or eeven creeks which rise there. Threo of thoso, K or oin eos, Cedar and Olalla creeks, flow oastward to Koremeos val ley, while Fifteen-Mile, Sixtoon-Mile and Twenty-Milo creeks flow west am then south to the Similkameen. There are good trails up all these creeks from Olalla and pack horses can get up quite oasily. The colobrated Nickle Plate mine is situated noar the head of Twonty-Mile creok, and thoro are several high grado propertlies within sight of it. Northwest Notes. Tlio pay roll of Rosslaud, U. C, camv runs over $100,000 per mouth. fioise'a first ico plant will be instal led and in operation within 16 or 20 days. Potitions are being ciroulatod in Lin coln county, Or., protesting against the proposed location of fish traps in Ya quina bay. Bids are being solicited for the erec tion of a two-story brick hotel in Lako viow, Or. Tho owners will be Miller & Lane, who paid $3,500 for a alto last woek. Profossor E. il. McAlister of the de partment of applied mathematics at tho University of Oregou has been ap pointed by the rogeuts ns supervisor of the drainage system to bo put in at tho university this summer. Tho county court of Union county, Or., haa ordered road supervisors to prosecute all persons who damage the highways by permitting irrigation water to run in tho roads.
