This is ovldonceil by the orders issued

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.

WHATJTHE MINES AREJ)0ING
THE LOWER YUKON NEWSiTHE JOHN DAY VALLEY
American Mining Camps in That
Section Aro Doing Woll,
Geattlo, July 4. 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

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

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.
