Seventy.Two Men Known to Have Perished flunkhousc at the Mouth of the Tunnel Burned and the Workings Filled With Smoke and Deadly Gasses Property Loss Will Reach $50,000. Tollurido. Col., Nov. 21. What is likoly to prove tho most disastrous accident that has ovor occurred In n mettallic mine in Colorado resulted today from a flru which burned the buildings at tho mouth of tho Bullion tunnel through which tho Smuggler Union mine is worked and which filled the mine with deadly gas and smoke. It is impossible to give even an approximate estimate of tho loss of life, hut it is believed that it will reach nearly, if not quite, 100. Sov-enty-two aro known to havo perished. Tho fire started about 7 o'clock this morning from a defective fluo in tlio buukhouso at tho mouth of tho tun nel. It quickly communicated to tho other buildings. Tlio dense smoko from the burning converter houso, which was saturated with oil, began pouring into tho tunnel, which, with the shafts of the mine, acted as a chimney. Tho day shift had just gono on duty and beforo they could bo warned of their danger, tho levels nnd stopos wero filled with smoke and gas. As soon as tho men became aware of their danger efforts were mudo to renchtho surface through tho various exits, and about half of those in tho mine escaped. It will bo impossible to ascertain tho number still in tho mino for several hours, on account of tho gas in somo of tho levels. The Smuggler-Union is ono of tho oldest mines in tho district and has several abandoned oiienings, some of which wero available. Most of tlioso who escaped did so through tho old Union workings and the old Sheridan tunnel. A rescuing party cut n con nection through from tho commis sion workings adjoining and took out part of the men. Although the buildings wcro quick ly consumed, tho tlenso smoko con tinued to pour into tho tunnel and it was not until .3 o'clock this afternoon that it occurred to the management to shut olT tho draft by blasting rock into tho tunnel. It is believed by mining men that had this been done as won as the fire started all loss of lifo might havo lieen avoided. Tho property loss is about $50,000, fully covered by insurance.

Last Saturday night he arrived at tho Portland Hotel, and was assigned to a room on the ground iloor facing Yamhill street, being tho third window from tho northeast cor ner of Seventh and Yamhill streets. His traveling trunk, containing the greater part of his diamonds ho used in trado, and a portion of his money, was placed in his room.

Tho accident occurred on the cinder dumn back of tho comnany's plant. Tho victims woro engaged in collecting scrap when a party of workmon at tho ton of tho dumo. about 20 feet abovo, dumped their car ovor tho odgo, not knowing that tno men wero directly beneath them. The car contained about eight tons or slag, a greater part of which was reu-hot, and much of it in a mol ten state. Rorlne fnrm Tool. It would seem an If it were unneces sary to urge farmers to take care of their tools, yet during a recent trip of less than 150 miles a writer In the In dianapolis News snys ho counted no less than twenty tools of various kinds exposed to the rain and sun. These were Been from the windows of n swiftly moving train, no that It Is snfa ro say that. Including the farms a mile distant from the railroad, there were more than two hundred tools out ot doors that ought to have been under cover. After such a sight It was a re lief to reach a farm where the tools wero well cared for. On tho farm in question was a long, narrow building devoted entirely to a storage place for tools and a repair shop. After each tool was used It was put under the shed, and during the winter all of the wood work was thoroughly painted and all of tlio metal that had rusted was sand papered. There was a small anvil in tho part of the structure devoted to re pairs, a bench with both iron and wood vises, drawers divided Into compart ments for bolts, screws, nails and nuts of various sizes and a very fair set of carpenter's tools. The owner claimed that this repair shop had saved Its cost every year In blacksmith's hills, and that by caring for his tools he was not only able to do better work with them, nut they were In shape ror good use for many years longer, than they had been neglected. False Economies In Virinlne. For some reason nearly every farmer considers that he must economize In the matter of seeds. If ho does not mako the mistake of buying cheap seeds, that is, seeds low In price but poor In quality, he tries to save on the quantity with the result that he loses In the crop. In the sowing of grass seeds, for example. In which clover has a part, how many farmers have blamed the clover seed cTr claimed that the soil was "clover sick," when the ouly trouble was he did not use enough seed. As a rule, the catalogues of seeds men arc safe guides to the quantity of seed necessary with grass seed, Then there is tho fertilizer economy, and here economy Is practiced both in quantity nnd In kind. That Is, the farm er will find that a certain fertilizer, np plled In moderate quantities, has im proved the wheat yield and ever after lie uses the same amount and the same kind In growing wheat, forgetful of the fact that he Is tnklng from tho soil In the crop other plant foods which he Is not returning. Result, n worn-out soli. Look Into the question of these nnd other economies and see If they really are economics. shndo to drip off while the remainder of tho rig Is attended to. Wnsh in tho samo way. Wipe with a cloth wrung out of clean water nnd polish with a soft llntlcss rng. Well-worn ginghams nro good for this purpose. Wlpo nil drops off the wheels with n clean, well wrung cloth and follow with n dry one. Clean all gummy substance from tho spindles nnd inside the hubs. Oil spin dles and put wheels securely oil Foil Frnnlntr. As to whether fnll or spring is tho best timo for pruning there Is a dis agreement nmong fruit growers. Ono thing we hnve found out, however when It Is necessary to remove n limb of considerable size, an inch or over in diameter, the best time Is September and October. Wounds made at that season, though they may not hcnl over nn quickly ns nt some other times, will never decay. Owing no doubt to tho ripe condition of the wood, the cut sur face dries and becomes as hard as bone. We have tested this for many yenrs and know It to be so. In all pruning particular care should bo used to make smooth cuts. No stubs should be left sticking out. It is sur prising to observe In passing along the road how frequently this Important rulo Is disregarded, and that, too, by persons who profess to understand tho business. Another important point Is the removal of nil dead and decaying limbs. Another Is to cut off one the least deslrnble one, of course of tho branches of every fork In order to pre vent the tree from splitting when load ed with frunlt, National Stockman. The Great Hnbv Strnwlierrr. Strawberry growers can test new va rieties most quickly by setting out pot grown plants during August. Theso pot-grown plants, set at the time n dlcated, will bear a full crop of fruit the nest season, and If one has only a few plants he will be able by this method to 'test the variety a n rt ascertain beyond a doubt whether It is suitable for the soil and the climate in which It Is planted. The Great Ruby, which OnEAT ntTBT. wns Introduced Inst season, and which has proved very satisfactory to all who have grown It, is a healthy, vigorous grower, nnd remarkably productive. The berries are large, uniform In shape, deep crimson In color, and of fine flavor. It Is mid-season in time oC ripening, hence the blossoms can bo fertilized by any of the perfect blossom sorts so numerous among 'the mid-season rnrleltles. One feature of the plant Is Its deep-rooting qualities, which must of necessity make It somewhat Independent of dry weather. Indian apolis News. T'arn Door Protector. A simple device will keep out the cold and prevent Ice and snow from freezing around the bottom of tho barn door. A board long enough to reach across the door has end pieces fitted In to form a Thi Iloe's Swill. Sun-baked swill In filthy barrels; swill that Is fermented Into the sharp est acid and putrefied Into a disgusting mass; swill that attracts myriads of carrlou-lovlng files. Is not fit for tho bogs. It Is full of miasma and disease germs of various kinds, and hence It Is dangerous to feed It. says tho Farm, Stock and Home. Pleasantly soured swill swill that Is mildly acid-Is all right, but It should uot bo allowed to pass that stage before It Is fed; and In hot weather It gets past that stage very quickly. It Is not easy to look after such things carefully In the rush of all kinds of work nt this season, nnd some can not recelvo such suggestions with pa tience, which Is not surprising, but for all that It will pay to give somo thoughts to the pigs. It will not bo regretted at their harvest time. Mexico Importing Wheat. City of Mexico. Nov.19. From nil parts of tho Western United States, wheat is being sent into Mexico in amounts never boforo equalled. It is estimated by buyers and railroad mon In this city that by tho end of Docembor more than 1500 cars will have boen delivered into tho republic, And oven this groat amount will not end tho importation, so long at the duty is walvod and there is tho slight est lack of corn. Both buyers and transportation men bellevo that tho importation will continue until tho term for tho romoval of tho tariff expires, Bad Food In French Army. Paris, Nov. 18. La LIborto today assarted that 2,000,000 francs worth of aotenorated American tinned roods iiuto been discovered among tho mili tary stores at Vordun. Gonoral An dre, tho Minister of War, has conse quently ordorcd all tmnod roods among tho array stores, whether French or American, tp bo sold, on tho ground that it would bo bettor to have no stores at all than to depend upon canned provisions which would bo found to bo bad at tho outbreak of war. , btel'Sia DEVICE FOn THE BAH.V DOOR, tiny water-shed, strips of hoop Iron be ing used to secure the board to the door. The strip of board used should bo of some light but tough material, which will not add much to tho weight of tho door. While this appllanco is be ing put on nnother protection might be added. In tho shape of a weather strip placed on tho door in such a manner that it will cover tho crack between tho door and tho casing when tho door Is closed. Clennlne Hncry nnd Hnrnea. The method used by ono farmer nnd ono which makes It possible to perform the work witnout soiling ones gar ments to any dlsngreeablo extent Is: Ho first removes all cushions, cur tains, etc., dusts well and cleanses leather or rubber parts. The next Is to placo tho buggy on two trestles and re- inovo tho wheels to n watering trough, which Is beneath a largo willow tree. Spray tho buggy. Then turn tho wheels around, lu the trough. At tho same time removo nil earthy matter that Is soaked enough not to scratch the varnish. Tho wheels, or any part, must not bo kept wet long or tho paint will acquire a whitish color, In which caso a little lin seed oil on a soft rag can bo used with good effect, after tho paint has been thoroughly dried. When the wheels are clear of mud rinse with clear water and set In the Hints Tor the Horseman. Use land plaster In the stalls to ab sorb the ammonia. Poor feeding will make a weak colt and unsound limbs. Watch tho colt's feet and keep them straight with a rasp. Nover allow any one to tease tho colts. Teasing invariably makes a vicious horse. Handle tho colt overy day. nandlo his legs and pick up his feet A petted, wcll-haudled colt will make a centlo horse. Give the colts nnd horses all tho sun- shlno In the stables that Is possible. A dark, damp stablo will causo rheuma tism, and Is eonduclvo to all sorts of Ills. Better than n slat door or drop bar across a door to keep horses In or out, horo n hole through ono door post and nearly through tho other. Slip lu n piece of Inch or larger iron pipe. It Is easy to slide It to pass In and out. Put a well-fitted leather halter on thn colt's head with a short strap attached. Several times each day take hold of thl strap and hold him or pull him around. In a short timo ho will bo halter broken without .tho straining of n fight If tied up at once. Tho teeth of both young and old horses often need attention when thev do not got anything of tho kind. Ef fects aro thus produced that nro some times attributed to altogether different Influences. No wonder that a horso with teeth constantly disordered becomes a horso of confirmed bad temper.
