All the mines in the vicinity were closed as soon as news of the disaster got out, and their ' miners were at the scene of the explosion ready to help in the rescue work. The scenes at both openings of the mine f were harrowing and indescribable, ' Two miners who came out of the mine at the Mill creek opening estimate about 800 of the 600 men at work in the Cambria drift got out at that opening. Survivors Report Frightful Conditions | The few survivors who have escaped | from the depths of the mi e describe the condition as frightful in their nature, Outside of the “Klondike” the mines are | safe and uninjured. Within the fatal ! limits of the mine the havoc wrought by the explosion is such as beggar deseription. Solid walls of masonry three feet through were torn down as though barriers of paper. The roofs of the mine were demolished and not a door remains standing. The men who escaped are familiar with the mine. They have spent years work- | ing in it. Otherwise they could never bave reached the surface. Lights were | out and there was no way for them to find their way to the top had they not known the mine perfectly. 1 John Hewlett at the time of the accident was at second right, room sixteen, two miles back in the mines. The exm;sion R said _was at rizht six, about"

400 yards from where he was wormng. “There were six of us together, and as soon as we heard the explosion we pulied up stakes and got out as quick as possible. Richard Bennett was one of the men with me. After Bennett got out he went back again. After the explosion we could not see our hands before us until we reached the main heading. It appeared to be a smoky, stinky substance, whether gas or damp I could not tell. It was terrible whatever it was.” . Two yvoung men who were at work in ‘ the “Klondike” when the explosion oc- ' curred, escaped byway of an old and un- | used air shaft. They were dizzy and | | sick with the awful damp when Ilw_v, ‘ were found, and after their recovery they . told a horrible story of how they lladz | crawled over the dead bodies of tln-iri | comrades. They could not say how many | % are dead, but from their tale it is almost i ; certain that there are no living men in| { the inine at the present time. Tom Fos- | ter, a mine boss, and Powell Griffith, a | fire boss, also escaped, and they tell the | | same horrible tale of the catastrophe, ‘ l IMMIGRANT MARK UP. ! | Fignres for Fiscal Year Show Arriv- ’ l als of 493,380 at New York, l | During the fizeal year ended with June ! ‘493.380 immigrants landed at the port | {of New York, which is the record.

LEAVYES A TRAIL OF BLOOD. Escaped Convict in Washington Re- l vives Frontier Days. A realistic revival of the ways of the i+ wild and woolly West in the picturesque ‘d:lys of frontier warfare and of the reign ‘uf the bandit and bad man has been giv- | rn in the State of Washington by Harry l'i‘.":u-.\', an escaped convict from Oregon, ! who has left behind him a trail of blood and terror.

Then they fled :lgflin.l Their trail was marked by reports of lstnlon horses and farmers whom they beld up. / } The Governor of Oregon ordered out the militia and bands of deputy sheriffs and posses were sent out in all directions.

Clark and his crew of four men to convey him in a gasoline launch over Puget Sound to Meadow Point, north of Seattle, The captain says that Tracy had told him while on his boat that he had killed Merrill. On July 8 a party of pursuing oflicers under the leadership of Deputy Sheriff Charles Raymond of Snohomish County, and Deputy Sheriff John Williams of F.ing County, located the desperado at Bothell, twenty miles north of Seattle and on the line of the Northern Pacific ' Railroad. Tracy had taken a commanding position in a clump of firs and had probably seen the posse before he himsalf | had been observed. There was no parley- ‘ ing on either side. The posse, strong in inum‘xwz's and perhaps somewhat ercouri nged by a reward, aggregating £5.600, for | Tracy's capture, prepared to surround the lmul;m"s hiding place. Tracy, fighting i for freedom and life, was determined not to be taken and with his trusty rifle open‘wi fire on his pursuers, He fired five <hots in all and these were sufficient to | insure, for the time, his escape. At one I of the discharges Raymond was shot and | fell to the ground dead. Amnother bullet : struck the rifle barrel of Williams, splin- | tering it and burying itself in the deputy's chest. Williams fell to the ground ‘ badly wounded. Before the other mem- { bers of the posse could recover their wits | | the outlaw escaped. !

To surround ’ ‘the house was a matter of only a brief { time. and then the officers felt sure that their quarry could not escape them. Tracy | opened fire on the officers, instantly killing Policeman E. E. Breeze and fatally woundinz Neil Rawley, another of his would-be captors. He then coerced twa men to act as shields and under their protection he made his way out of the range ; disappeared.in the woods and G & i ot e e 2L -

THE ANTHRACITE STRIKE. iSoon to Be Determined Whether the ‘ | Soft Coal Men Will Quit, The tenth week of the anthracite coal | strike finds both sides apparently determined to continue the struggle, whih ig costly to both and detrimental to the in- | terests of the public. Up to the present in this costly struggie there has/been an actual loss to miners and owners and the ' | business interests in the outside of the anthracite regions of approximately $50,000,000. Os this vast sum nearly one- | half falls upen the operators, the bal- ‘ ance descending upcn the miners, odhers -;fln'm\'n out of work through the suspen- | sion of coal mining and bhusiness interests ! generally. The loss to the sirikers in : l wages is placed at 810,000,000, | In the general features of the strike | there has been no material change since last week. Some of the mining com- | panies are making preparations for re- | suming mining at some of their mines | and seema to be confident that enough | strikers will return to work when given , | opportunity. This the strike leaders de- , | ny. They contend that the strikers are .| as firm now as the day they struck and | that it will be impossible for the opera- , | tors to obtain enough help to ~2art their gollieries.

OMMEDCIAL T X VB , Rve :_llf TN 932 ET AND &gl AN 7 v-'?f?-fé‘: R INANCIAL “Good news predomi- ' Ney Y[]fk ‘fl{l‘u‘\'. although unfavorable 5 — weather proved a drawback i at many points and new labor disputes arose. 'There is less than the customary midsummer idleness in manufacturing industries, despite the secarcity of fuel. Commodity prices are fully maintained. Railway earnings thus far available for June average 9.9 per cent larger than last vear’s and 20.6 per cent above those of 1900.” The foregoing is from the weekly trade review of R. G. Dun & Co. It continues: Statistics of pig iron production on July 1 are somewhat surprising. According to the Iron Age the weekly output was at a ’ new high record of 352,590 tons, notwithstanding the shortage of fuel. In steel the situation is mixed, keavy lines falling further behind orders, while a number of rod, wire and nail mills in the Pittsburg region have shut down for the usual vacation. Structural steel and railway supplies are urgently sought, so much more business being x:-‘,%l that activity is assured well into 1903 New England shoeshops are mor” ' ' engaged than at any previous tim. | ear. Union leather is firm, but domestic ‘buye.rs are taking little hemlock, f"c best inquiry being for export. Upper :ather is active at the West. A large purchase of packer hides has strengthened the tone at Chicago, while Texas hides arrive more freely and concessions are made. Export orders for eotton goods are still disappointing, and the home demand is quiet, yet mills are well occupied. At thf} South there is a disposition to delay spinning until the new crop begins t move, and this tendency is also Teported in England. In woolens the best feature is the reorder business in heavy weizhts, quick delivery being desired, Corn has again been the prominent feature of the markets for domestic staples. I Speculators at the West secured control of the 6,000.000 bushels in tae visible I supply, and compelled the short interests to cover contracts at disastrously high prices. Farmers' reserves aie evidently | insignificant, for attractive prices do not [ bring cut even a fair volume of receipts. ' Wheat was quiet and strong. ~ Liabilities of commercial failures so: the first week of July amounted to sl.570,358, of which $483,048 were in manufacturing, $636,416 in trading and $450,094 in other lines. Failures for the week numbered 193 in the United States, against 208 last vear, and 19 in Canada, against 27 a year ago. ] An advance in the price of l Cmcagu i-lnly corn to 90¢ last week put it to the highest figure since 1892, The high point was 13e above the close of the previcus week. and 32c¢ higher than the low pcint on the decline less than a month ago. It was a clear case of squeezing the shorts. The close was 86c. The trade paid liitle attention to the government report on corn, although it is very bearish. The condition of 87.5 is fairly low for July, but there is an unprecedented acreage, 95.000.000, which, figured by States based on government conditions, indicates = yield of 2,490,000,000 bushels, the larzgest on record. The surplus States have a prospeet of 1,678,000,000 bushels,.~r douHla last vear's. With old reger-p light

O T the new crop begins to move, there is & feeling among traders that corn is Dot likely to average much below 30c. Sentiment among wheat traders as to the future course of values is mixed. Some of the sharpest and best operators are friendly to the bull side. here are also a number of shrewd men who believe prices are high enough. The price last week was governed largely oy the weather, and althongh averaging higher closed with a gain of only 34e on July and a loss of l4c to 3gc on distant mounths. September, which was 3%4¢ under Decemnber a week ago, advanced to Y4c premium, but closed 14c discount. The cash situa tion is regarded as strong. Heavy storms throughout the winter wheat country have delayed the movement and deteriorated the quality. There is prospec: of & larger quantity of low grade wheat on the present crop than has heen known for years. The world's stocks of wheat are the lowest on record with the excep tion of the Leiter year, 1897-08. The d crease last month, taking the Daily Trads Bulletin's estimate, was 27,346,000 busa els, and the world’s supply, 105,827,001 Ihushf-!s‘. while in the Leiter deal i+ was down to 108,000 (x¥) }'3l.\"{".{‘l'\’, During the week top cattle sold at $8.70, being 20¢ above the previous week and the highest July price on record Hogs sold 2215¢ higher than the previous week, the highest since March, 1883, and ;t]h- highest July in twenty years. Thre loads sold at $8.25. Sheep and lambs sold poorly during the week. Cattle receipts were comparatively small, witl hogs and sheep liberal compared witl the previous week and a year ago.
