Mr. Hallman, cf Lewied&le, has completed the work on Mr. D. F Efird's mill. It's up-to-date in every particular. We Midway folks don't i lack for saw mills.

Mis3 Ida Bouknight, near Balleniine's, has returned home sfter spending several weeks with Mrs. F. A. Heigmann and friends. Come again, Miss Ida, your visit was certainly enjoyed. Mr. Sam'l.

Telluride, Col, Nov. 20.?What is likely to prove the most disastrous j accident that has ever occurred in a metallic mine in Colorado, resulted today from a fire, which burned the ; buildiDgs at the mouth of the bullion j tannel, through which the Smuggler Union mine is worked and under which filled with the mine with * i? Tt : deadly gases ana snioae. xi is im- , possible to give even an approximate of the loss of life, but it is believed it will reach nearly, if not quite 100. Twpnty-two are known to have perished. Th? fire started early this mming j 1 * from a defective Hue in the bund house at the mouth of the tunnel. I I I quickly communicated with the other j buildings. The dense smoke from the burning converter house, which j was saturated with oil began pouring j into the tunnel which with the shafts j cf the mine acted as a chimney. The day shift of 200 men had just j gone on duty and before they could ! be warned of their danger the levels j and the slopes were filled with gas. j As soon as the men became aware cf their danger, efforts were made to reach the surface through various j exits and about half of those in the mine escaped. It will be impossible ! to ascertain the number still in the mine for several hours, on account j of the gas in some of the levels. Seventeen cf the 22 bodies found j were found on the seventh level, j Between 75 and 90 men were work- | ing on the ninth level and this has J not yet been explored.

With her body burned fearfully she lingered in excruciating agony for 3(i hours before death came to relieve her from ! her suffering.
