Frank, the scene of the horrible dis- aster, is one of those mushroom growth towns for which the West is famous. A vear or so ago Frank was not known. Some Freachmen with money came to British Columbia, and, although Frank is in the Northwest Territories, the com- ing of the Gauls meant the birth of the new town he Frenchmen became inter- ested in the Southeast Kootenay mines. It is not a far cry from Southeast Koot- enay to Frank. At first gold and silver were what the Frenchmen sought, but they saw how much money was being made out of coal, so- they went after the black diamonds. The chief fields on this side of the mountains being taken up, they went over the divide and located fuel ground in the Territories. Frank got its name from a miner who discov- d the coal, just such another man as ernie. VALUABLE PROPERTY GONE. It was at first supposed that the dis- ster had chiefly effected the Flentot licate mines, but that is not the case. It is the mine that Messrs, Frank & | Geho had been developing which is now rock.

He now occupies a cell in the County Jail. News of his presence in San Bernardino spread quickly sing considerable ex- citement. There was some talk of lynch- ing, but so confident is Sheriff Ralphs that no violence will be attempted that he will make no unusual effort to protect Fischer during the night. The prisoner is greatly alarmed and pleads for additional guards. the custod, deputies. F time, | i 4 ter at Frank will be found to have been caused by an explosion in the mines of the French Canadian Coal Company, which has a tunnel into the mountain after the manner of a metaliferous mine. It is believed here that an explosion has occurred, blowing out the face of the mountains, which has hurled millions of tons of rock down on the buildings and tunnels and dammed Old Man’s River, on whose bank lies the town of Frank. If the eruption had been of a seismic na- ture it would have been recorded by the selsmograph at Victoria. Bowles Machen of this city, who re- cently visited Frank, says the town, which is three years old, is named after Walter Frank, a well-known Butte banker who is operating extensively in coal mining there. In addition to this, a French syndicate represented by Messrs, Flutot and Gebo are operating in a gully about eight or ten miles distant. Frank is well laid out, the coal company having recently erected some very con- venient cottages for the miners. The population will hardly exceed 600. It lies on the Old Man’s River, just at the mouth of the canyon which leads into the Pincher Creek mining country, about twenty-six miles away. It Is the opinion that the slide may have started from an explosion in the tunnels, which, driving outward, started the face of the mountains, which hang at an angle of about forty-five degrees, (o the valley. . A private dispatch received here says that Jack McVeigh, a lumberman, and four men were buried with their sawmiil beneath the falling rock at Frank. DUE TO AN EXPLOSION. Gas Bursting Out of Mountain Causes Rumor of Volcanic Eruption. CHICAGO, April 29.—Information con- cerning the Frank disaster was obtained from Edward B. Liagre of Frank, who is in Chicago. Liagre is identified with the | Lille collieries, located a few hundred vards north of Frank. It was in a mine | connected with these collieries that the | catastrophe occurred. Liagre sald there was an explosion of gas, which burst out of the side of the mountain, and this led to rumors of volcanic eruption and earth- quakes. Liagre to-night received a tele- gram from Frank, saying: “Gas exploding in mine completely de- | stroyed the Frank collier: Sunny Suburban Homes In Marin County.
