Aspen, Cola, Nov.16 The owners of the Smuggler mine, which has been on fire since Sunday morning, announce that the situation is much improved, inasmuch as they have succeeded in carrying lines of steam pipes to within s short distance of the fire, and hope n in a few hours more to be playing difa take however, it Outsiders, ferent view of the situation. It is the general belief that it is not the wooden crib which is on fire, but tbe shale foot wall itself, which is said to be a very low grade of eoal. This belief is itrengthened by the fact that the gaa which is driving the men from the workings on Smuggler mountain is more like that from burning coal than wood. If this theory is correot, nothbut the flooding of the mine will up-3- other. This fight was virtually started last Wednesday night, at a meeting of mine owners and mine managers of the camp. They thoroughly discussed the question and decided to organize an association to protect their own Interests against the smelters. In order to show what the smelters intended to do, one of the mine managers stated that he had been requested by a smelter to enter into a contract for the sale of his ore before the trust went into effect. At this meeting in Leadville, we decided that a circular should be gotten up, to be sent to all the mine owners of the west. This circular sets forth the object of the association, and also calls for suggestions as to the time for holding a meeting of all the ing stop the fire. Already the gas has permeated ths workings in the various mines on Smuggler mountain for two miles to ihe north of the Smuggler shaft, and 500 men have been driven out and two or three times that number will have to quit work if the fire is not quenched. The gas is gradually going lower, having now reached the seventh level. If It drives the men from the pumps in he ninth level, it will mean the flooding of the district, as the Smuggler pumps are the principal ones in the in- stead of allowing the smelters to regu- listriet The feeling here is very gloomy, as late the price, that they ought to do n of the a long it it themselves.

On May 6, last, land about Nogales was declared subject to entry, and iinong those who took advantage of the right was a man who made a town-lit- e selection directly on the international border line and immediately trected a large house thereon, with loors on both sides. By this means, iccording to official reports, the laws would lie evaded by backing up wagons laden with Mexican goals to the rear 4oor of the house, which did not require crossing the line. The good; were then taken 'out of the door on the American side, and carried away. The cdse was reported by the collector f customs, and he asked that no townsite he allowed unless there was i street set apart along the border to prevent this evasion, The general land office lias acted on this proposition, and the president bas made a reservation of a strip of land sixty feet wide and two miles long, at Nogales, which, it is expected, will secure this government its diatoms lues.
