The dead are: Peter Tinco, aged thirty
years; John Taylor, aged twenty-four
years; Henry Flynn, aged thirty-five years /;
Wm Taylor, aged forty years.
Theodore Frounkenstein, a boy of six
teen, was SO badly crushed that his re-
covery is impossible.
The work of sinking the new shaft com
menced last March, the contractor in
charge being Thomas Richards of Miners
Vile.
The four men and the boy formed part
OF the day shift. Soon after arriving at
the shaft this morning they stepped ON the
rim of the large iron bucket to be lowered
into the shaft. big crosshead weigh
ing several hundred pounds, through which
the rope passes, became frozen to the
guides and did not move when the bucket
started. When the men had gone about
half way down the huge crosshead fell

about 800 feet. The four men were ter
ribly mangled, and must have been killed
instantly. The Frounkenstein boy was ter
ribly bruised.

EAST NEEDS THE WEST.
Governor Adams on the Mineral
Wealth Of Colorado.

DENVER, Colo, January BIN his in
augural message Governor Adams recon-
mends the establishme mt of a board of
arbitration to adjust differences between
employers and employees. After comment
in6 upon the mineral resources Of the state,
the governor said:
Little as the east appreciates the fact,
1t has been the gold and silver of the west
that have kept our country stable. Had
the mines closed during the days of war,
had they ceased to yield in days OF re-
sumption, the history OF our country might
have changed Should they cease now 20
send their glittering millions into the ave-
nues of trade, it would take Iurid brush
to paint the disaster that would come to
our finances. The east and west need each
other, but the west especially Colorado.
with all Its diversified resources, can stand
alone with less loss than any other nation.
Around our state might be- circled Jetrer-
sons sea Of flame, or John Adams wall of
brass, yet we could grow, prosper and be
happy; but we want no seclusion; we have
sincere and ardent welcome for all the
world"

The Projected Investigation Has
Caused Great Excitement.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, January 13.-The
early advent in Kansas City OF a Lexcw
committee has caused excitement and a
feeling of expectancy among city officials
generally. Now that an investigation seems
assured, evidence of an astounding nature
is developing on all sides. In an inter-

that the board has been run as a political
machine and laughingly added:

this thing comes out. Everybody who

as they got near the door Findley jingled
money i'm his pocket, saying: You need
not have any compunction in taking money
as there are other city officers who are
not sensitive as you" Christie was ar
raigned before Jones later and fined 81 600
which he paid.
The Star on the above subject says:
There are lawyers in Kansas City who
can tell astounding stories of corruption.
State Senator Lyons knows their names.
They can swear that Ed. FindIey pre-
ferred to corrupt officials rather than pay
lawyers fees. Their testimony would in
criminate men from judges down to jurors.
Grand juries have been fixed to make
pretended Investigations; jurors have said
so themselves. Men who. were known to
be close friends of the cofruptionists who
were to be investigated we're put on these
juries deliberately. All this is known to
Senator Lyons. He had in his pocket be-
fore he was ever nominated for senator
the written confessions Of thieves who be-
longed to police-protected gangs. If Lyons
intends to put the probe Into all the rami-
f1cations of this system of official corrup-
tion. he can purge Kansas City of one of
the most corrupt rings that ever existed" !"

Havana and smuggled from there to Key

"Baja, Province of Pinar del Rio, Jan. 1,
Information has just been received here
of the audacious falsehoods told by wey-
ler and his officers concerning the strength
OF the insurgent forces and their condi-
ton. Weyler had in this province $4,000
troops, besides those on the trocha, but he
has never penetrated the hills, as he has
claimed.
1.-The insurgents have now in Pinar del Rib
i.5oo more men than they had in septem-
ber last. They have plenty of ammunition
The troops are all well DISCIPLINED. The
death Of Maceo has SO angered them that
they are wild to face weyler and his
forces. The situation with them has never
been pressing, and nobody knows that bet
ter than Weyler himself. Al the people
who have been killed in Pinar iel Rio have
been the pacificos and their families. These
are the country people. who did noS give
up their homes and go into the cities as
ordered by weyler. The brutality toward
women and the young girls has been re-
voting and shocking.
