GILsoNITE EXPLOSIONS.
One Miner Loses a Hand, and Is
Otherwise Injured.

Ole MINER Loses Gand- ana Is
Otherwise Injured.
Dave Bennett came in today from
the giIsonite mines over at Castle Peak
and Pariette, and reports that between
IS and 20 I.en are now at work in the
mines
Mr. Bennett left Vernal about a
month ago for the mines, intending to
work there all winter. but after work
life and limb was too great and re-
have been several explosions in the
mines there within the last month. In
one, which occurred about a week ago,
he states one of the miners lost one
hand, and had the other badly crippled,
besides having his face badly burned.
According 10 Mr.. Benefits statement
the vein averages from L TO Is inches
in width. and as nothing but the ore
is taken out it gives the miners very
little room to work in. At times the
crevasse is SO narrow that a man to
get in must go sideways. and if he
finds it necessary to turn around must
back out in order to accomplish it.
The dust is so explosive that there is
continual danger attending the work
Looking at the matter in the light of
past experience il strikes the people of
this section that the state mine in
spectOr should take this matter up and
Investigate it. Uintah county has al
ready lost three of her residents in the
gilsonite mines, and one body has
never yet been recovered.

same day that he arrived He left at
midnight for Rexburg, and his leaving
is not attributed 10 any urgent call
from Idaho, but is believed 10 be due to
the fact that he didn't find things here
in quite such a workable state as he
had anticipated. He had quite a lengthy
conference with some of the local Re-
publican leaders, however, in an Office
on Main street. during the evening, and
it is thought that he learned q great
deal about the situation here that he
did not know before. He found that
some OF the Republicans here had al
ready been feeling around a little, and
so he concluded to let them work the
matter up a little more before he at
tempted his scheme of reorganizing the
silver Republicans, which was his stat
ed object in coming here. From re-
marks made by some of those whom he
consulted, it is quite plain that he in
tends TO return here again before a
great while.
