Geyser-Marion Manager.

The adjourned meeting of the di-
rectors of the Geyser-M Marion company,
which was to have been held yester-
day afternoon, was postponed until

one or two of the board. Who will
succeed Mr. Bamberger as manager of
the company will not be known until
after that meeting. President Dern
said the matter might have been dis

best to have a full board present.

Mr.. Crismon is one of Utah's early
pioneers, having come to this state in
1S47. He went to California in 1S49,
and followed placer mining in the north
fork of American river. In 1888 he
came back to Utah. His first venture
in mining in this state was undertaken
in 1870, when he became the owner of
the Swansea mine, at Tintic. He
shipped several thousands of dollars
worth of ore from this property and

A party consisting of w. ]. Law
renee. w. T. Dinwoodey and Victor c.

little beads of gold.
While at the mine yesterday samples
were taken all the way across the

about TOO miles after Brown, the

Brown drove the horses about 80
miles day and when arrested had
just driven them into a corral at

his arrest, but offered no resistance.

One Woman Dead and Many Others
Seriously Injured.
Reading. Pa, Dec. 8-One of the
most appalling fires that has ever
visited this city occurred yesterday
when the extensive hosiery mill of
Nolde & Horst company took fire from
exploding gasoline, destroying the
plant, causing the death of one per-
son and injuring 81 other employees of
the company. The dead woman is
Miss Louisa Clay. aged 4S years. All
of the injured are women and girls
Eight have broken legs and several
others received severe internal in
juries. 1t is feared that some of the
injured will die.
The hosiery building was a large
four story structure. and nearly 600
persons were employed in 1t, most Of
them being women and girls. The fire
was discovered about II o'clock, and in
a few moments the girls were panic
stricken. They made a dash for the
fire escape and the stairs, but found
that the latter means of escape could
not carry all Of them down at the same
