NEW CITY DIRECTORY.
Population of Salt Lake and Suburbs
Put Down at "a, 6O6.

r. L. Polk & Co.'S new Directory of
Salt Lake City has just been issued
from the press, and is a volume in
every way worthy of the enterprislng
publishers. In the Introductory the an
nOuncement is made that the work is
the result Of a personal house to house
canvass Of every home and place of
abode of every office, store and work
shop within the limits of the city and
suburbs. The volume contains 2S 202
names-an increase Of LAP names over
the number contained in the 1899 Direc-
tory.
The population of the city. including
the suburbs, is estimated at "a 500.
Further on the introductory says: In
186168 the miners Of Nevada and Cali
fOrnia began to search in Utah for the
precious metals, and as the great min
ing industry developed the city resDon-
ded in wealth and growth. Thus by
steady strides has Salt Lake advanced
TO its present proportions"
Aside from the alphabetical addresses
of the residents Of the city, many sub
jects Of interest to the people Of the
state at large and residents of other
sections Of the country as well will be
found conveniently arranged between
the covers of the work, and there is no
question but what it enjoys a very
large circulation.
The books will be delivered to sub
scTibers after the middle Of this week.

Who is Accountable
(san Franciseo Chroniele.l


All the mine disasters that have hereto
fore occurred in the western states and
territories sink into insignificance when
compared with that which happened on
Tuesday through an explosion at the
Pleasant Valley companys -colheries at
Scofeld, Utah. 1t is represented that
from 300 to 400 miners lost their lives in
it. The cause of the explosion is not
known. as the living who were brought
out We're not near the scene of it when it
occurred The mine is claimed to have
been well ventilated and it had the repu-
tation of being free from gas. Similar
conditions were supposed to exist in other
collieries where fatal explosions took
place, which were traceable TO an over
confidence in these faneied conditions of
security. As a matter of fact, no col
Iiery is absolutely safe from explosion.
Even though the seams of coal worked
be free from gas or fire damp, the atmos-
phere OF the mine becomes in time thor
oughly impregnated with fine coal dust,
which is as combustible as gunpOwder.
In many colliery disasters the main dam
age follows the gas explosion through
the ignition of the dust in the air of the
mine.
If the Pleasant Valley colliery was real
~ free from fire damp it may be revealed
later that the explosion was due to the
firing of the coal dust through the indis-
Greet handling of lights or the reckless
use of powder. Miners grow careless, al
most to recklessness in their operations
if they become impressed with the belief
that the ground is safe and comparatively
free from the greater perils incident to
the business of mining. But there was
another danger menacing the miners en-
plOyed in the Pleasant Valley cOlliery
which might have been avoided. Mine No.
is said to have been used as a powder
magazine, and the levels of that mine
communicated with others on the vein.
One survivor intimates that the explosion
was in the direction of the magazine.
This fact seems to imply that it was the
powder stored in the underground maya
zine which exploded and that the coal
dust in the air of the drifts was ignited
by it. Clearly, then, the disaster comes
under the head of those which could with
ordinary care and rational regulations
have been prevented. If So some one in
authority is criminally responsible for the
catastrophe and should be held account
able for it.

at all anxious to unload, unless they
got 81 share and better. However.
there were three blocks sold little

C. G. Hall, formerly a heavy stock
holder in the Petro mine Of .inSham.
has returned from a five months triD
10 Los Angeles, where he caught the
oil fever and recently acquired a val
liable oil property not over seven miles
from the business portion of that city,
Mr.. Hall says southern California Is
having a genuine boom in the oil bust
ness; new wells are being opened up
everywhere and even as far south as
San Diego, it see8ls, wherever prospect
ing is carried on TO any depth, oil in
large quantities is found. h few years
ago no one in Los Angles had any
idea that the oil industry would de-
velOp into anything of consequence.
Within the past few months immense
fortunes haVA been made. and some
people who engaged in the business,
poor in d financial way a year ago, are
now enjoying all the cOnvenieaces of
wealth. AS yet no rehneTies have been
built, so far, the principal market for
the prOdact is found with the railroad
and steamship companies, who use the
oil fCF fuel in the place of coal The
locomotives used by the Santa F'e and
Southern Pacific companies IN south
ern California are all equipped with the
attachments for burning oil, which is
considered less expensive than coal in
that part of the country and does
away with the smoke nuisance so often
anpoving to passengers riding on the
trains. The property acquired by Mr.
Hall Is not producing just yet, but he
has hopes that it viii be before very
long. There are producing wells on
al sides 81 his ground, 50 il. seems that
