In speaking Of the terrible accident
at Ash Peak, where powder stored in
the mine exploded, many miners have
said that they never worked in mine
where powder was not stored in the
mine. In this connection something
,an be learned of how expert authority
considers this matter from the report
Of the New Mexico Inspector of mines,
J. w. Fleming, as reported on page
80 of Governor Oterro's annual re-
port. On the ninth of last May, while
1t Gallup, Inspector Fleming heard
hat powder was stored in the w. A.
Clark mine at Clarksville. He con-
'idered the matter so serious that he
lid not wait to go to Clarksville, but
telegraphed the superin-
endent of the mine, asking him if the
'eport was true, and if true ordering
lim to remove the powder at once.
The superintendent replied that the
powder was kept in magazine, and
'nly enough kept in the mine for daily
and asked if that was con-
idered dangerous. Inspector Fleming
'eplied: II consider it dangerous to
lave any powder stored in a mine.
Have it removed as soon as possible"
The powder was Immediately removed.
