Most oil the Men Were Out When Ex'
plosion Occurred.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. H.
A terrific explosion Of gas in the
Spring Gulch mine of the Colorado
Fuel & Iron company, located 18 miles
from this place, caused the death OF
six miners and the serious injury OF
three others, besides doing damage
to the tunnel in which the explosion
occurred. AS soon as the explosion
occurred a messenger was sent to the
Pochontas mine, seven miles away,
to telephone here for assistance. He
stated that at the time Of the accident
the entire force Of 100 miners was in
the mine and it was thought that al!
had persisted. Later a messenger
brought information that less than
half an hour previous to the time OF
the explosion all but a few of the
employees had gone off duty, thus pre-
venting a more serious calamity.

Kinley, Gods will, not ours, be DONE"
Mr.. Bryan recalls pathetic scene at

fortitude in the final hours give
glimpses Of his inner life which moth

death Of Mckinley, the illustrious cit
izen, it is the damnable murder Of
Mckinley the president, that melts

a hush to farm, factory and forum.
Death is an inevitable incident Of
every human career, it despises the
sword and shield of the warrior and
laughs at precautions suggested by

to escape it's visitation. Even love,

Dying in Butte, the other day, he asked

friends where to find u mountain of gold
near Texas bar, Oregon, and they drew
maps from his description. Jack Clark's
bencfciarics lost no time in getting to
Texas bar. After they had travelled
around mysteriously for awhile they
grew communicative enough to ask few
questions. They soon learned that they
belonged to the numerous class Of Clark's
dupcs. They sold their entire camp

STATE REVENUE.

The following from the Gov
ernor's message is worth more than
passing notice. The legislature
being in session some proper steps
should be taken to regulate the
matter as set forth by the Govern
or:
Being a member of the Board
for Enforcement of the Collection
of Revenue. | refer you to the
report of the Controller, also the
report of the Board consisting of
the Governor, Controller and At
torney-General. Said reports re-
fer in detail to the subject of
valuation and rate of taxation. /
find the total assessed valuation of
the property for the year 1900 to
be $242S6,757,22. In my opinion
the true cash value of the property
contained in the State is at least
$Ioo,ooo,ooo. 1t seems to me that
your honorable bodies should give
special attention to the preparation
of a revenue law which will
remedy the present evil. Some
of the assessors seem to disregard
their duties in this respect. Prop
erty that sells for cash in hand at
from s. to So is assessed at $1.5o
and then only about one-half of
the said property is given in. Per-
sons possessing cash or bonds
seems to be favored by non-taxa-
ton, because such property is not
visible, but people who have small
homes are assessed at more than
their full value.
| recommend that a State Board
of Equalization be created, and
their powers and duties strictly
defined, and that said Board be
authorized to enforce the law to
the full extent.
