Mass Meeting Adjourned until
This Evening.
A COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED

A mass meeting attended by
every miner employed at the Can
field mine was held at the mouth
of the slope this morning to dis
cuss the acceptance or rejection of
the new scale submitted by the
owners of the mine, the Colorado
Fuel q Iron company, last Mon
day,
Joe Ball, division superentend-
ent of this district, was present
and explained every detail of the
new scale.
After a general discussion among
themselves, the miners appointed
Sam q. Abernethy, Edward t.
Williams, George Belch and Mike
Dejocamo committee to confer
with Mr.. Ball in regard to some
changes the miners ask. After
the appointment of the com mittee
the meeting was adjourned until
this afternoon to give Mr.. Ball a
chance to confer with General
Manager Kebler of Denver, of the
company, asking him in regards to
the advance
The miners are willing to accept
the scale of thirty-fve cents per
ton for loading coal, provided that
the company will give them one
cent per inch for the removal of
the dirt. If this is done, it will
be big advance over the submit
ted scale, because tho company
wants the men to handle all dirt
measuring six inches or less for
nothing, to be classed under the
head of dead work.
AT this mornings meeting a vote
was taken to accept the proposition
as offered, but the majority voted
against it, The mine was idle
today,
The adjournment meeting is in
session this afternoon and the SEN
timent of the miners is not to
strike for the present at least At
this hour no agreement has been
reached and it may be necessary
to send this committee to Denver
to confer with Kebler

WORLDS FAIR
COMMISSIONER HERE
Awakening Interest 10 Have
County Represented.
LIKELY CONCRETE BUILDING

beorge w. thatcher, com mis-
sioner in chief for the state of
Colorado to the Worlds Fair ex-
position to be held in st. Louis in
1901, is spending a few days in
the county looking over its indus
tries and and awaking au interest
in the people of Colorado to have
the state properly represented at
the exposition so that it's indus
tries and advantages can be
brought to the attention of the
Fasteners,
The commi ssioner WAS driven
over the oil field by Mr. j Wallace,
general manager of the United Oil
company, and the field was
thoroughly covered by the two
gentlemen. Mr. Thatcher spoke
volumes for the oil industry of
Florence and says that it is des-
tined to become one of the greatest
oil centers in the entire world
lie says that the people are Just
awakening to the value of oil in
terests of this western world and
that according to the present indi-
cations a rush will be experienced
in this territory There is enough
oil in the Florence district to sup
port 10000 people, but it will be
many years before it is worked up
to that point He knows of sever
al companies who are forming in
other towns to assist in legiti-
ND ply developing the Florence
oil field.
Last evening he was, driven by
Mr.. Wallace to the Portland com
pany's immense cement works,
which are located only six miles
east of Florence. He spoke in
high estimation of that plant and
its possibilities He thinks the
shale bed from which the factory
is supplied is one of the most re-
markable and wonderful deposits
anywhere and that he believes that
within the course of few years
more factories will be built.
Mr.. Thatcher's aim in visiting
those works was to induce Mr..
Moore to exhibit the advantage of
of his cement at the Worlds Fair
by having built, a concrete house.
rhis would prove novelty to
Eastern people and those from
other countries. BY this the fame
of Portland cement made in Ere.
mont county will be given wo rid
vide reputation 1t has not been
learned what SUCCESS he met with
at the h lnds of Mr.. Moore.
The commissioner visited Flor
ence in 1894 He says that the
changes in the town are many and
those in the surrounding districts
were more varied
He was pleased 10 see the fruit
trees in bloom and predicts that in
future fruit growing will be made
more of study than in the past
There are boundless posi- bilities
Tor fruit culture in and about
Florence.
The gentleman WAS also driven
out to the coal camps by couple
of Florence's most prominent men
and it may be that he will have a
representation of Fremont county
coal at the Fair.
Mayor J. Q Mcdonald took him
IN tow and explained to him the
mysteries of treating ore. he was
shown through every department
