The cooker is a steel contrivance
about eighty feet in length by twenty
feet in diameter used in cooking the
mashes. 1t is presumed that vacuum
was formed and when the steam was
turned on to cook today's mash the
explosion followed. The cooker was
hurled through the north wall of the

feet. The entire north wall OF the dis
tillery was blown down and the south

all over the neighborhood
The distillery management estimates
their financial loss at fully $4,000,
and it will be some weeks before the
plant can be repaired sufficiently to re-
sumo operations. Thousands OF peo-
pie quickly gathered at the scene to
assist in the work of rescue.
James McManus, an employee of the

OKeefe was still alive when removed.

Wonderful neutrality-suspicious. and
ersonals-Mergers All the Go.

Strikes and lockouts at the gold
mines in Cripple Creek and other gold
inning districts in Colorado have al
ready reduced the mineral production
of the state this year at least $780,
600, and if the present conditions OBJ
tain until the end of the year the pro-
duction will fall more than $6,000.0 90
below what it would have been under
normal conditions. In consequence of
the strike, 1000 soldiers of the Colo
RADIO national guard have been doing
police duty in cripple Creek for four
weeks, and as yet neither the mine
owners nor the strikers show any evil
dence of weakening. The cost to the
state of maintaining the military force
in the field is estimated at $4,000 a
month.
The unsettled conditions in the min
ing industry are due to the failure of
the legislature to enact an eight hour
day applying to mines, mills and
smelters after the voters of the state
had adopted a constitutional amend
ment authorizing such an enactment.
An eight hour day had been generally
granted at the mines, and the Western
Federation of Miners determined to en-
force the same condition in mills and
shelters. Strikes were inaugurated
last June at the smelters in this city
and the mills in Colorado City, and
eight weeks ago 1000 miners in the
Cripple Greek district were ordered by
the executive officers of the federation
to go on strike in support of the de-
mand for an eight-hour day for mill
and smelter employees, which had been
refused by the American Smelling &
| Refining company and the United
States Reduction & Refining company
The miners obeyed the order reluctant
ly, as they had no grievance as to
their own hours of labor or wages, and
with few exceptions they have con
tinued on strike since.
The Mineowners' association has an
nounced that no further employment
will be given to any member CT the
! Western Federation of Miners. The
Portland company, which owns anC
operates a mill for the treatment o.
it's ores, made terms with the unior
and reopened it's mines, giving EN-
ployment to about 500 men.
The Woods Investment company
also continues to operate the Colo
Coin and other Mines shipping the ore
produced to it's own mill, but yield
ing to pressure from the Mine
owners association, this company has
now locked all it's union miners out
and joined the associations fight
against the Western Federation Of
Miners.
Several companies are operating
their mines with nonunion men, Of
whom it is claimed by the Mineowr
ers' association, there are now work
ing in the district 100. Officers OF
the miners union assert that the mum
Der at work is much smaller, and that
most of those employed are laborers
