demand for feeding cattle that has character

male cattle department the good cows sold
promptly enough at steady prices and the early
market for heifers at least steady but
later in the day statesmen complained OF a diff
fculty in transferring late arrivals at morning
prices. The market this week has been very fr-
regular. it having been almost impossible 70

close of a day. When asked the relative
position Of values to-day compared with week
ago most dealers claimed that cattle that had

BUCK EYE SHAFT
HOUSE BLOWN UP.

An unusual accident occurred at the Buckeye
mine in Eclipse Gulch Wednesday afternoon
at abont 3:3o p. m. Very fortunately all the men
were in the mine at the time, something more
serious than mere loss of property would have to
be recorded AS it was the shaft house and mach
inery we're totally destroyed, causing loss OF sew
eral thousand dollars to the owners
The cause of the accident is more or less of
mystery as everything had been working with per
feet smoothness since the commencement of the
shift
The mine is under the management of Mr.. M.
O'Neil who had personal charge of the machinery
The only way he could account for the explosion
was that one of the valves had worked or Jared
loose, allowing the gas from the gasoline to ac-
cumulate under the flooring of the shaft house,
which was exploded by the heat from the engine
The mine belongs to the G. M. NJ. & T. Co., COM
posed partly of Colorado and partly of eastern
ers. The machinery and shaft house will be inn
mediately replaced and work resumed as soon as
