GOLD KING
BUILDINGS
BURNED

Special Telephone to The Herald:
GLADSTONE. Colo, July 15.-The
Gold King Company suffered a disas-
trous fire late yesterday afternoon, the
boarding and bunk house. tram and
tunnel buildings. hoist building and
machinery, ore bins, etc. located at
the old workings of the mine being
destroyed. At these workings only
ten men are employed in looking af-
ter the hoisting of ore and the tram,
| and In n few days this force would
| have been cut off at this point, the
ore passing through the recently com
pleted American tunnel The men at
work did not discover the fire until the
upper portion of the boarding house
and bunk house We're enveloped in
flames, and were unable to save any
thing, let alone put out the fire.
The loss on buildings is fully GOV
cred by insurance, but the main loss
was the damage to the tramway. The
supports were burned and this per
mltted the tram to run wild. carrying
with it buckets. pulling over towers
and dumping the cable. At one place
tHe Tram cfbSStS II fdNihe sehtfal nun
dred feet high. The supports We're
damaged. and the wire rope dropped
TO the ground. Owing to the high
risks on trans no insurance was car
ried. The damage necessarily caused
cessation of work and the $50 Gold
King employees at mine and mill are
idle today and will be for several days
until some of the damage can be
repaired. The loss of buildings will
not prove as serious as it would have
been some weeks ago, as connections
have been made with the American
tunnel and the ore passes through the
same avenue. New buildings for the
accommodation of the men have been
erected near the mouth of the Amer
lean tnnnel.

| other. WAS native of the state of
| Saxony in Germany He came to the
United States when young man and
| stopped in New York, where he learn
ed the cigarmaker's trade. After a
| few years he came west. stopping at
Pueblo for time, where he worked
in wholesale house. The spirit of
the pioneer was strong in him, and he
pushed on to Durango in 1882, twenty
two years ago. He engaged at once
in mining in the La Plata mountains
| and followed that line of work for
| some years. He accumulated consid-
cradle mining property, but later let
the most of 1t go. when the mining in
dustry was not looking very bright for
that district.
Twice he was engaged in the bot
tling works business in Durango, and
at one time he conducted a store in
La Plata City and at another time a
saloon.
Coroner nood and George Dick, an
old friend of MIR. Wieiand. made a
search of his papers and personal eff
fects this afternoon in the hopes of
finding something in regard to his rel
etives, but at last reports nothing
whatever as to the whereabouts of his
relatives had been found. Mr.. Dick
knew the deceased well, and said he
had not written home in abont four
years, but that he knew he had sis
ter In the old country although he
was not informed as to whether there
were any other relatives or not.
Mr. Wieland had some mining prop

believed to be incumbered for about
all it is worth.
Mr.. Wieland was known as lib

man who was in hard luck can tes-
tify to his generosity. and when he
was in the mercantile business he
helped out many a poor prospector.
His friends say he was too busy help
ing others to succeed himself, and the
last act of his life goes to show that
he never shrank from danger or
thought of self when there was a Eel
low being in distress. He lost his
life trying to save another. More than
this no man can do.
Martin Wieland was a member oil
the Elks lodge. which order Will bury

A team belonging to Evans Hamp-
ton took fright and broke loose from
their hitching post at Snyder's store
this morning. Only one tug was
hitched, the other three having been
dropped, so they soon became un-
fastened from the wagon. The wagon
ran into the front of the Oxford sa-
loon and the horses ran down to the
railroad track and stopped. The pole
of the rig struck against the front
of the oxford and knocked board
out Dad German thought they were
coming in and he began to make
room for them by moving to the rear.
So far nothing has been heard from
the party that went after the thieves
who stole the ten head of mules from
Charley Payne. II is presumed the
pursuing party is still hot on the trail
and they will have no time to lose If
they catch the thieves before they get
into the Blue mountains. II they reach
that haven of refuge before they are
overtaken it will be folly to fol-
low them further. Speaking about
the pursuing party wanting a com
mission as deputy sheriff, an officer
said that such a commission would
be of no benefit to them, for the
thieves could undoubtedly be taken
as easily without as with deputy
sheriff's commission. They would
probably make hot fight in either
case. The pursuers would be justi-
fed in taking them by any means by
which they could get them, commits
sion or no commission.

WHO is RESPONSIBILITY

That New Brunswick idea which
was to the effect that the contractors
for the new Raritan river bridge
were using the War Department MS
n tool to delay completion of the
structure was nailed as absolutely
fnlso by Mr.. Sanford, a member OF
tho firm. ut tho hearing in Now York,
Friday. Mr.. Sanford declared that
they were only too anxious to go
ahead with the work aud used argu-
ments to show why it should proceed,
He seems to have little patience with
the manufacturers committee which

The contractors have good reason
to be anxious to go ahead with the
contract. They have about $50, 600 yet
coming to them and tho material for
finishing the bridge is all on the
ground, being ruined In the weather.
If this pile of material SHOULD be alb

COMMENT.

Tho summer schools and children's
Fairgrounds are to be opened in New
ark next Monday. The registration in
the schools for the summe term OF
six weeks is large and shows the alb.
solute need of these schools. There
is not registration for the play
grounds, but their necessity will be
abnndantly shown by, the attendance
of children during the summer. To
some extent, also,- they are schools

New Jersey has gathered in the
snug little sum of 50, 436, $40. IA, taxes
for the year 1904, from concerns in
corporated in this State and doing
business here or elsewhere. 1t is not
an enormous amount of money, as
private aud corporation fortunes go
nowadays, but it is of great assis-
tance in running the State lnstitu-
tions. and is large enough to cause
other States much envy and to incite
foreign newspapers to make censor-
ious emark about New Jerseys cor
poration laws. THESE invidions com
ments would make the State feel very
badly, no doubt, were it not for two
facts; first, all the adjacent States
