THE troubl. with our government

loyalty is loyalty TO the money bags.
"'WIll II pnyT' has been substituted

ANNOUNCEMENT A BY
STATE UNIVERSITY

Denver. Jan. 26.-An important pub
lication consisting of some twenty five
pages has just been issued from tho
University OF Colorado containing n
complete statement OF tho revised nd
mission requirements which have been
adopted as the outcome OF the Uni
versity and High School conferences
which took place In Boulder last
month. The new requirements are in
conformity with the recommendations
OF the North Central Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools. The

quired Greek for the a. B. degree. but
this requirement has been given up by
many of the older institutions and It
seemed advisable for the University of

THIRTEEN KILLED
IN VICTOR TIME

Victor. Colo. Jan. 2G.-The worst nc.
eident that ever occurred In the Grip
pie Creek district happened this morn
ing. Tho disaster occurred at 2:45 n
IN. ut Strntton's Independence mine. 10.
Gated about n thousand feet from the
business center OF this city. Fifteen
miners were killed outright. In the
main shaft OF the mine sixteen men
were being boisted on the cage from
the sixth. seventh and eighth levels
When the cage got to the surface In
the shaft house, Engineer Frank Gel.
lcse I'm charge OF the big hoisting en-
gino in some way that is yet to be ex.
planned was unable to stop the engine
which drew the cage with its human
load up into the gallows frame up into
the sheaves. The cable parted. releas-
ing the cage, which went down the
shaft with fourteen of the men at ter
rife momentum.
Two Of the men who went up with
the cage TO the top OF tho gallows
frame were caught In the timber rods
there.
One of them. L. Z. Jackson, a man
about fifty-five years OF age, was In
stanriy killed by the sheave wheel fall
ing upon him. His body was pinned in
the timber.
Tho other man, James Bullock, had
n marvellous escape. He received some
severe bruises and some scalp wounds.
but was rescued from the top timbers
without being fatally injured.
As soon as the fact OF the disaster
was learned by the men in the shaft
house, n score Of miners was sent down
on the donkey hoisting cage through
another compartment OF the shaft for
the purpose of determining where the
fallen cage and its occupants had
gone to.
Their bodies were found scattered at
the stations at different points.
The following is full list OF the
killed:
w. r. Frazier. John Sebeck. Joe
Smitherum. Edward Twiggen, l.. A.
Wagner, H. A. Yeoman. Edward
Smith. Joe Overy, II. +. Brown, w. b.
Collins. J. l.. Steward. Frank Coch-
rane, l.. p. Jackson. Harry Cogene.
The cage fell close to 1900 feet. 1t
plunged into the sump ut the 1,4o0-foot
level, where there is a depth of twen-
ty-five feet of water. Some of the
men were carried down with the cage
into the sump. Just how many is not
yet known.

WILL INVESTIGATE
MINE ACCIDENT

Denver. Jan. aI.-The Republican
commissioner OF the state bureau
OF mines. left last night for Cripple
Creek. In company with r. J. Nc
Carthy. one OF his deputy mine inspcc'
tors. who was In Cripple Creek when
the accident happened. Mr.. White will
make n thorough investigation OF the
breaking OF the cage cable in the In
dependence mine. the dropping OF the
cage and the consequent killing OF
fifteen men.
Regardless OF the fact that circum.
stances seem to indicate that the af'
fair was an accident. n rigid invesiiga
tion will be made. II Is claimed that
there are some suspicious circum'
stances TO he explained away. and per
haps they will be when the investi'
cation Is completed II seems plain
that the cable broke because of the
great strain put upon IL after the
cage had been hoisted above the shaft
floor and against the framework above
the shaft. but IL is not so certain that
the hosting apparatus might not have
been tampered with.
When the independence mine re-
opened after the strike was declared
and before any men were sent down
on the cage, 1t was found that some
person had tampcred with the brak-
ing mechanism OF the hoist. The en-
gineer hoisted the cage after sending
II down without any trouble. but when
the cage neared the top OF the shaft
he found that he could not control
the hoisting apparatus. and the heavy
cage went up and crashed into tho
roof OF the shaft house.
The affair was investigated by the
military authorities and they satisfied
themselves that some one tampcrcd
with the braking device in order to
cause the death or injury of some o.
tho men put to work in the mine.

DEATH OF CAPT. RENDER
Pneumonia Claims an Old Resident
 of Globe

W. II. Tender, a well known miner and for twenty years resident Of Globe, died of pneumonia at l0;40 m. Wednesday night, at the home of w. T. Mitchell, opposite the smelter. Deceased had been in failing health for the past year, but his last illness dated only from Friday night, the 5th inst. Few of his aequaintances knew of his sickness and the announcement of his death was therefore shock.
 Capt" Tender, as he was called, was native of Lascard, Cornwall, England, and was j5 years of age. He came to America when 20 years of age, stopping in Pennsylvania with a brother and working for time in the coal mines. Coming west he settled in California, where he remained for a number of years. In 1883, he was In Pioneer, mining camp ip the Finals, sixteen miles south of Globe. and in 1881 he came here and has resided in Globe continuously ever since.
 Capt. Tender, while he had bis weaknesses like most other mortals, was a man of good principle, and he will be missed by his old time friends As far as known he had no relatives living.
 Deceased was a member of White Mountain Lodge, No. 3, F. & A. M, under whose auspices the funeral will take place, probably on Sunday,
