lgniting Blast.

Florence, Colo, June S.--Joe Rankin
and Albert Jones were injured serr-
ously and John jenkins, better known
as Shorty" was burned slightly by
a terrific explosion at the Radiant coal
mine Wednesday. 1t happened at z
o'clock in the morning. It is a miracle
that Rankin was not blown to atoms
as he was carrying the powder on his
right shoulder. Along the roof of the
tunnel two electric wires were strung
seven inches apart. These furnished
light throughout the mine. One is a
positive wire and the other negative
wire, and as Jenkins walked along, the
keg on his shoulder slipped in be-
tween the two, causing short circuit.
Instantly the twenty-four pounds Of
blasting powder exploded with terrific
force and Rankin was knocked sense.

he also was burned badly and bruised.
Jenkins was twenty-five feet away and
was hurt only by flying rock. If the
air current had not been good all the
men would have been suftocated by
the smoke, as they were 1,400 feet
from the mouth Of the tunnel. The
two badly injured men were taken to

RECLAMATION ACT
INCLUDES TEXAS
Money From "Restrict Fund" 4
Build Rio Grande irrigation
Project.

Ell Paso, Texas, June S.-The bill In.
troduced by Mr.. Smith Of this district,
and passed by the House, after some
opposition had developed and had been
placated, has now passed the Senate,
and goes to the President for his sig
nature. The President recommended
the measure in his annual message.
The act provides that Texas shall
be included In the national reclamation
act, on a par with the 16 other states
and territories named In the act. Mon
ey derived from the sale Of public
lands anywhere in the country may be
applied upon reclamation projects any.
where in Texas, on the same terms
as in other states.
The act, besides providing means by
which arid Texas can be greatly bene
fited, reinforces an important principle
Part of the reclamation fund is what is
called restricted fund" that is, 81
per cent of the money derived from the
sale Of the public lands in each state
and territory has been entered upon
the books to the credit of the state
or territory where the lands lie whose
sale provided the money. This 81 pei
cent is supposed to be spent within
such state or territory, while the re-
naming 49 per cent may be used else
where. Already as a matter of policy
1t has been determined that the 81
per cent also may be used elsewhere
provided 1t be returned to the funt
within ten years to be spent within
the state Of it's "origin." But this
Smith bill recognizes the right. of al
the states In proceeds of the sale o.
public Landslide partnership property
of the public lands. Though Texas
has no national public lands, sht
shares ownership with all other states
in the public domain, and the arlt
part of the state is now included witt
the other arid regions in the reclama
ton act.
In order to build the Rio Grande pro
1ect in the near future, money will hav,
to be taken out of the "restricte,
funds" of the other states and terrific
ries. The more strongly the policy o
temporary diversion can be intrenchet
the more chance there Is to get tn,
big dam started.

Circumstantial evidence presented

evidence ever adduced, and friends OF
Mr.. Cannon have taken note of the
proceedings and are properly resent.
full. Mr. Cannon Is not an announced
candidate for the Presidency. It Is
perhaps too much to say that he is
not receptive candidate, for the high
office is one which man cannot well
put from him If the people choose to
proffer 1t. But even though the pre-.

been subjected to the attacks of a
candidate who sees in him possible

Vice President Fairbanks attacked the
speaker viciously in It's editorial col

pure food delay, and intimated that n
was his will that measure which

This newspaper attack is taken in
Washington as significant of only one
thing, and that is the desire of the
presiding officer of one House of Con
gress to remove from the field Of
Presidential rivalry the presiding off

been created is too patent to be con

MEXICANS ADMITTED
WITHOUT FUNDS
In Order That Railroads May Secure
Enough Men to Carry on
Work.

El Paso, June S.--The necessity for
labor on the railroads has become SO
stringent that the government has de-
cided to come to the rescue of the
railroads and relax the immigration
laws once again.
Until few months ago, for a period
Of several years past, the officials have
not been very strict In the enforce
ment of the immigration laws against
Mexican laborers applying for admis-
sion along the border, but some weeks
ago the citizens of Arizona and New
Mexico began complaining that idle
Mexicans were causing reign of ter
ror and were not working when al.
lowed to come into the country, but
were robbing, stealing and endanger'
ing the lives of Americans.
The department at once put up the
boards and prescribed that a Mexican
laborer must stand the same examina.
ton as any other foreigner--that is,
that he must have a certain sum oi
money in his possession before he
could come into the United States.
This cut down the immigration over
SO per cent, and then the railroads set
up complaint. They declared that
they could not get help and that the
only way to remedy the matter was
for the immigration officials to return
to the old CUSTOM
After the roads had all been heard,

BOYS AND CIGARETTES
WIPED OUT TOWN
Youngsters Smoke In Vacant House
Causing Disastrous Fire In
Mining Camp.

Florence, Colo, June S.-The entire
business section of Querida has been
destroyed by fire.
Starting at 10 o'clock on Monday
night, 1t ragged until 9 o'clock Wednes
day morning, when 1t burned itself out
Guerida is mining camp In Custer
County, thirty miles south of here.
The loss cannot be estimated with
any degree of accuracy but 1t Is not
under $4,000. The flames are
thought to have started In an empty
building. 1t was caused accidentally
by some small boys who had gathered
there and were smoking cigarettes
Some people claim that 1t was the
work of an incendiary.
A strong wind was blowing and 9th
er buildings caught fire. In few
moments 1t was seen that large part
of the town was doomed. Querida has
no water system and the only method
of fighting the flames was by bucket
brigade from the numerous private
wells. Not single piece Of apparatus
was in the place and the bucket bri
gade was beaten back by the intense
heat.
Dynamite then was tried and severa
buildings blown up, but to no avail
BY morning three blocks, the best part
of the town, were in ruins. Only the
direction of the wind saved the resi-.
dence part although, as the houses
were rather scattered, some might
have been saved even had the fire
kept on burning.
A. T. Easton, Rockvale merchant
who had branch store there, prob.
ably is the heaviest sufferer. He lost
about $4,000 L. D. Reeves, who also
had a general merchandise store, was
also a heavy loser. DR.. Sherry, who
had drug store, lost his entire stock;
also his household goods, as he lived
back OF his store. Others affected by
the fire are: John Gill, George Phillips
Amy Stuff, M. M. st. Clair, A. D. Nc
Kenzie, state representative from Gus
ter County, and e. w. Eddy, formerly
of Coal Creek.
The Bassick mine, one of the mos,
famous silver mines in the state, was
far enough away from the town to
escape destruction. None of the mine
buildings located near by are report
ed damaged. 1t is not likely that much
OF the town will be rebuilt, as the min
ing industry there is not booming a.
present. In the early days Querida
was a well-known camp, but as silver
declined so did its prosperity.
The place received its greatest blow
two years ago when the big cyanide
mill erected by the Bassick Com
pany was destroyed by fire. Only a
year ago block of the town was
burned and large hotel Quilted. Al
that fire dynamite was used to blow
up other buildings and the town was
saved.
