All the friends of 500 en- tombed men would make a good big army. Tho bosses and engineers and other officials were Americans. but most V,c t,-e miners were foreigners.

 All Fairmont divined what had hap pened when the deafening report of the explosions sheek the entire town. It $ possible that the disaster will prove to ba tho worst in the history of West 'Jirginia mining
 The Fairmont Coal Company. own CT ot tha two ill-fated mines. is one of the largest in the state. It oper- ates aboGt 50 mines in the FairmOnt field and employs about 7.500 men. C. w. Watson O. Fairmont, is president of the company. Mostly West Virgin ian capital is interested in the corpo- ration.
 Although the little mining village of about 5000 mining souls was plunged in the greatest state of excite ment and turmoil as a result of the disaster, Q pail of gloom and sorrow settled over its hilly topography. Hun dreds os the homes which were among the happiest in the land this morning when the husbands and sons and fath- CTS left for their work, are now the saddest This great transformation was all brought about in less than three horrs. The whole settlement is bereaved and weeping. Those who have been more fortunate and are known positively to have lost no loved ones when the explosion let go, are downcast and mourn for those who lost relatives and friends.
 All the roads and narrow alleywayS in the town lead to the mines. Frantic women and children have collected in crowds about the mines. Some of them are able to control their emotions and stand about sad-eyed but stolidly wait ing and prepared to hear the worst. It is not so with the great majority of them however. and man- of the wom- cn. principally foreigners, are hyster- ical. They run about screaming and wailing at the top Of their voices. tearing their hair and shouting out the names ot their dead ones who they believe are lost
 Everything possible is being done to allay the fears O. the women and children and keep them composed. but it .s a difficult problem, and one that l is meeting with but little success. Wild eyed women and children go about in the crowds From man to man. peering anxiously into the smutted and coal dusted features of each of the men, l looking for a husband a son or a faith CT. The saddest and most heartrend- ing scenes are being witnessed.

MISSED A CHANCE
 10 WIN SETTLERS
Yuma Was in the Running at Big Chicago Show, While the Salt River Valley Was Not Represented.

Phoenix has overlooked another good opportunity but to be forewarned is to be forearmed and perhaps this valley will be alive to the next one that comes along. especially to a repetition of this opportunity that will be offered next year. Reference is made to the Inter- national Live Stock Exposition. held annually in Chicago where there is also displayed on exhibition of the agricultural wealth of different sec tions of the country. mainly the west.
 Among the exhibits were displays from nine different sections of Calif- ornia, two from oregon. three from Idaho and one from Arizona. but the one was from Yuma and not from Phoenix. Last week 450,00O people at tended this show and there are now 450.000 more people in the world who have been given a hint of the pros perity of the Colorado valley, while most of them probably do not know that the Salt river valley is on the

SHOOTING OF DOGS
 Is NO EASY MATTER

The police department has about concluded to introduce hanging as a method of capital punishment for un- desirable dogs, the cruel and old fash toned practice of shooting them hav- ing proved ineffective. Tuesday after noon Officer Troutman was summoned to a lumber yard to shoot a trouble some dog and did so. Later on the animal recovered and began strolling around the premises when it was nec- essary for an employe of the yard to administer another dose with double barrelled shotgun. This was supposed to be an evidence of bad shooting on the part of Officer Troutman but a later incident indicates that the mod ern dog has become quite immune to powder and lead.
 There has been a homeless and seemingly worthless dog haunting Washington street for long time and

M0NONGAh DISASTER
 AS TOLD Al HOME
it Was Fully as Terrible as Described by the Early Dispatches.

c. l.. Michael. formerly of Fairmont. West Virginia, who is now a resident of Phoenix. has received a copy of the Morgantown Chronicle which contains an account o. the recent disaster in the Monongah mines. The paper states that the shock of the eXDlo s'on was felt in MOrgantown, which is nearly thirty miles away from the mines. Fairmont being about five miles away.
 It quite frequently occurs that when disasters Ot this kind take place the early reports of them are greatly eX- aggerated, either 2s tO the amount of propertv destroyed or the number of lives lost In this instance the news from the focal paoers indicates that the dispatches have but weakly paint ed the real effect of the trouble. though there is little to add except the story of Eorror. for the facts as tO death list ct. have been very accurate. Mir. Mich ael says he was acquainted with few men .gho lad employment at the mine as engineer or some similar capacity. hut he has not heard whether they es- caped O- rot.
 The ra2er relates that thousands of

Cook company bank will probably be able to meet the first pay roll under the new wage schedule in gold and that all wages will be paid in gold hereafter This will have a tendency to induce more of the miners to return to work than might otherwise do so. as one of their grievances appearing on the surface was the fact that the wages were to be paid in script. Sec retary Erb. of the Mine owners Asso- citation said tonight: "The COmbina- ton mine and mills certainly will re- sume work tomorrow. A sufficient number of men has been secured for that purpose. I cannot say what oth- CT mines and leases will resume"
 The statement has led To the belief that the whole effort O. the Mine own
 CTS Association is to be devoted to-
 morrow to re-opening ths one mine and that no attempt will be made to
 operate any other mine until the ar
 rival of the California miners or until
 more men from the local union have reported for work. If no more can be persuaded. no attempt will be made to work more. than one shift day for the
 remainder of the week.
 The official endorsement of the ac- ticn Of the local miners union by~ the executive board os the Western Fed eration at Denver today, word of which was telegraphed here. has greatly elat- ed the members of the union, who have
 been the leaders in the present strug- , gle. The- sa- 1t will have a tendency
 to keep man- in the ranks who might
 otherwise have deserted and gone back | to work There is TO evidence on the i surface tonight that any of the terri | blc scenes O. Cripple Creek and the Cour d'Alenes are to be repeated here tomorrow or afterward. The streets
 are remarkably quiet and no one seems ! tJ anticipate trouble.

THE EFFECT ON IT,

Goldfield. Nev.. Dec. 11.-President ROOseVelt's communication from Washington to Colonel Reynolds, in command of the federal troops at Goldfield, which were posted in con- spicious places throughout the city this afternoon by the direction of the president, put a different complexion on the situation here. This coupled with the fact that General Funston is to arrive in GOl1field to view the situ- ation and report to Washington has caused a complete change in the de- cision of the mine operators. who had hoped to be able through Governor Sparks to have martial law declared in GCldfield tonight and reopen the mines tomorrow under the active protection of the troops.
 Orders have been issued by Colonel Reynolds that no soldiers shall be giv- en the privilege of going outside the guard lines tomorrow. Camp No. ? is within 200 yards of the main shaft of the Consolidated company's mines. where an attempt to reopen them by the company was to be made tomor- row. Citizens, unless on argent busi- ness, will not be permitted within the camp lines.
 Governor Sparks tonight said that he was satisfied that Funston will find ample need for troops here and that he will advise that they remain in Gold field all winter. He says he sees no reason for changing his views regard ing the wisdom of sending for the troops, and that good results will be shown in the future when a repetition of the terrible scenes in other camps during such struggles will be avoided and a settlement of the labor difficult ties secured by peaceful means.

Un- doubtedly this is one of the best op- portunities for advertising by display that were ever presented and in view of the fact that the exposition is an annual event. Phoenix may be in the running next year.

one of their comrades led the authori-
ties to believe that the report was in
correct.
The board landed at the navy yard
just before o'clock and went at once
to the naval hospital to take deposit

Shredder of the Virginia, Captain KIM
ball of the New Jersey, Lieut.. Com
mander Castleman and will make To-
cal hotel headquarters until it returns
to the Georgia tomorrow. Until then
the Georgia will remain ir; the harbor.
The board began its investigation Tues
day aboard the battleship Georgia, care
fully inspecting the turret in which the
explosion occurred and taking evidence
Of such officers and men as were familiar
with the conditions about the turret at
the time of the explosion and were wit
nesses of the affair At noon today the
battleship Georgia steamed up from the
practice grounds at Provincetown into the
upper barbor and the board of inquiry
transferred its investigation to the nava,
hospital at Chelsea.
Owing to the critical condition of the
injured men in the hospital, four Of whom
it is feared may not survive the night
the surgeons in charge of the hospital
would permit the board of inquiry to ex-
anime but three Of the injured men. Capt.
Schroeder was particularly anxious to get
the evidence of Boatswain's Mate Frank
Schlapp. but such We're the injuries to his
face and throat that it is impossible for
him to give any testimony.
When the board was informed that
Samuel l.. Rosenberger, ordinary seaman
Of Philadelphia. was one of those who
could be interviewed, the board on con-
sulting its chart showing the position of
the men in the Georgia's S-inch turret
at the time of the explosion, expressed
great satisfaction. The other two men
who were interviewed by the board were
Charles Hansell. gunner's mate. of New
York, and Charles L. Eich. ordinary sea-
mar, of Frankfort, Ind. The nature of
the questions and dispositions made We're
not given out, the inquiry being strictly
secret.
1t is understood that the investigation

that tomorrow it's findings will be tram
