OPINION OF EXPERTS.
Recent Mine Disasters Due to eli.

Recent Mine Disasters Due to eli.
matte Conditions.
Pittsburg, Dec. ga number of
experts who have made partial inves
legations of the Naomi, Monongah
and Darr mine disasters are taking
the position that the explosions are
partly due to climatic conditions 1t
is noticeable fact, they say, that the
recent catastrophes have occurred at
about the same hour in the day, in a
zone Of certain altitude, in about the
same longitude and in places where
climatic conditions are similar.
The majority of the mines being
operated today are below the level of
the streams in the same sections and
owing to the moisture the outside air
forced into the mines by the fans has
been laden with carbon-dioxideN mois.
ture and other impurities.
1t is suggested that if the air forced
into the mines was gathered from a
higher stratum and was heated suffi-
GENTLY and otherwise treated to re.
move the impurities the accidents
would be less numerous during the
change of seasons.
Proper ventilation with this purified
air. it is believed, will remove to a
great extent the coal dust and explo-
sive gases which are found to GER
tain extent in every mine.

Goldfield People Alarmed Over With
drawal of Troops.
Goldfeld, New, Dec. News Of
the presidents order removing the
federal troops from this mining town
has caused a sensation among the
mine owners and the residents of the
city generally. After the news was re-
ceived conferences were held between
Captain Cox, the representative of
Governor Sparks in Goldfield, and Col
onel Reynolds, commanding the troops
here, and between the mine owners
and members of President Roosevelt's
commission.
President McKinnon and other Off
cials Of the miners union said that
the possibility of disorder or violence
Of any sort will be no greater after
the removal of the troops than now,
and that they will use every endeavor
to maintain peace and quiet.
Attorney o. N. Hilton, sent here by
President Meyer of the Western Fed
Grafton to assist in effecting, if possi-
BILE, compromise for the Western
Federation of Miners with the Mine
Owners association, after confer
ence with President McKinnon, said
that he was assured that no violence
would be attempted. He said also that
the position of the miners of the West

SHOTLEY PEOPLE DESIRE
TO FINISH THEIR ROAD
Have Built Considerable Road, and
Desire to Finish Outlet. ShotIey
to keIIiher.

P. S. Urseth, town clerk of the
Town of Shotley, northwest of
Kelliher, who was in the city yester-
day, tells of the efforts being made
by the farmers in the vicinity of
Shotley to provide good roads to
Kelliher and other points, so that
the farmers in that vicinity can
market their products.
Mr.. Urseth states that there has
already been 5000 spent in the con-
struction of the road from Shotley
toward Kelliher. Between three and
half to four miles of first-class
road has been built with this money,
and it is the intention of the Shot
ley farmers to complete the road to
connect with the splendid road which
extends from Kelliher westward to-
wards Shotley, the intervening dis
tance being about three miles. Two
miles of the distance left to connect
with the Kelliher road is in the town
of Shotley, and it is the intention of
the Shotley people to build the
road through the town and to ask an
apportion from Beltrami county for
the completion of the road the bal
ance of the distance Zone mile) to
connect with the Kelliher road.
With the present conditions, with
the road uncompleted to the Kelli-
her road, there is in the summer
practically no outlet from the Shot
ley country to Kel[iher except
through an almost impossible swamp
or by boat on Battle river. There
is some talk of the residents of Shot
ley township working for the purpose
of building large boat to ply the
waters of Red Lake and take out
their products of the north country.
If is more than likely that the
delegation of Shotley people will
appear at the next meeting of the
county board and ask for ar appro-
poration to complete the Sho.ley-
Kelliher road.

Minneapolis, came down from Deer

Pillsbury company has large lot of
timber about thirty miles north of
Deer River, on the Itasca Logging
company's railroad. and that the
Itasca company has been given a
contract to cut and haul 25,OOO,OOO
feet of the timber during this winter.
The timber will be hauled from a
point about thirty miles north of
Deer River and dumped on the ice
on the Mississippi river at Deer River,
to be RATED down the Mississippi to

The Itasca Logging company has
sixteen camps established along the
