The telephone wire is owned by the
Colorado Telephone company, but the
only place in Primero where any in
formation concerning the accident can
be obtained is at the Colorado Fuel

might be expected, the employees are
not inclined to give out anything for

ders and it might lead to dismissal
from service.
Excitement at Mines.
The mine where the explosion took
place is fully a mile from the com

stood that the greatest excitement ex-
lists at the mine, where rescue gangs
are hard at work clearing away the de-
bris and locating the bodies of the
dead miners.
Dead Are All Foreigners.
At the company's store at Primero a
statement was given out rather BELT,

Parish REGISTERS.

lage church in the Eastern Counties
and was solemnly informed by the
somewhat garrulouS parish clerk that
the registers went back to the time OF
William the ConquerOr, says ]. F. VIII
liams in The Treasury. Lest the same
startling opinion may be held by 9th.
ers, let me hasten to say that parish
registers were unknown in England
before the end of Henry Wits reign,
and happy Is that parish which still
possesses its records even from that
date. For our earlier registers have
certainly had very checkered career,
and when we read the story of the
treatment which has been meted out
to them during the three or four GEN.
turtles of their existence, we can only
wonder that they exist in such num-
bers as they do.
