MIllloN-poLLAR GOLDEN CYCLE
MILL At COLORADO CITY
ON FIRE.
ATERRIBLE EXPLOSION
TEN ACRES OF STRUCTURES
WIPED OUT IN ABOUT TWO
HOURS OF TIME.

Colorado Springs.-Following a ter.
rife explosion in the roasting room.
the million dollar Golden Cycle mill at
Colorado City was destroyed by frs
Wednesday morning. The loss will ap.
proximate $500, 900. with about $4S0.-
900 insurance. Only the teaching room
and the transformer building were
saved, the flames licking up an area
OF about ten acres of structures in less
than two hours.
Although the origin OF the fire has
not been definitely determined IT Is
supposed to have been due to an ex-
plosion Of gas. At $50 O'Clock the
roasters In the old part of the building
exploded and 1t is believed this was
caused by the accumulation of gas in
the fire boxes.
About twenty men were in this room
at the the time and 1t is regarded as
marvellous that no one was hurt Fred
erick Brownley jumped from an upper
window twenty feet above ground, but
escaped uninjured and afterward
helped to fight the fire.
Fight Flames in Vain.
The departments of Colorado CITY
and Colorado Springs helped to battle
the flames, but the mill was doomed
almost before the alarm was turned in
The Colorado City department got wa
ter from hydrants on the mill grounds
and Chief E. E. Baty of Colorado
Springs laid LOO feet of hose from
the creek.
The wind was blowing from the
south and west when the fire started
and the flames quickly spread from the
roasting room to the sampler and the
ore bins.
After the fire had burned half
an hour the wind changed blowing
from the north, and the flames were
turned from the teaching room and the
transformer building. Had the wind
continued in one direction both build
ing would have been destroyed with
the rest OF the plant.
Fifteen thousand tons of ore was
stored in the bins, but as it would have
to have undergone roasting process
any way the loss will not be great
The seven roasters, all of which
were in operation, were badly damagee
although it is believed that four OF
them, recently installed, can be re-
paired. The fire started in the old part
of the building where three roasters
were stationed and these have been
damaged probably beyond repair. u

laramie-Poudre Ditch Under Way.

Greeley, Colo.-Several grading out
fits will be put TO work soon on the
big ditch of the Laramie Poudre lrri-
cation Company. which will be con-
structed from the mountains east for
forty miles into the Crow Creek coun-
try. This will be the highest ditch in
the irrigated section and will cross the
Union Pacific railroad just north of
the new town of Num- The ditch. when
completed, will be one of the largest
in northern Colorado and it. with its
laterals. will irrigate not less than 10.
ooo acres OF now arid land Already
water rights to the amount OF $780,
GOO have been sold to land owners
along the course OF the ditch.
The cost to irrisate will be $40 an
acre, ten per cent of which is paid at
the start and the balance in ten years.
The company also has force OF men
at work in the mountains. where a
ditch and tunnel will be constructed
to draw water from the Laramie river
into the Poudre valley. The company
also owns chain of lakes on this side
Of the range. These with other reser-
yoirs to be constructed. will make one
of the largest irrigation systems in the
state.
Arrangements also have been made
with the Poudre Valley Reservoir Com
pany to carry the first named com
pany's water in the latter's ditch for a
distance of sixteen miles. to Douglas
lake. From there to Cobb lake the
two companies will join in building the
ditch a distance of twelve miles The
Poudre Valley company will then com
plete Cobb lake as a storage reservoir
to hold 2ooo, ,000. 900 cubic feet OF
water.
Between the two their storage ca
pacity will be much greater than any
other system In this part Of the state

D,nycr-No relief is expected from
Washington. u C.. in connection with
the strike situation on the Colorado &
southern railway. Martin \ Knapp,
chairman OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission. and Charles p. Neill.
commissioner of labor, have made no
progress toward a settlement. and 1t
is now believed that nothing will be
accomplished by the mediators II is
improbable that they will come to
Denver. and if they do come they will
have a trying job to bring the men
and the company together.
A. u. Parker vice president OF the
Colorado & southern, says that his
telegram to the commissioners did not
ask them to take up the trouble OF the
company with the switchmen, who are
striking for an advance OF cents an
hour, but simply asked them to de
eide whether the brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen had violated it's con
tract with the company
The outlook is that the strike will
spread. Grievance committees of the
Denver & Rio Grande and other roads
are in the city. and they will make a
demand for an additional cents an
hour for the yardmsn also. II this is
done. II will either end the present
strike or cause II to spread to other
roads, Every railroad in the West is
threatened.

They are operating a gigantic pump

tons of coal day is used Had the ar

pump could again be operated
Aside from this loss IL would have
meant the closing down Of fifteen or
twenty properties drained through the
incline shaft.

FOR YOUNG MEN.

The State Executive Committee of
Young Mems Christian Associations of
Kentucky is promoting a plan by which
communities not large enough to or
ganize a Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION may still be accorded some of
the benefits of the organization.
The plan is to appoint in these places
a Representative of the Committee
known as a Corresponding Member"
He seeks out young men who are leav-
ing home and reports their names, with
such information as desired to office Of
the State Committee. Through cores
pondence, the Committee endeavors to
surround such young men on going to
their new places of residence with the
best possible influences.
Letters of introduction are given by
the Corresponding Members, to such as
may desire them, to the Associations in
the larger cities, where the young men
will be cordially received and will be
aided in securing employment, good
homes, and Christian fellowship; or if
they 90 to smaller places, they are
introduced to the Corresponding Mem
Der at that point, who renders the same
assistance.
Almost every prominent city in the
country has Young Mems Christian
Association, and there are now fifty
in cities, towns, colleges, and among
railroad men in Kentucky, besides Cor
responding Members in one-hundred
places where there are no Associations.
One of the many valuable features of
the Young Mems Christian Association
is that it offers a free reading room and
place Of resort to all young men, where
they may spend their evenings under
good influences. Among other things
the Association offers social parlors,
evening educational classes, enter
tainments, lectures, gymnasiums, en-
ployment bureaus, boarding house
lists, classes for Bible Study, Young
Mems Meeting, Etc, etc.
If for no other reason than this, we
are glad to call the attention of parents
and teachers, in fact, all friends of
young men to these organizations in
most Of our cities, and many of the
larger towns and villages Of our coun-
try.
The State Executive Committee has
lately appointed as Corresponding
Member for Cloverport Messrs. Lilburn
E. Smith and Ira ID. Behen, r. r.
Shops, who will be glad to have reports
of all young men leaving home and will
give any aid or information about work
for young men that may be in their
power.

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED
Body Found In River at Detroit Has
Cash In the Neck.

Detroit, May IA partially decom-
posed body found in the river near the
mouth of the Rogue river has been
identified as that of William Adams,
furnace man, whose home was in
Wellston, o., and who has been miss
ing since Oct. last. He had been
working here several months before
his disappearance. There is a cash in
the neck and an open jacknife was
found in the pocket. The day before
Adams disappeared he drew his sal
airy check of $74.50 at the Detroit
Furnace company and he also had on
his person that day $500 in bills. The
check was found in his clothing, while
the money is missing. The cash in
the neck and the disappearance Of
this money lead to a suspicion that
he may have been murdered.
