ON MINE DISASTER
A REPORT IS

Especial to The Sen .inel. !

tSpeClal 10 Inc sen n-IHel. y
Denver. June 19.-W. J. McCar-
thy, deputy mine inspector has filed
his report on the accident in the Gold
King mine with State Mine Inspector
DalZell.
Under the laws of Colorado, the
state mine inspector has 20 right to
fix blame. The result is that the
report merely tells that the men are
dead and that their death was caused
from fumes from the burning build
ing, all of which everybody knew.
So far as fixing the responsibility
of the accident is concerned, it was
not lodged against anyone, and per-
haps never will be.
The state law makes no provision
for the fixing of the responsibility
where men are killed in mine, 9th
er than the investigation of the cor
oner. The mine inspector can. after
his investigation. order that the
burned portion be reconstructed diff
ferently, so as to prevent future ac-
cidents of this kind.
