SALT LAKE AND

BEAR DIES AT THE

Horse Valued at $4,000 and Holder Of
the Worlds Mile

Salt Lake, April 2S.-A tragedy oc-

A human life wasn't lost, but one of

horse. The Bear, valued at $4,000,
died from a sudden attack OF lung
fever, the most malignant and dread
cd ailment to which the highly-ten-
stoned and finely-bred thoroughbred
is heir to. Catching severe cold In
his car while making the trip through
the mountains en- route from Los An
geles, the horse rapidly developed
high fever. which carried him of yes

many persons paying vigil at his
death throes as were seen thronSing
about The Bears stall as soon as IL
became known that the noted horse
was about to die, The news spread
like wild1re, and from every section
of the fair grounds came the owners,
trainers, jockeys. darky rubberS and
the nondescript followers OF the
ronles. The Bear walked around his
stall for hours. Then he sank to the
straw. and with sudden kick and a
twitch he sprawled out, and really
splendid race horse was no more

TAKEN FROM TOMB
OF GllSONiTE
Death Of Greeks at Dragon Leads to
New Method Of Mining Hydro
Carbons.

Steam will be the method used In
mining hydrocarbons in the future.
The old method of blasting and the
like will probably never be used
again" says George II. Mulvey, super
intendent Of the Pittsburg &Salt Lake
OIL company's Tabbylte and Gilsonite
mines. near Vernal. THE old method
Is far too dangerous, and since two
Greeks were buried in the mine near
Dragon, considerable effort has been
made TO devise some new method by
which the hydrocarbons could be brok'
en- down with less danger TO the min
ers. | understand that 1t was purely
through an accident that 1t was dis
covered that the material could BIO
broken out of the cuts, by which hydro
carbons arc mined. by stream OF
steam. Since then all the mining OF
Gilsonite has been done by steam.
THE death Of the two Greeks was
great object lesson. 1t taught that
the dust from Gilsonite mines is eX-
tremely explosive and that the slight
est carelessness is liable TO be follow,
ed with destruction. Another thlnS
that was shown was that casing Of
Gilsonite is absolutely air proof and
preSeryatiYe.
The two Greeks killed at the Dragon
mine, which is owned by the so-called
trust. had their lives snuffed out on
February IL. 1908. in an explosion due
to the igniting OF the dust that col
lected in the mine. The explosion
brought hundreds of tons of stun about
the bodies which were blown TO pieces.
The mine was set on fire and the
tongues of fire shot into the air for
several hundred feet Persons living
so miles from the place were able to
plainly detect the flames. AS the hire
got deeper it encased itself and was
| finally sealed up and smothered,
The two Greeks wer found April II,
after being in the Gilsonite casing, for
more than a year. Their bodies show
cd no signs of decay and no change
had taken place from the time they
were covered up until found The re-
mains could hardly be Identified on ac'
count of the explosion.
By the use of the steam pipe by
| which the rock was knocked down the
bodies were taken out In a good state
of preservation.
There is one thing against the min
ing OF this class of minerals with
steam, and that Is that 1t collects q
large amount of debris and is not as
| easily sorted. This OF course, lowers
| the market price, yet it is a saving
in life and yields better returns.

LARGE CREW REINFORCING
CANYON BREAKWATER

A large crew of men has been en-
ployed In Ogden canyon during the last
twenty.four hours reinforcing the
breakwater structures along the river
so as to protect the canyon road
against the high water that prevails
there at this time.
The cold wave of yesterday had a
tendency to lower the water in the
river to a marked degree. and II is
thought that If 1t continues cold for
another day sufficient work can be
done In reinforcing the mason work
and other construction between the
river bed and the highway TO avert
serious damage.
