PITTSBURG, Sept. 2.-Notices
posted today in the mines of the
Pittsburg district resembling a
recent order for the use of black
powder in the workings, terminal
ed an incipient movement of 49,
600 miners toward strike.
AS soon as an order was issued
by the companies commanding the
use of black powder a confer
ence Of the national executive
board of the United Mine Workers
of America was held. The board
called upon Chief Mine Inspector
James q. Roderick of Pennsylva-
MIA to investigate the use of black
powder and it's effects upon the
men. Shortly afterward COM
pany officials sought conference
with the mine workers officials,
and as an outcome the order was
rescinded.

The council, almost luminous
ly, is now for the gravity water
system, but the administration still
hates to give up its pet scheme of
the wells and Glover creek.
Commissioner McGregor last
night admitted in a letter to the
council that his Glover creek
scheme had collapsed after he had
spent several hundred dollars ex-
perimenting. He further admitted
the present pumping plant is an
expensive and unsatisfactory con-
Germ, and now he wants to throw
it away, go and dig a different
kind of wells and put in another
kind of machinery.
Wants Open Wells Now
He wants a big open we'll and
a turbine pump. The city tried
the open we'll three years ago and
1t did not work, and the council
has about made up its mind to
quit experimenting and go for the
gravity system. The solons, how
ever, voted $1,000 more for the
commissioner to bolster up his new
Hood street reservoir. This res
ervoir has just been completed and
is in danger of sliding into the
gulch now. The thing is not like

McGregor Is Scored
Armstrong kicked. So did
Turnbull. He said he wanted the
advice of an engineer before he
would vote any more money for
the commissioner to spend.
The whole water question was
gone into and Armstrong finally
moved that the commissioner go
ahead as he was ordered some
weeks ago and carry forward the
gravity system.
1.-THE city will be bankrupt and
its credit not worth cent If we
allow the commissioner to go on
this way spending money for a
water system that produces moth
ing but wind" said Armstrong.

he was glad to see the councilmen
now ready to do what should have
been done years ago-go for the
gravity system where they could
get an ample supply of water for
all purposes.
The whole matter was finally
sent to the special water commit
tee and 1t will be taken up Friday
night, when the council meets
again.
Indications are that steps will
be taken to get to work on the
gravity system at once. 1t is pos
sible a levy may be made this year
to raise funds to start the work.

IRELAND'S REPRESENTATIVE

Declares No Such Opportunity Has

Freedom

LONDON, Dec. John E. Redmond,
leader of the Irish party, has forwarded
a manifesto to II. p. O'COnnOr. preSi-
dent of the United Irish league of
Great Britain, who is now in New
York addressed to the friends of Ire
land in the United states and dealing
with the British political crisis.
Mr.. Redmond congratulated Mr.
O'Connor on the success of his mis-
sion in America, and expresses the
gratitude of the Irish party at the
warm response of the American people
to Ireland's appeal. The manifesto
says
Never has the situation confronting
Ireland been at the same tine more
critical and more hopeful.
LAS between the two great English
parties in the present contest, the irish
party stands absolutely independent.
Not for 130 years has such an oppor-
tunity been offered to Ireland. The
lords veto has been described recently
by Rosebery and Lausdowne as the
only remaining safeguard against the
granting of home rule to Ireland. All
that is necessary to enable Ireland 20
profit by this opportunity is that the
unity, discipline and efficiency of the
party be maintained.
But the Irish party Is threatened
with graver dangers Against it are
arrayed great and wealthy interests,
and Unionists have declared their in
tention of naming candidates in every
constituency in Ireland with the
avowed purpose of eXhausting the
party's funds This policy was tried
against Parnell in 1856 and failed ig-
ANONYMOUSLY, thanks to American gen
erosity. So far as voting is concerned |
it viii fail more ANONYMOUSLY now than
in 1856, but the extra expenditure in
volved will severely tax the party's re- |
sources. We therefore would welcome |

MARIC0PA DRILLERS HAVE
THRILLING EXPERIENCE
WITH EXPLOSION OF GAS

\. 6. Nichols editor of the Oil In
dustrY, has received an interesting let
ter from MariCopa describing the re-
cent blowout at the New Center No. I
well. which graphically describes the
event and gives an insight into some
of the dangers of drilling oil wells in
strong gas field. The letter is from
@. b Primmer, driller and n. White,
tool dresser According to the writer,
they had "a small blowout" which
lifted the tools out Of the $50 foot hole
and when they dropped the rope it
caught i'm several half-hitches and
broke. The heavy drill dropped to the
bottom and was buried 100 feet in sand
and shale. Two days later, while the
driller was running a spud around the
tools to loosen them. there was an ex-
plosion of gas which was heard for
three miles, followed a second later by
second one equally as great. The
first string of tools was blown out of
the hole and 200 feet above the der
rick, breaking off one side of the roof
and moving the crown block over to
one corner TO make room for the sec
oud stem, which went up, according
To different estimates. between 600 and
1000 feet" 1T didn't look any bigger
than crow bar said Primmer. The
first string ON the downward course
passed the second on its way up and
buried itself fourteen feet deep in the
solid ground within thirty feet of the
derrick. The second string came down
ON the hull wheel house and buried
itself in the sump.
AT the first sound of the roaring gas
Primmcr and White sprinted for
safety, and were shoWered with de-
scendiug gravel and rocks before they
escaped from the firing line. I'VE
made the first 100 yards in a little
better than nothing and when the big
rocks began to- fan around us we did
even better than that on the second
100" wrote Primmcr.
