HURT IN THE SILICA
QUARRY THIS M0RhIfG

George Cady and Vernon ST. Joh1
were injured as the result OF delayed
explosion at the silica quarries of the
Diamond Fire Brick company in Grape
Creek canon between nine and ten
O'Clock this morning, but not very
badly. a fuse had been lighted for the
purpose OF setting off a charge II
blasting powder. but failing to do its
work within the usual time Mes srs.
Cady and St John began an investi-
cation that was more or less disas-
trous in its consequences. without
warning OF any kind an explosion took
place that almost threw both young
men OF their feet and hurled great
quantity OF rock about them. but, for-
tunately without any serious re-
suits. Cady's eyes were filled with
dust and smoke that almost blinded
him and St John was cut on one Il
the wrists by particles of fyling rock
in addition to several unimportant
bruises Both young men were brought
to town and their injuries dressed by
a physician. That the accident did not
end fatally is litt.e short of the mir
aculous.

ADJUDGED IN
SANE.MONDAY
Well Known Miner Suffefs
Effects of Soi-
tude.

Jonn Natter OF Whitehorn was ad-
judged Of unsound mind by a jury in
county court Monday afternoon and
was taken to the state hospital for the
insane at Pueblo by Sheriff Esser
for treatment. Matter came to Colo
rado about ten years ago from Wind
sor. Illinois, and has since been en-
ployed as a mining prospector in the
mountains in the western part of Fre-
mont county. About ten days or two
weeks ago his mind gave way on ac-
count of the secluded, lonesome char
acter OF the life he Was living and his
brother, P. C. Matter. who is engaged
in the drug and jewelry business at
Windsor. Illinois. came here to care
for him. Matzer is said to be man
OF excellent habits and his unfortun-
ate condition is believed to have been
brought about by the solitude of the
hills and his lack Of association with
his fellows. Superintendent Bussey of
the insane asylum at Pueblo told sher-
III Esser that three-fourths OF the men
being cared for in that Institution
were miners and iprospeetors and that
their dementia was the result OF a de-
pressed mental state growing out OF
the lonesome. deserted condition OF
the mountains where their work is
carried on. The insane asylum at
Pueblo contains twelve hundred in
mates and is one of the largest of its
kind west OF the Missouri river.
