COLORADO SPRINGS, March 27.
"A harmony program for the state
Republican convention was outlined
today at the close of an all-night con-
ference with the Taft leaders. 1t pro-
vides for the instruction of the Colo
RADIO delegates at large to the Chicago
national convention for President
Taft, the adoption of resolutions in
dorsing the administration and the
selection of Thomas II. Devine of Pue-
bio as temporary chairman. The adop-
ton of this program is considered a
victory for the outstate delegates who
had supported Devine in his refusal
to accept the craftsmanship unless the
Denver delegation receded from its
demands for four of the eight dele
gates at large. The outstate dele
gates had agreed to allow Denver,
with its 1928 delegates, to name three
representatives to the national con-
vention and to this the Denver lead
ers finally agreed rather than to take
issue before the convention where the
Roosevelt supporters with approx
mately twenty-seven delegates would
hold the balance Of power. The COM
promise provided that the delegates
at large be presented to convention
for ratification as follows: United
States Senator Simon Guggenheim,
Crawford Hill and A. M. Stevenson OF
Denver, T. H. Devine Of Pueblo, j. +
Mcdonald of Leadville, Jefferson Farr
Of walsenburg, Irving Howbert Of
Colorado Springs and A. N. Parrish
Of Lamar.
Early today the prospects were that
Senator Guggenheim would head the
delegation but there is a probability
that . portion Of the Denver dslega-
tion will be altered.

leaders won was in their demand thai

WHEELING, w. Va, March 27.--
Eighty-two men met death in the gas

were ninety-three men in the mine
when the gas ignited but eleven sue

was SO badly burned however, that he

surface made their way up to the
cages which were not rendered useless
by the explosion.
Though some Of the fans we're dam
aged they were not rendered entirely
unavoidable and they continued work
ing Immediately after the accident.
The mine was inspected only last
Friday and pronounced safe. Prelimi-
nary investigations have thus far fail
ed to reveal the real cause of the
explosion. Some of the local miners
are inclined to think the disaster was
the result of physical phenomenon.
The families of the dead miners are
in sore straits. Work at the Jed mine
has been slack and the miners have
made barely enough TO obtain the ne
cessities Of life.

THE SAN JUAN BASIN.
The San Juan Basin embraces La
Plata, San Juan, Dolores, Montezuma
and Archuleta counties in Colorado,
and San Juan county, New Mexico.
1t is region 200 miles north and
south, and 13O miles east and west,
and it derives its name from the fact
that it is the drainage basin of the
San Juan river. The annual run-of
of the San Juan river is more than
double that of the South Platte and
the Arkansas combined. The land in
the basin is classified as agricultural,
mineral, timber and grazing land. The
exact acreage has not yet been ascer-
tanned. The only information we can
yet give in regard to that was obtain
