DoMINIcK cAssAGRANDA
KILLED IN MEXICO

Chris. Cassagranda received a tele-
gram from Mogollon, N. NJ, announc-
ing the tragic death of Domin.ck Cas-
sagranda, who was killed in the Pa
cific mine. Cassagranda is we'll re-
membered in Giipin county, having
been resident of Mountain City
for 20 years. He left here the first
Of the year, going to Mexico.
Details of the accident are given
in the coroner's jury report, receiv-
ed by Mr.. Cassagranda. According
to this, Dominick Cassagranda and
two Mexicans, Epifanio Morales and
Marcos Rojas, were blown up June
LIST, 1913, at about 1:30 O'Clock in
the morning, while engaged in pre-
pairing to load their shots. ALL three
were blown to atoms. The jury re-
turned the following verdict:
1--WE, the jury, agree that Epif-
anio Morales, Marcos Rojas and
Dominick Cassagranda came to their
death by an explosion in the powder
magazine in the Pacific mine.''
Cassagranda, since going to New
Mexico, had requested that in case
OF his death he wanted his remains
sent to Gilpin county for interment.
However, the bodies of the three
men were blown literally into pieces
and the largest piece found was a
hand. 1t was impossible to deter
mine which of the remains were
those of Cassagranda, consequently
his request could not be complied
with. What remained of the bodies
of the three men was buried in one
casket.
Dominick Cassagranda was As yeare
Of age. He was single. but leaves
brother residing in Silverton; also
mother in Austria. He was a mem
ber of the Eagles, Maccabees and

The sympthy of a multitude Of
friends in Gilpin county goes out to
Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall d. Draper, in
the sad loss of their little son, Dan
iel, who was drowned last Saturday,
in Cherry creek, Denver. The boy,
five years OF age, was playing on a
raft in Cherry creek near Lincoln
street shortly before noon when he
stumbled on the slippery boards and
fell into the deep water. Robert Sa-
very, his companion, ran to his home
at 619 Grant street to tell his mother
that Dannie had drowned. Mrs. Sa-
very spread the alarm and Thomas
Cleaves, 122 East Seventh avenue,
dived into the water several times
until he found the body. The Drap-
ens were residents of. Central at the
time the boy was born in one Of
the Denver hospitals. Mr.. Draper was

SO valiantly fought this gigantic cor

From the perusal of your article.
It seems to me you have pointed out
the way whereby ray of light has
penetrated the dark cloud that has
hung over our mining industry for
these many years. on account of that
most unscrupulous trust, known as
the American Smelling and Refining
company.
On @ former occasion, Mr.. Martin,
our representative from Pueblo, IN
trodnced a resolution in the lower
house OF Congress, calling for an in
vestigation Of this same smelter trust
which met with lukewarm approval.
on account of the government at that
time being controlled by predatory
WEALTH. Mr.. Guggenheim. the head
Of the giant monopoly then being our
United States senator.
Since that time, the voting popula-
ton Of 100000 people has changed
the governmental policy that was 50
oppressive and disastrous to all wage
earners. We now have man at
the helm, backed by Congress IN
harmony with him, and who, rom

SO meekly endured for many years.

PETITION WILL HAVE GREAT
NUMBER OF sIGNERs.

The Observer feels deeply gratifi-
ed over the support that is volun-
teered the movement to curb the
slnelter trust. Every miner and op-
orator in the county is enthusiastic
over the prospects of the strong arm
OF the government reaching out to
force the Guggenheims to release
the strangle hold they have had on
the throat of the mining industry dur
ing the years predatory corporations
have been fostered. and protected by
Republican administrations.
There will be no trouble, in getting
signers to the petitions that will be
forwarded to Congress appealing for
relief. The signatures will be SO
numerous, the list will be so long
as to reach around the national cap
itol. That the Observer is heartily
commended for its activity in get
ting these protests to Washington
started, will be seen by the follow
mine operators since last weeks is

from those who have been up against
the smelter trust game, will be pub
lished:
Editor of Observer
1t is with great pleasure note that
an effort is being made to have Cong
ress investigate the Smelter Trust,
and that a petition is to be circulat-
ed in this and Clear Creek county
with that end in view. 1t is a move
in the right direction and l suggest
that all mining counties in the state
movement, making it statewide. Have
the press of Denver cooperate and
aid in the publicity for strict in
Ivestigation of the methods of the
other trusts. With the mining camps
of the state acting as a unit, Con-
gress cannot afford to ignore the
demands of the mining industry,
which is the life blood of Colorado.
For more than thirty years I have
been a shipper of ores to the smef-
ers and since competition has been
stifled by the A. S. & R., there has
never been a time when the ore pro-
ducer has been given square deal
by the Guggenheim interests. ! trust
that each and every one interested in
metaliferous mining in the state will
at once sign the petitions that ac-
tion may be taken at this session of
Congress.
