and Mr.. Emery. Much of the wiring
which has been done ten years ago
or more is very defective and adds
considerably to the physical hazard
on local risks. City Attorney Tup-
per is now drafting a building ordi-
nance and wiring ordinance will
follow shortly after. 1t is expected
that the chief of the fire department
and the chief of police will be en-
powered with the duties and authori-
ties OF building inspectors.
Another suggestion made to Mr..
Simonton gained instant approval.
That was for meetings of local policy
holders to be held under the auspices
OF the chamber of commerce to dis
cuss their individual risks with Dis
trict Manager Emery. He resides
here and declared that he would be
glad to take the matter up. 1t was
suggested that the occasions could be
made informal smokers" and a de-
cided benefit could be gained by the
payers of insurance premiums. Each
policy holder can secure from the un-
derwriters' association a memoran-
DUN showing the makeup of his
risk and the actual hazards on or
near his property which increase his
premium. Mr.. Emery can explain
the methods for reducing those haz-
ards and cutting down the cost to the
city.

that Grand Junction uses more water

Dawson. n. M, Oct. 23.-The ex-
plosion in shaft No. of the Stag
Canon mine of the Phelps-Doge &
co. property here yesterday afternoon
entombed between 230 and ESQ min
ers and obstructed the passageways
with debris and filled the mine with
poisonous gases. At 8 this morning,
after IS hours, 25 living miners and
Ia bodies had been recovered
Rescuers. equipped with oxygen
helmets, worked feverishly in the
shifts all night, but the progress was
retarded by new distractions. At
this hour will forecast the probable
fate of those remaining in the mine
nor hazard definite statement as
to the cause of the explosion.
The property is regarded as nearly
model mine. The guards have kept
back the curious. Camps We're estab-
lished for the rescuers, hospitals
for the survivors and a morgue for
the dead.
The cause is not definitely known,
but it is believed to be either due to
the explosion of black damp or dust
First aid was rendered by the men
from the surrounding mines and ap-
from which two rescue cars and
force of men were sent by special
train.
Throughout the night the rescue
work was prosecuted in the shifts
by fresh men taking the places of the
exhausted men, many of whom were
nearly overcome from the poisonous
gases. Mayor E. l.. Kinney immed-
lately took charge of organizing the
relief work to care for the survivors.
The hospital was established near
the mouth of the mine with the
morgue nearby while a rest quarters
was established for the rescuers.
DR.. James Douglas. vice president
of the Phelps-Dodge & Co., when not
flied at Douglas, Ariz., of the explo-
sion, started Immediately for the
scene in special train, picking up
doctors and nurses at Ell Paso and
other points en- route.
Mayor E. l.. Kinney took personal
charge of the outside relief and the
hospital work, keeping his organiza-
tion active throughout the night.

. HAT general ten per cent re

IT HAT a general ten per cent re-
duction in fire insurance rates
1 in Grand Junction can be eff
fected by the expenditure of less than
$40, 900 was the declaration of G. E.
Simonton, manager of the Rocky
Mountain Fire Underwriters associa-
ton to a number of local business
men at the chamber of commerce
rooms this morning. That still fur
ther reductions can be made by indi-
yidual policy holders by familiarizing
themselves with the various hazards
which increase their premium, was
the statement of the insurance ex-
pert.
The meeting was called at the
chamber rooms this morning and
among those who attended were c. e.
Cherrington, d. B. Wright, e. E. I'd
lock, NJ. o. Delaplain, C. A. Emery, I.
NJ. Todd, L. Antics, H. f Vorbecll, and
s. w. Vedder. Mr.. Simonton went
into detail on the base rates for this
city and what conditions caused
them.
1t developed that Grand Junction
fire insurance rates were based on a
three and one-half'' per cent basis
which is approximately ten per cent
higher than the lowest rate in cities
of this class in the cate. Greeley en-
joys three per cent rate while Mont
rose pays four and Delta four and
one-half.
Praises Vedder.
The fire protection for the city un-
der the new water system was gone

praised in the highest terms the new

system and the methods which have
been invoked to insure good fire pro-
lection. The size of the mains, the
auxiliary sources, ETC., were all au-
proved by Mr. Simonton as evidences
of excellent judgment on the part of
Commissioner Vedder.
However. it appeared that one need
in case of great conflagration such
as has never yet visited this city, is
an auxiliary pumping plant at the
river edge This should be an cleo
trio apparatus controlled from the
fire department or the city hall and
connected both with the reservoirs
and the river. In case the reservoir
should be emptied or damaged a sue
tion pipe in the river would provide
direct pressure in the mains. Such
pump, it was estimated, would cost
not to exceed 5000 more than the
amount which should be received
from the sale of the old steam pump
ing machinery.
A fire department sub-station
should be located in the residence
section in the northeastern part of
the city. in the opinion of c. A. Hem
ry, the district manager of the un-
derwriters. 1t could be equipped
with hand hose reel and manned
by volunteers.
There is a lot in that section of
the city which was reserved for that
purpose by the incorporates of the
city.
New Ordinance.
New and drastic building and wir-
ing ordinances are one of the great

 movement from the country to the city, the lack of equal opportunity, diseases, some of which are preventa- bIe, like tuberculosis, over crowded conditions of the cities, accidents, and other causes. As some of the means of elimination he cited the effort to prevent the spread of tuberculosis, and the compensation acts which are pending in many legislatures, and generally methods which would raise standards of living, wages, and educa- ton.
