EXPLOSION IN VULCAN NINE
FAULT OF NINE OWNERS
United Press.


DENVER, Colo, Dec. 31.-The
ccoroner's jury at Glenwood Springs
last night returned a verdict finding
the negligence of Coryell Leasing
company, the lessees of the Vulcan
mine at New Castle, responsible for
the recent explosion costing 30 lives.
The jury declares the mine was i'm
properly sprinkled, and that the min
ers were allowed to smoke and wear
open lamps and also fire shots while
others miners were working.
President McLennan of the miners
union says. "The verdict is not sur
prise to me. We have known for
some time that these terrible condi.
tions existed in the mines o. the
state, and so have the operators. Ut
ter disregard Of human life on the
part, of coal corporations is shown
by the verdict"

RICO TO THE FRONT

RICO, Dec. 30.-Dolores county is
in better shape than for a number
of years. There has been more real
mining the past year than the three
former years. Ore shipments have in
creased four hundred per cent as well
as the value of the output. New life
is displayed in the different mining
camps around the town, giving en-
ployment to more miners and creat-
ing business for the merchants of
the city. The general feeling is good
and by the end of another year Do
iores county will be producing her old

JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 81
Many confederate veterans will be
disappointed tomorrow for instead
of receiving $50 check from the
state of Missouri as the pension
promised quarterly, only 1888 will
be received by each old soldier, for
there is a deficit of s12,374.40 today.
When the confederate pension act
was passed by the legislature at the
last session, only 100000 was appro-
priated.
This proved to be more than so per
cent under the amount needed and
the attorney general advised that it
be pro-rated. The balance due will
be carried over. Two thousand who
wore the gray for pensions under the
act effective October /, 10, were re-
Jected for various reasons and IOs
are being Investigated.

fer with the president. 1t is report
ed that he brings tentative proposal
from Huerta to retire.
The president will not discuss the

elimination are slight.
The exact hour of Lind's arrival is

MAKES AIM ALMOST CERTAIN

Charles Pechard, police official of
Paris, has invented an attachment
that enables one to shoot revolver
more accurately in the dark than In
broad daylight, the New York indie
pendent states.
This attachment consists of a metal
lie tube with a lens at one end and a
tiny electric lamp at the other BY
means of mirrors the light is directed
out through the lens as slender cone
and is sufficiently strong at a distance
of some four rods for all practical pur-
poses. In the middle of the illumina.
ted field there IS a small dark spot
which comedies with the line of the

perienced shooter to hit a selected
part of the burglars anatomy with
more certainty than he could display
in ordinary target practice.
The electric current is supplied by a
small dry battery or storage battery
which the officer san carry in his
pocket or which the defender of the
home can place under his pillow. The
light tube can be attached to an ordi-
nary pistol and it may be used as a

to the discovery Of cure for cancer
All of these had been investigated and
no justification for any one of these
claims had been obtained. DR.. Bash
ford also said women were more liable
to cancer than men. In England and

cancer was $50 per 1000 600 for men
and 100 for women.
