When IL was found that the

doomed to be literally roasted
to death, frantic efforts were
made to save them. Men de-

chief refused, declaring that such

death.
A workman, begrimmed and
burned about the hands and face,
rushed into the flames with a
shovel and tried to free the
youth from his pinions by cut

back by the flames. While the
crowds looked mutely on, all
three bodies were slowly con-
sumed in the insistent flames
that rolled about them.
The flames were visible from
all over Tacoma and hundreds

portant Tintic Mines.

Electricity appears to be gaining in
favor with the mining operators of the
Tintic mining district and it is stated
upon good authority that before the
close of another year a number OF com
panies will electrify their hosting
plants, says the Eureka Reporter
Figures which will be submitted at
the next meeting of the Victoria com
pany will show that the classification
Of the plant at this mine has resulted in n
a wonderful saving. For the year l9l2,
when tho Victoria mine was operating a
steam hosting plant, the sum OF
S65S9.5s was paid out for coal and the
expense attached to delivering it at
the property, and for, 1919 the com.
panv's expense for electricity was but a
trifIe in excess OF $4,000. It can readily
be seen that the use of electricity ha:
brought about saving of about $500

Thinks Them Partly to
Blame for Mining De-
cline in State.

What is responsible for Utah IS pres
ent great commercial progressi Read
the answer In tho persistency OF Utah
publications in riveting the attention
of the world upon Utah's mineral re.
sources. Unlike Colorado g leading gen
cral newspapers, Utah 8 publications
devote pages TO that states mining Rc-
tivitics, against columns and fractions
of columns of carefully concealed min
ing items in Colorado publications, hid
den among a lot OF rank Sensational
news of tho day, says the Denver Min
ing Record. What is true of Utah Ia
also true of Montana, Washington, Ne
vada and other western mining states.
Colorado publications have isolated the
state from mining standpoint to such
an extent that Colorado citizens, not
interested in mining, practically con-
slider the industry a joke.
Little or no public interest In mining
exists IN Colorado at this time. Mer-
chants, civic organizations and bankers
are all guilty OF lack of interest in
the one-time much heralded mining re-
sources OF the Centennial state, which
arc even greater now than ever Detore.
1t seems to have become the fashion
among business men, and bankers par
ticularly, in the city of Denver, to
damn mining by faint praise. It is only
natural. therefore, that they should all
be wondering what has happened to
Colorado, why real estate and land va J.
ucs are so low, with little demand.
They have sown the wind aud are
reaping the wbirlwind When the old
time Colorado spirit is revived. Colo

Outside money, 90 per cent eastern
and foreign, is going into Colorado
mining at this time. This means that
the state mining dividends are prac-
tically all going out of the state The
largest foreign corporations operating
in the state are increasing their hold
iugs in mining more extensively than
ever, but public participation on the
part Of Colorado citizens is much less
per capita than over before in tho his

they win wake up, let us hope.

Railroads Fighting Snow.

The heavy snowstorms of the past
week have made all kinds of trouble
for tho three railroads that are oPerat,,
ing here in Tintic. 1t has been hard
struggle, but the freight crews have
managed to keep things moving in fair

The Knight railroad has been blocked
time and time again and a bunch of
men has been kept at work almost
continuously, shoveling the snow and
making it possible for the little engine
to get through to the Iron Blossom,
Beck Tunnel and Colorado mines.
The Rio Grande people have been hav-
ing most OF their trouble on the high
line which leads to the Eagle & Blue

three times during the past two weeks
the line has been opened just in time

If the Victoria people can save tha!
amount of money IN one year by the

suppose that the adoption Of this power
would mean substantial reductions IN

now being used.
Among the companies that are now
considering the advisability of 4 switch
