THE ROYAL GORGE MINE
BRINGS new MONEY IN

The Gibson Lumber Co. has an in
teresting ad in another column This
company is operating the Royal Gorge
Coal mine and is shipping a lot of
coal. They are developing a wide
market for this coal.
Nearly 100 men are at work at
the mine. The pay roll last month
was $4,000 and it will average some
thing over $4,000 during the coal sea-

Ninety per cent of the coal that is
mined at the Royal Gorge is shipped
away from town SO the large amount
of money paid out at the Royal Gorge
mine is new money coming in from

been at first supposed.
AS soon as the coach In which he
was riding had come to stop, Mr..
Biggs managed to find a place where
he could look out and was amazed to
see that the car was lying on the
brink of a precipice with the river
at it's foot In the semidarkness

and fifty or two hundred feet down TO
the water. When daylight came he
revised his estimates and concluded
that the distance was only about forty
or fifty feet.
After matters had quieied down \
little and q message had been sent
to the railroad authorities apprising
them OF the accident. the passengers
were taken to salida in the coaches
that were able to make the trip where
a train was made up TO carry them
on TO Pueblo and Denver. Mr. and
Mrs. Biggs arrived here at 1880
O'Clock. about four and half hours
behind schedule time.
Mr. Biggs states that in all OF his
travelling experience, which covers
period OF thirty-iye years. he had
never taken part in quite so thrilling
an episode ms the one Of this morn

FIRST DEATH HERE UNDER LAW

Alfred Cole died at $50 O'Clock
Thursday afternoon from electrocu-
ton, following an accident two hours
and a half earlier, while changing the
position of some high powered trans
mission lines for the Arkansas Val
ley, Railway, Light & Power company
near the Elks club building. Cole
was working on an overhead construc-
ton, thirty feet above the street, at
the time and 1850 volts of electricity
passed through his body, rendering
him unconscious; a condition from
which he never recovered.
In making some changes in the po-
sition of the lines for the company
Cole cut a wire of high voltage with
his shears, leaving the end dangling
on the cross arm. While holding in
his right hand another wire of less
er transmission capacity he reached
out to push the severed line little
farther away from him and by his
touch made a connection between the
two, diverting the current into his
body The terrific shock paralyze4

lis associates seeing what had hap
pened hastened to his assistance and
the unfortunate man was let down by
ropes from his perilous position and
a physician and nurse summoned to
attend him. Pulsation was almost
imperceptible when Cole was lowered
to the street and laid on a blanket
in the open air on the lawn about
the club building and little Lope was
expressed for his recovery by those
who gathered about him. The ply,

Cole, but all to no purpose The ply.
sician and a number of anxious as
sistants labored with him until after
dark without beirg able to accom-
plish any definite result.
Cole was about thirty years of
age and had worked for the electric
power company here most of the sum-
mer He came to Canon City three or
four months ago from the Cripple
Creek district where he was previous
ly employed in a similar capacity to
the one in which he was enlisted here.
Before that he worked as an electri-
clan in Pueblo and Ieadville. He
was married and his wife has made
her home at the Grand d e
hotel on South Ninth street since
coming to Canon City. She will re-
ceive from the company by which
her husband was employed under the
Workmen's Compensation law the sum
OF two thousand, five hundred dol

is equal to eight dollars week for
