SHAFT HOUSE Of
BIG Mine BURNS
At CR. Butte

Ere Of an unknown origin destroy
ed the engine house at the mouth Of
the G. +. & l. coal mine at Crested
Butte at about 4:30 Monday morning.
No one was injured. The damage is
estimated at about $1,000. A small
FIRE was discovered and presumably
extinguished in the engine house on
Monday morning, but whether this
had any connection with the fire the
following morning is not known. The
building is a total loss and some of
the machinery will have to be re-
placed. By prompt action the em-
ployees and fire department prevented
the flames from reaching the mine,
and beyond few feet of timbering
at the mouth, no damage was done
inside the mine.
Dan Sutherland, head carpenter for
the C. F. & l. arrived in Gunnison
yesterday and went up to the Buttes
to lay out the new engine house, con-
struction of which will begin Monday.
The mine will likely be closed thirty
days. About 300 men are employed
at the mine, altho Of late they have
only been working part Of the time.
Just twelve years ago, in 1909, the
engine house at this mne was de-
stroyed by fire.

A dangerous gasoline fire was aver
ted Monday afternoon by the prompt
action Of the volunteer fire depart-
ment when the cleaning plant OF the

back room being used for the gaso-
line cleaning process and the middle
room for drying. The drying room
was tightly closed with hot fire go-
ing. The back door was open, prob
carried into the drying room. When the
mixture in the closed room became
"rich" enough, an explosion took
place tearing out the windows and
setting fire to various articles Of
clothing in the drying room. H. 8.
Crooks saw the explosion and turned
in an alarm. The fire department
made quick run and barely prevent
ed the flames from getting To the

Mrs. Hemming was a witness 10 the

had Keen married only two monIhs.

Japan Demands Full InfOrma-
ton on Proposed Conference.
Asks Pertinent Questions in
Washington and London.
WOULD LIMIT LIST
Consider Italy and France Out
siders in Pacific.
Toxic Must Get Answers Before
Accepting Invitation.

Washington, July 15.-Japan has
asked the United States for a state
ment as to the scope OF the proposed
discussion of a Pacific and Far East
ern policy in the forthcoming dis
armament conference, it was learned
officially today.
State department officials refused
to state whether this government had
made reply to the japanese commu-
nication, but the impression prevailed
that the state department has for
warded an answer.
Must Know All First.
London, July 15.-Japan wants to
| fully understand the scope of the pro-
posed conference on Pacific and Far
! East problems before committing her
I self to either rejection or acceptance
| of President Harding's invitation, 1t
was learned authoritatively today.
Inquiries to ascertain both the Brit
| ish and American viewpoints have
! been undertaken by japanese states
men, In the case of America, 1t was
learned today, certain questions"
have been propounded to Washington
on behalf of the Japanese govern
ment, and until replies have been re-
ceived, Japan will take no definite ac-
ton.
Want British Views.
Lord Curzon, foreign secretary, and
Baron Hayashi, the Japanese ambas-
sador have held a number of confer
ences on the proposals that have been
made and Curzon has been asked to
make clear the British view.
1t was also learned today that Great
Britain is opposing the inclusion of
France and Italy in the conference
that will deal with the Pacific and Far
East problems. The belief prevails
among high British officials that the
presence of France and Italy in the
Pacific discussions only will lead to
confusion and that it would be better
for all concerned, If Great Britain,
japan and the United States are left
alone to work out the nolicies 81 the
Pacific and Far East. as they are
the most interested parties.
See Three Sided Pact.
Toxic. July 1.-The recent remark
in the London Times, says the Jill
Shimpo, that nothing would be inn
possible when Britain succeeds in
maintaining friendly relations with
the American and Japanese nations is
most powerful endorsement that an
anglo-American-J Japanese entente is
the greatest cardinal element in the
preservation Of world peace.
The Jill also says that Mr.. Cham
berlain's theory advocating an agree
ment with the powers of the Pacific
ocean for the prevention of armament
competition constitutes the very basis
of Britain's policy. The Jill continues:
1.-THE Japanese are quite aware that
triple entente among Britain, Amer
lea and Japan is essential to the main
tenance of world peace and also that
such an entente is possible only thru
an agreement regarding the naval ar
rangement limitation. 1t is true there
, are some knotty diplomatic problems
Z between Japan and the United States,
, but this does mot in the least Justify
, the conclusion that 1t would be waste
of time and effort for the two powers
to arrive at an agreement for a naval
holiday"

wage reduction.
Employees. who testified before. the
court. asserted that there has been
slight, If any reduction, in living ex-
penses. They asked that wages not
only remain at the present standard,
but that if a change is made it be in
the form of an advance in the exist
ing scale Officials of the street rail-
way company asked for a wage re-
duction. They told the court judges
that unemployment conditions here
trict-had resulted in a slump in the

Kansas board of agriculture, has asked
for return to the fair price lists He
believes this system of publicity will
aid in keeping prices in a proper chan
mel. 1t will also aid, he believes, in
giving the producer a price in keeping
with the rates charged by the retailer.
Too Much Difference in Price.
zone big trouble just now is the
difference between pound of beef
steak at the butcher shop or in the
public eating house and the quotations
on livestock at the market centers,
said Mol1er. THE same situation ap-
plies to wheat, potatoes, eggs, produce
and practically all farm products. II
the retailer and the restaurant and
hotel keeper faced a fair price quota
ton, the patron would be able to de-
termine something as to the percen-
tage of profit which is received. II
would help nightly. in my opinion
bing, would protect the buying public
and insure to the farmer and other
producers a price more nearly that
charged by the final dealer"
Failure of dealers in certain COM
modities. as well as keepers of public
eating houses to recognize the fact
that the war is over, has been appar-
