CHASE S. OSBORN GIVES
CAUSE FOR PABST DISASTER.

The "buckling" of the Pabst mine
shaft which entombed 43 men a
month ago has become the cause of
considerable argument in mining cir
cles and no explanation has been
made to account for the disaster.
Chase S. Osborn, former governor
Of Michigan, a world explorer and a
recognized authority on the earth's
formation, holds to the theory that
great shift in the earth's clust
more than year ago, was the direct
cause Of the 'buckling" of the shaft.
He expresses himself in the follow
ing interesting and enlightening
manner:
"The Lake Superior iron district
has become the greatest iron ore
producer in the world, and this
means that the finest engineering
science was brought to find better
and safer ways to mine."
"Just a year ago last February
occurred catasclysmic disturbance
in the form of an earthquake, which
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1926-10-29

none of the mining companies thot
much about Yet it was enough to
disturb the entire terrain away west
of Duluth to away east of Quebec.
when the Inflated shaft of the
Pabst mine was built it was the
most modern steel and concrete
shaft in existence. But nothing has
yet been devised to withstand the
creeping of the earth's surface, and
this earthquake year ago last Feb
ruary disturbed the whole of the
Lake Superior district.
"The accident wasn't caused by
cave-in, but was caused by "buck
ling" of the shaft which brought
about cave-in. The great move
ment, of the earth shattered the rock
formation. The country rock, which
is of the greywacke variety and
hard, but one that would lend itself
to slipping, was already necessarily
weakened by being split by the shaft
'The earthquake further weaken
ed this rock and little by ht1le with
the aid of gravity, the pressure of
the shattered rock grew too trer end
Gus for the steel and concrete walls
of the shaft, and with no warning
at all it collapsed, pinning men in
the bowels of the earth.
"Ill-grounded are the rumors and
statements that the miners had time
and again asked that lhc shaft be
strengthened. No mining company
in the world spends more money and
talent on safety for its employees
than the Oliver Irol Mining COM
pany which owns the Pabst NINE"

ELY FALLS HARD
BEFORE AURORA.
VARIED ATTACK GAVE AURORA
THREE TOUCHDOWNS DURING
FIRST HALF-SECOND HALF
in ELY'S FAVOR.
(By Arnold Anderson. }

Aurora decisively convinced Ely
Saturday that the reports which
judged them as one of the best teams
on the range were not ill-founded
when they romped over the locals
for an Is to 0 victory.
Aurora combined a series of de-
ceptive plays and fake formations
together with versatile running at
tack in the first half to score their
eighteen points while the Ely attack
worked only erratically against the
yalwart Aurora line.
Wide sweeping end runs proved
the best ground gamers in the Aur-
ora attack and their effectiveness
was largely responsible for the three
scores. Although Ely gained consid-
cradle ground, at no time during the
game were they in the proximity of
the Aurora goal posts. Ely twice had
opportunities to score however; once
when the Aurora center passed the
ball over his fullback's head and
Luhtanen the Ely end came charging
in only to juggle the ball when he
had clear field ahead of him and
his opponents were five yards behind.
Again in the second half Ely could
have scored when Dahl caught pass
on the 80 yard line and was just
breaking loose, when a last desper-
ate Aurora tackle finally brought
him down.
Ely outplayed Aurora on the def
ense during the second half but
could not present an effective Alfonso
when scoring opportunities arose.
Toutloff, the star second team per-
former was tried out in the backfield
but he didn't get chance to break
loose and show his full speed.
Dahl of Ely held his own in the
punting and got off some kicks that
travelled good distance.
The Ely team was composed of
Lndy, lie; Skala, 1t; Clough, l.g;
Anderson, C; L. Gerzin, rig; j. Ger
yin, TT; Luhtanen re; Heikkila, OBJ;
Pogorelc, LIB; Grahek, RIB; Dahl,

ELY SCOND TEAM TO PLAY THE
TOWER II. S. ELEVEN SATUR-

Not content with only basketball
as high school athletic sport, Tower
has assembled a high school team
which they think is formidable
enough to play the Ely second team
performers, and as result game
will be played between these two
teams the coming Saturday.
The Ely second team has already
one victory to its credit when they
scored a 6 to triumph over Mount
ain Iron some weeks ago. Toutlof
the fleet Ely half was the hero CT
the game, his run in the last seconds
ct play winning the game. He aims
to be at his best Saturday and will
certainly give the Tower team a few
lessons On the running of the ball
from scrimmage.

BEGIN IN FEB.

The Better Kitchen Contest is to be
started in Carbon county about the
18th of February and will last five
months, closing in July. During that
time each kitchen entered in the con-

fluencing farm home-keepers in the
improvement of their kitchens, in
order that their daily work may be
accomplished with the expenditure of
as little time and labor as possible; in
as pleasant and cheerful surroundings
as they may be able to command; I'M
der as sanitary conditions as their
means and circumstances can provide,
and in as efficient manner as a
whole-hearted, sincerely interested
study of kitchen efficiency may pro-
duce. The contest will be under the
direction of the Cooperative Extension
Service of Montana, the United States
Department of Agriculture and Car
bon county, and will be conducted by
the Extension Service of the State
College. The Home Demonstration
Agent, Miss Grace Carey, will have
direct charge of it in this county.

TALKING SAVED HER

Once there was queen who was going to
have her head chopped off at daylight. SO
what did she do but keep the king awake all
night telling him the most interesting story,
and when the sun began to peep over the
hills the story seemed to be at the most excit-
ing part
The king had to get some sleep, and he
didn't want to miss the story, so he postpon-
ed the execution until the next day.
Well, the queen got some sleep too, and
that night she was all nice and refreshed, SO
she continued her story, and as day was
breaking she had reached another exciting
point in her narrative.
The execution was postponed again, and
that thing went on for thousand and one
nights and finally the king got to like the
queen SO we'll because of the interesting sto-
ries she told him that he wouldn't let her be
executed at all.
Which all goes to show-doesn't it?-that
the plan used by the queen can stave off
calamity under certain conditions.
There is close analogy between the pre-
dicament of the queen and that of the bust
ness which faces extinction, or even depres-
sion. Any legitimate business, selling a
useful commodity or service, can employ
words to curry favor and win prosperity

What was perhaps the largest and
most interesting meeting of the State
Association of County Commissioners
ever held in Montana closed Friday
evening after three days session.
The meeting was held in Billings this
year and all the way from one to three
commissioners were present from
practically every county in the state.
Many important questions came up for
discussion including the gasoline tax;
auto licenses; and the proposed five
mill school levy, proposed measure
fostered by the Montana Educational
Association.
The meetings were presided over by
President Lou Freudensteine of Sill
yer Bow county with j. B. Convery of
Carbon, Secretary. The visiting COM
missioners were welcomed to the city
of Billings by Mayor Edward Grafton
and during the three day session many
visitors including Highway Commits
sioners 0. S. Warden of Great Falls,
and W. j. Mulvaney of Billings were
present. Henry Good, chairman of
the Commission was unable to attend
the Billings meeting.
On Wednesday afternoon DR.. J. G..
F. Seigfriedt of Bearcreek addressed
the convention briefly urging that in
view of the responsibilities and liza
bilities of the commissioners they
should be paid higher salary. He
spoke on behalf of good roads gen
orally and his address was listened to
with marked attention.
Lifting of the penalties on delin-
quent taxes by the law of 1921 had
such good results according to re-
ports made to the convention that del
egates at the meeting CROPPED around
for information as to what could be
done to get further results. The best
information obtained was to the effect
that TIE law fixed period Of payment
at four years, terminating in July
1925 and applied only to taxes of 1921
and prior years. The question of
transient widows pension was brot
before the convention and it is prob
ably that as a result a movement will
be started to have that law amended
