THE DAILY 1 vol. a .0.. FttlDAY, JUNE 10, lb GOING PAST THEJJMIT "Death to Unions/1 Slogan of Citizens'Alliance of Cripple Creek Declares that Every Member of Organized Labor Must Resign or Quit the District Cripple Creek, Colo., June 9,—"Death to unions In the Cripple Creek district," is the slogan of the citizens' alliance, wliii-li has sent a decree broadcast that •every person affiliated with an union here must either sever his or her connection wilh such order or leave this district. The latest stand of the anti- tuiioiilssi was vaguely hinted at two days ago, but llie movement on the part of the alliance seemed so absurd to the three or four thousand unionists in the camp, and Its enforcement wrought with so many difficulties thai it was not taken seriously. Tysen S. Dines, a Denver attorney, and one of the executors of the Stratum estate, is here In conference, with the citizens' alliance leaders, and it Is announced that he is preparing a form which will he sent to every merchant ami business mnn in the district, pledging them not to employ any person who is affiliated wllh a labor union. No person who works for a living will he exempt and tlie resolute annihilation of unionism in the country is predicted by members of the citizens' alliance and the mine owners' association. This is considered the most drastic step yet taken by the alliance since it secured the upper hand in the district and its enforcement will affect 3,000 men and women now affiliated with the various unions. Among the unions that will he affected are the clerks, cooks and waiters bartenders, carpenters, electricians, trainmen and stone and brick masons. The unionists assert they will fight the movement, to a flniHh. ' General Bell Issued the following •statement, today regarding the raid on the Victor Record office and the des- iniciion of the newapaner plant; "I cannot be too emphatic in my condemnation of thlB unmerited act. Such actions as this reflect upon the military, because martial law prevails. As military commander I am responsible for the cleaning up of this crime, if it Is posslhle. I am aware that editor Kyner was bitterly denounced and threatened 'and accused of selling out. when his editorial apepared asking the Western Federation of Miners io call the strike off. The socialist element of the Federation took the principal stand in this thing. However, whoever the perpetrators of the crime may be, they will land in the "bull pen" If arrested.'* "Do yon think that union miners 'wrecked your offico because of your editorial on Wednesday, advising that the strike be called ofT?:" editor Kyner was asked today. ] "Unquestionably I do not," he replied. "I do not think the editorial was the cause of the outrage. We had hints and rumors of a plan to wreck the office three davs ago, before this editorial was published. I asked major Naylor, the city marshal, for protection. He was v/rillmr io give It, but said lt would not he necessary and advised me to fear nothing. As a matter of fart, the union men agree with the sentiment in the editorial. After Its publication all the union men I saw commended my position und many came to me for that special purpose." F W. Langdon. the linotype operator, who was driven from Ihe Record office nt the point of a rifle, says that he will not leave the district as ordered. He will send his family away however. Employees of the paper nlso say they will remain in the eity. Marshal Naylor and his squad captured George Fridley today near Canyon City, and returned wilh him to Victor He Is charged with having killed Koxie Mcflflfi and with having attempted to shoot C. O. Hamlin, secretary of the mine owners' association, when the latter was addressing the meeting In Victor last Monday. The mining exchange hall Is being ii«p.d as a bull pettMn addition to the Victor Intl. Several guards are at the floors with shotguns holding buckshot. Families antl wives of prisoners endeavor to see and talk with husbands and fathers incarcerated, but in most cases permission Is being refused. Five, or six members of the Goldfleld city council are In the bull pen, so that the town has no oxectitlvc powers. The committee on surety has made a demand upon district attorney Trowbridge that he remove his deputy .1 C Cole and nlso requested Lhat S. R Crump be ap- imlnted to fill the viumcy. Crump is the attorney for thn mine owners' asso- elntlon, Sheriff Edward Bell today appointed Ii. F. Parsons, of Cripple Creek, under sheriff of Teller county, and tho appointment was confirmed bv the county comlssinners. Coroner (leorge Hall, who succeeded coroner James Boran, who resigned today, empanelled a new jury which will hold nn inquest over the leeii murdered at Independence with an Infernal machine. Victor, Colo., June 9.—Adjutant general Bell, commander of Iho Teller county military district today ordered the Portland mine which (employs Union men, closed down. The order, recites, 'that a reign of terror and lawless violence has existeded for months' past encouraged and carried forward by certain evil inspired persons, resulting' in wholesale assassination of many peaceful and law-abiding citizens." The proclamation further asserts: "That the peace of the community Is threatened, lives and property menaced and mobs and violence threaten to overrule the law." The order In conclusion says that the Portland mine has "For a long time been engaged in employing and harboring large numbers of dangerous, lawless men, who have aided, encouraged and given comfort and assistance to those who have been so guilty of crimes and outrages, so that said mine Is a menace to the welfare and safety of the good people of said county and a hindrance to the establishment of peace and good order." The Portland is the only large mine in the district that has continued in operation since the trouble at Independence on Monday. The Portland Oold Mining company through its president James F. Burns, who is not a member of the Cripple Creey district mine owners' association, conceded tbe demands of the union when the strike was Inaugurated last August and has given employment to about 500 men. General Bell also issued a proclamation giving notice that "All violation of the law In the way of in- Jury to property and all acts of violence of any and every sort must henceforward cease." The committee appointed hy general Belt to Inquire into the records of miners under arrest reported to him a list of 92 union miners with (the recommendation that they be deported. General Bell accepted their report and announced that the men would be sent out of Teller county as soon as special train crews could he arranged for. BURNS WILL APPEAL. Denver, Colo., June 9.—The closing of the Portland mine at Victor liy order of general Bell, presumably, will be the means of reaching the federal courts with a case to test, the power of governor Peabody to vest in the miltiary absolute power tn the district declared to be under martial law. The Portland G. M. Co., being a foreign company, incorporated under the laws of Iowa, it is stated by eminent lawyers that any act affecting It may be reviewed by United States courts. James F. Burns, president of the Portland Gold Mining Co., is in Denver to consult his lawyers. Mr. Burns, It Ib stated, will ask that the military be withdrawn from the vicinity of his property in Victor and that he be allowed to protect his men when they go back to work. The military authorities, are credited with saying ir Burns sues (or an Injunction an attempt will be made to arrest Mr. Burns himself on the criminal charge that he Incited riot RECORD OFFIC WRECKED. Victor, Colorado, June 9—Eight unknown men, armed with shot guns, rifles, pistols nnd sledge hammers entered the office uf the Victor Record last night, ordered the men to throw up their hands, broke up the machinery, and then told the men to get out of the district as fast an they could. The Record yesterday editorially advised the miners to declare the strike off. There Is no clue, to the Identity of the men. George Kyner, proprietor of the paper was at lunch und foreman Walter Sweet, who was in charge of the men. General Sherman Bell hus appointed major Thomas E. McClelland provost mnr- shal for the district and he has caused a number of arrests to be made, among them being several union men employed by the Portland Gold Mining Co., which operates the Portland mine. Tbe company hus continued In operation ever since the strike was declared. A sensation was created when it became known that Christ Miller, union leader and member of tlie Ooldfleld city council, had been captured ill Canon City. At colonel Deckburg's request be was brought to Victor. Miller Is chnrged with having flred the shot that started the riot at the Victor mass meeting on Monday. A squad of mounted infantry left today in pursuit of 55 union miners, said to be encamped In the Reaver creek region just east of tbls elty. Tbe troops have orders to shoot the men when found, If tliey resist arrest. Cripple Creek, June ft—Last night was one of intense excitement owing to the battle between troops and miners at Dunnville, a small skirmish at Big Bull hill and the wrecking of the Victor Record office, Matters have quieted down In the miliary district nnd It Ih generally believed that the worst Is over. General Bell will not call for mon* troops, believing that the two companies now on duty can cope with the small parties of miners scattered among the mountains. It Is considered remarkable that only one mnn was killed In the Dunnville battle. The contesting forces were about two hundred soldiers under the personal command of general Bell and 65 miners, who were behind rocks and trees In the hills. At Victor today Joint funeral services were- held over the remains of live victims of the independence explosion. PUT BULL OUT WITH FIST. Terrific Battle Between a Farmer nnd a Savage Beast.

London, June 9.—The Daily Mail's correspondent at Tien Tain learns that 10,000 Russian Infantry with several batteries of artillery are entrenched In a strong position al Poohlohla, 12 miles south of Kal Chan, ant] 35 miles from New Chwang. The correspondent of Iho Daily Mail al Fusan, telegraphing June lltli, says: "The Russians are apparently taking the offensive have reached Sul Halteng and are advancing along the railway.

Doubts Story of a General Attack By Japanese on Port Arthur. St. Petersburg, June 9.—The war office denies the truth of the reports brought by the Chinese fugitives to Che Foo of a four days' land and sea attack on Porl Arthur, and of extensive damage to the forts. The ofllcial despatch from rear admiral Wlllsufl, dated June 7th, reports thnt the enemy lias been bombarding Porl Arthur intermittently from the sea, but does not mention serious operations trom the land side. The general staff seems certain that the enemy's guns have not, yet been brought up. An official despatch from Port Arthur lo one of the ministry says that only one regiment of Infantry participated at the defence of Kin Chou. The admiralty Is not. disposed to credit the story that the Port Arthur Btiuadron has left Port Arthur, or the rumor of lis juncture wllh the Vladl- vojtoeU squadron, although this Is evidently part of the program. If it comes to the worst the Porl. Arthur squadron will go ont antl give battle. The lnck of knowledge concerning lhe strength of the force sent south continues. The war office whicli seemingly is not fully advised In regard to general Kouropatkln's plans, says the commander-in-chief's ability lo detach an adequate force will depend on the number of troops at general Kuroki's disposal, concerning which apparently there Is no accurate Information, although the belief Is that the Japanese commander has about 48 Imitations at Feng Wang Cheng, and 3(1 In the vicinity of Taku Shan. The last Intelligence received at Ihe war office is to lhe effect that the Japanese have abandoned their advance north of Feng Wang Cheng and wesl or Sluyen. The Russians are holding Sin- yen and Saimatsza. While declining to furnish specific Information on the subject it seems certain that the Russians nre now in wireless communication with Port Arthur. By no other way could the rocelpl of admral Wlltsolf's despatch of Juno 7th, reporting the bombardment of Porl Arthur from the sea be accounted for. SHBUiINQ THE RUSSIANS.

In the ! reaches after they had been captured were found many articles of clothing belonging to women and children, who hnd been killed, making It. evident that ihe Russians intended their defence to lie permanent. LOST TWO MEN. Togo Mnkes a Reconnaissance nf Ihe Port Arthur Harbor. Toklo, June 8.—(Delayed In transmission.)—Admiral Togo reports that on the night of June 7th he sent eight small lurpedo boats from the battleships of his squadron lo make a reconnaissance off Port Arthur harbor. The boats went far inside the leads and were exposed to the Russian flre. One sailor and one petty officer were killed In the operation, but the boats escaped undamaged. Admiral Kataoka reports that on June 6th he landed men on Sanshan and Taku Islands, In Talienwan bay, for the puropse of making a reconnaissance. They found many of the buildings there w.>i-e only partially destroped, - In the hospitals some supplies were also found. JAPANESE WERE REPULSED. Report That Port Arthur Was Attacked By Land and Sea. SI. Petersburg, Juno 9.—Special despatches from Liao Yang report that Chinese have brought the news that, the Japanese on June 2nd attacked Port Arthur by land and sen, but were repulsed with a loss of 3,GOO men and four vessels, which, judging from the descriptions given or Ihem, were torpedo boats. Oilier despatches give rumors of a naval baltle between two fleets ln tbe gulf ot Pechlli nnd a definite report of a bombardment in Llao Tung gulf near Kal Ping which may foreshadow a landing I here for the purpose of cutting the railroad back of the Russians troops operating around Wafandian. KOUROPATKIN'S MOVEMENTS. II Is Alleged That the General Is Mov ing Southward. St. Petersburg, June 9.—Among the rumors that till the city tonight la oue on better authority than the average, Ibal gcncal Kouropatkln Is himself moving southward from Liao Yang. II is not possible in authoritatively confirm Hie report but the public takes hold eagerly of every scrap of Information or misinformation concerning evftnits /In tlie far east. Every one is alert for official news nf a serious attack on Port Arthur, which it Is felt cannot be long delayed. SI. Petersburg Is displaying more Interest In Ihe fate of Port Arthur than In any event since tlie naval reverse. In spile of philosophical calm with which the authorities a month ngo said that Port Arthur would probably fall or be abandoned In lhe course nf lhe campaign, Russians find it hnrd now that the event has become an Imminent possibility to resign themselves wllh Indifference toward the garrison now lighting In Isolation. Save a brief message of mysterious origin from rear admiral Wlitoff both Ihe people and the official world are In the dark concerning events in southern Llao Tung. Crowds larger than usual nre before the bulletin boards, The feeling continually voiced is for definite news to allay the suspense.

The squadron cruised in sections, bombarding various points east, of Kal Chou and Sen Ytlehon directing their flre on our posts and patrols wherever these appeared. "The squadron ceased firing nl 7 p. m., and steamed away southward. Our losses are none, nor did we abstain any material damage. Six ships appeared south of Kwan Tsia Tung and lowered boats. Six other ships bombarded the coast near Scr, Yu Cheng and the town itself. "Japaneso troops are concentrating southward witli a front extening more than ten miles from Pulnntlen to Fang Tsia Tung, in the valley of the Tass- akho.

Che Foo, June 9.—Chinese arriving from Port Arthur aay the entrance to that harbor ia still blocked aud that large vessels are unable to pass In or out. Gunboats and torpedo boats can effect a pauEage only at high tide. The Russians have several fortified positions extending for a distance of seven miles out and under the fortr at Port Arthur. The Japanese are bombarding Port Arthur daily from a considerable distance off shore fearing to attempt a closer range of flre on account of danger from Russian mines. The Russian officials have notified the Chinese that ofllcers who have treated Chinese cruelly have to be punished. Both aides are doing their utmost Lo earn the good will of the Chinese. KUROKI IS FEINTING. Trying to Slop Kouropatkln From Relieving Port Arthur. St. Petersburg June II.—-All Japanese movements arc Interpreted here as caused by anxiety to hamper as much as possible whatever movement general Kouropatkln may lie making to help Port Arthur, Nol. only have the Japaneso bombarded Hie west coast of Llao Tung peninsula, where the railway is close to the shores, making feints ut debarkation, but general Kuroki lias assumed Hie offensive eastwards.

The authorities say that they are without Information alionl the fight at Siamatsze beyond the official despatch lhat was mado public tonight, but that the withdrawal was quite In accordance with Kouropatkln's prearranged plan, although the Russian losses Indicated stubborn fighting.

From time to lime I have made suggestions regarding our future course here. Though successful we must have control, whicli is only obtainable when there Is the weight of dominant power hacking the advice given, The lack of this will render the services of any foreign advisor useless.

He advocated an appeal the United States to act with Great drltain in the matter . Sir Charles asked if ln tbe face of the facts admitted by tbe Belgian government the time hud not come to sweep away all the difficulties and force the Belgian government to act by stronger measures than mere words'and despatch with reference to this horrible scandal. Other speakers supported sir Charles' suggestion to appeal to the United Slates. The under secretary for foreign affairs.earl Percy, said the Brltlshr government bad thought the Congo government would readily recognize tbe necessity for a searching inquiry, but had been disappointed. Was It possible, be asked, in the face of the Congo government's own testimony, to avoid the conclusion that the refusal to make an Inquiry showed that the Belgian government was afraid of revelations or would not reform the system which permitted such atrocities? The Congo government's later proposal to Investigate the charges made had altered the situation slightly, but an unsatisfactory feature of this proposal was tbat the Congo government did not know whnt. form the Investigation would take or what tribunal would carry out nny reforms which might be determined nnon. Karl Percy, at the end of a long speech, reviewing the situation in the Congo, charged officials with permitting "insensate, Inhuman cruelties to he practiced In order that they might profit by the collection of rubber." It was In the conviction that the fair fame or western civilization was at stake that the British government appealed not less to the powers than to the Congo Itself. The British government hoped tbe officials would prosecute tbe Inquiry which they were solemnly and publicly pledged to. Brussels, June 9.—It Is understood that the Congo state government considers the British proposal of a special commission to Inquire Into Its administration as unacceptable and contrary to its dignity of independence.

Besides this the capture of lhe stronghold would have a strong moral effect, decreasing the credit of Knssla and strengthening thai of Japan. Its capture, therefore, would be lhe pivotal poini of the war. anil from the day of its taking, the cause ot Russia would steadily wane, although Ihe war will probably drag along for some time thereafter. The taking of Port Arthur is therefore, of so much importance to Japan that no mailer whal the coat in treasure and blood may be., it must bo done if It is within the power of Japan to accomplish it. The fruits of such a victory are so great tbat they are worth lhe price, no matter how high ll may be. In the game of war a victory like ihe one Ihe Japanese would win by taking Port Arthur arc so great thai 20,000 or 30,000 lives are counted cheap to win it.

Australia, Now Zealand and South Africa, are demberitlc countries. Their people take to politics as eagerly us do Canadians. Yet nil these divisions of oreat Britain succeed in mak- Ing .state owned railroads pay expanses, South Africa docs moro than that. Owing to the Industrial peculiarities of lite country, the people prefer to work their railroads as u source of profit, and they realize six or seven per cent yearly on their outlay Thus they pay off nil ot their railway charges and put a comfortable siun In the treasury. The Cape Colony ' way of putting It is lhat* the railways pay the salaries of the civil servants, Australia and New Zealand having large t agricultural Interests, prefer low freight tales lo dividends, and work tlie railways to cOVei' expenses, expressly lOOltltlff fOI' their profits In the stimulus lo trade and settlement, The exact figures for Australasia are Interesting.

A strong nrgumont in favor of the nationalisation of railways Is supplied hy the experience of Germany. Tiie acquisition of tho railways hy the govern- mem was due to rottenness of the flrl- v.-iie managentent as exposed hy tho parlln- ! montrl'y Inquiry of 1873. This investigation j was conducted by the late Edward Las- ; |kol\ a pnirlfitlc Herman statesman, who | gendered the government, to which lie WOS generally opposed, valuable assistance (in carrying the measure for the purcnose tot the lailwayu. ' In the rotirse of tho Investigation he visited the United States, and studied tiie railway question with cure. Mis conclusions were summed up hi a brief statement he made at the time. "You In Ameri- "Ott must sooner or later acquire your "railways and place them under public "management. It will -come as a neces- "slly, for nntur.il force--*-* nre at work which "will compel you to take this ctiurae," As the methods ot railway management in Canada are the same as iu the United stales, the statements of Mr. Lnskor up; lily wllh equal forco on ibis side ut tho boundary. All classes of itie people of Germany seem to regard the railway question as finally and satisfactorily settled. This is the conclusion uf,those who have to do with the practical questions of operation, as well as those who, like university professors, study It from an academic point of view. A professor of Halle, who In 1877 seriously questioned the expediency o fstate owned railways, as the result or experience lias been converted into an uncompromising adherent of the system. Before the slate acquired lhe roads the movement was opposed with precisely the sume arguments that ok- heard on this continent todny, Hut the advocates of the reform, by sane, strong and persistent agitation secured lis adoption. Experience has confirmed their wisdom. WILL umsTAL COMPRESSOR Work tu Proceed at Once If (iovei-nmcnt Will Build a Rond J. It.

"But thoro Is one drawback." said Mr. Bottroffi "that we cannot overcome tin- til the government extends assistance to us, nnd that Is this: The Beatrice trail practically passes through the .Silver Dol* lar, and we want that trnll widened and graded so that a wafrort can haul our compressor to the she selected fur It, a distance of aliouI three mid a hnlf miles from Camborne. That portion of the trait leaving town will have tu be rebuilt, as lite present grade is far loo steep for a wagon road.' "My company Inlemls doing n lot of work on the Silver Dollar tbls summer, and Will prosecute the work wltb the latest methods.

In allowing untrained men to handle the rifle without supervision. Practically when men have received n reasonably preliminary training, It should be impossible for a slipt to miss the target by more than live or six feet, except In eases where shots strike the grofitiu Aral and ricochet, In the latter ease thn life of the bullet Is always limited to a comparatively short distance, and the danger is to that extent minimized, hut In tlie case of Wild shooting, the bullet may travel n very long distance to one side or Hie other before It strikes the ground.

Arizona, M was the annual pony rare between the Pima and Maricopa Indians, For weeks prior tn tlie great event preparations were made. Each Indian brave wished to content Tor the honor of hts trlbn. The ponies were carefully groomed und fed preparatory to the try-out, the winner of which was delegated lo contest for tlie tribe, The event thin yenr took placo on tlie Pima reservation, Fur days previous to the race a strange sight could be seen, Mnrlcopn Indian*, with londs Df grain, ponies, burros und cuttle, nil lo be wgorod on tho race. (railed along the deserl towards the Pima hunting ground, Large bets were made, not In money, lmt f,n Indian luxuries, such ah grain, Iwads, ponies and steers, and, In n few cases, squaws. No Indian Will lake a bet of another unless the wagered article Is produced, On this account tlie finishing point presented a strange appearance iwi the dny of tho rnce. .Grain In the sack, piled In assorted heaps; Indian ponies, tied head to head; steers, roped and prostrate on tip* ground, side by side; all wagered on the outcome of the contest. On the afternoon of the race nn less than NX> Indians were collected at the Btartlpg point. The race for five miles, two and a half miles to a marked spot which acts an a turning point, is run across thu trackless doBort, through cacti sago brush and sand. The Piina iJidlun, Juan, upon appearing was greeted with whoops and grunts of Indian approval hy the Pima. He wus clad ln bright red, Intermingled with green j woro heavy buckskin and huge spurs. His long, black hair, matted by luck ot" toji- sorlal attention, was tied jauntily with blue and whito beads and three red feathers acted as a headpiece. His opponent, Charlie, soon arrived, mounted upon a yellow buckskin pony, and gaily bedecked In yellow und red colors. He wore no shirt As a matter of courtesy, the Maricopa Indian chief acted as starter. Instead of the customary pistol shot, ho let out a long, many Byllabled Indian warhoop, and tliey were off, neck and neck, through the cacti. The buckskin pony took the leud, due to the bucking proclivities of the Pima pony. Excitement was intense. Th.: chunky squaws, with their calico dresses and pappooses strapped on their bucks gabbled voluahly iu the Indian lingo to each other. The sedate and composed bucks ull dressed In gladsome colors, gf»vo fritf-Jent whoops of anticipation, Afier what seemed ages of waiting, a gray cloud of dust could he seen across the desert. The crowd surged foi ward. In the distance the entries seemed to he running even, but on nearer approach it was seen that the Pima pony, covered with sad, sweat und spur marks, led. Then, Jutui, the hope of the Pima tribe, drew quickly away from his opponent. Yells nnd whoops on one side, were ii.tor- mingled with Indian und Mexican curses on the other, Tlie crowd parted, tlie hero Juan, the Pima had won by more tl an a length. Willi erics of joy he was borne, above all, triumphant, to tho Plina feast of victory. Several of the Marieopas trie 1 ti Meal back their wagered ponies, but :n vain.

Swell amounts of smuggled fire water were to hnve helped the celebration or drowned Iho defeat, but some treacherous braves had forestalled their fellows und drank it up during the race, A flre dance, however, wus celebrated, led by Juan, until finally, one by one, they dropped from sheer exhaustion, NEW C.

DECLARES COAL DUST CAUSED THE EXPLOSION. As was expected, yesterday's session at the sittings, where the trial of the damage suits iu in progress daily he- fore Mr. Justice Martin, proved unusually Interesting through the appearance of William Blakemore In the box, aa an expert witness on behalf of the plaintiffs. Mr. Blakemore took the stand at 11 o'clock and his evidence in chief was not concluded when the court rose for the day at. -UO. ln the hands of bis counsel Mr. Blakemore made a clear and admirable witness and be lost no time In the telling of his story, at leaBt one effect of which was to explain much of the testimony already heard, and to show the direct application thereof. The views of the witness as to what occurred at the time of tbe explosion at Coal Creek, the cause and his reasons for his opinion, were strongly put In terse language. Mr. Blakemore was the first manager of the property and opened It up originally. He was present at the inquest after the accident and has heard the evidence adduced at. the present trial. His opinions given yesterday were based on these three matters together wilh bis general knowledge as a civil engineer and mining engineer. He declared that the accident at No. 2 and .1 mines was the result of a dust explosion and that all the evidence obtainable pointed that way, and that way only,, and he pronounced the mines In question "dry and dusty" and the manner of watering wholly unsafe and Inadequate. Time and again, Mr, Taylor, in referring to the evidence already In, referred pointedly to Mr. Drinnan's testimony and repeatedly asked Mr. Blakemore, that assuming the facts to be "as stated by Drinnan" what was his opinion, etc. Presumably Mr. Blake- mnre's evidence In chief will be concluded this morning, when Mr. Bodwell will commence his cross examination. When court first opened yesterday, John Frederic Wilks, a coal miner, was called, hut bis examination and cross examlnntion elicited nothing particularly new. At 10.55 Mr. Taylor called William Bin k em ore, who said be was a resident of Nelson, and a mining und civil engineer. Asked to state bis (nullifications al length, the witness said he had been engaged in coal mining for the past 30 years. He obtained his certificate trom the British government as a mine manager nfter being articled to his father, who had been a mine manager for 55 years. After taking a science course be hnd charge of snyetat properties In finc-- laud wilh his father as consulting engi- tt&tA, He had been asslstanl engineer for llie Midland railway for three years, and for ihe Northwestern for one year. After holillnc several important positions tn the old country be came to Canada in ISii: us the manager for the Dominion <"mii ciir.pany at Cape Breton, in Nova Scotia, and later took charge or the Crow's Nc-'il Pass Coal company's nff-il.v. nnfl opened up the mines now being Investigated. In 18fl7» till June, IS!*!*. He was succeeded hy James John- Rlone. He hft-rf vt felted and Inspected wary lnrge working coal mines in England and ''Vales nml In Ihe United Slates, In England be had to deal with mines that were both wet and dry and gaaneoua as well as non-gasseous properties. In May, 1902, he had gone to Fernle as .soon as he heard of the accident as he had brought many of the miners west with him when he came and knew their families. At the urgent request of the men he had taken part tn the Inquest, which lasted about two weeks. He was quite familiar with the coal seams in Nos. 2 and '& mines having opened them from 300 to 400 feet in different places, Both seams were bituminous about 6 feet thick, of tender friable coal wtth a strong shale floor and a similar roof. The coal was very porous and easily drained of water or gas,. One marked feature was the Irregular wavy form of the floor, the result of which was the formation of numerous basins in the ways and entries. From the first the seam yielded water and gas, but dried quickly, especially going down the main entry. Taking up tbe question of coal dust tbe witness explained that it was made by mining and blasting and by sprinkling from cars along lhe ways. It came from no other considerable cause under ordinary circumstances. The dust was carried about by the ventilating air current and was deposited all over the workings. Cars used should be practically dust tight, those ln use at Coal Creek were not so. Witness further explained how bad loading would tend to Increase dust, adding that mixed coal and shale dust was explosive. The result of attrition was to render still finer floating dust. Pillars and ribs were continually perishing in the old workings, thus forming more dust. Mr. Blakemore traced the discovery of dust as an explosive In coal mines from Davy and Faraday in 1845, up tu the present time, pointing out that the whole question had heen dealt with exhaustively hy the British Royal commission on "Explosions from coal dust In mines" in 1891. The report ot the commission now formed the text book on the subject, and since it was issued, some conclusions which the commissioners arrived at, which were dobuted by experts at the time, have been abundantly proved. The line of Investigation followed hy the commission are thus summarized: 1, The circumstances of many explosions, and especially of explosions on a very large scale, and covering a great length of tbe workings, cannot he fully explained by reference to flre damp or gas alone. II. The presence of coal dust and especially of fine dust, may be the sole cause of an explosion. III. If coal dust is in sufficient quantities It will certainly extend the effect and increase tbe Intensity of an explosion caused by other means. IV. Flre damp in small quantities (so small as not to he dangerous in Itself), muy be highly dangerous in the presence of coat dust, The main conclusions arrived at included the following: 1. The danger of explosion In a mine In which gas exists, even In very small quantities, is greatly Increased by the presenoj' of coal dusi. 2. A gas explosion in a fiery mine may be Intensified, and carried on Indefinitely hy coal dust raised hy the explosion itself. 3. Coal dusi alone, without the presence of any gns at all, may cause n dnneerqiiB explosion if Hgutted l>v a blown-out shot or othcrvlnlent Inflammation. To produce such a result, however, the conditions must he exceptional, and are likely lo he produced only on rare occasions, 4. Different dusts are inflammable, and A MELLOW TASTING -SMOKE HE tobacco plant is extremely sensitive to sou and climate. Tnere are certain localities in the world •where tobacco -grows. Because of the climate and. soil of these districts the tobacco of each is peculiarly adapted to certain and different uses. Thus the Burmese leaf makes a good cheroot — from Virginia and Turkey we get good pipe tobacco—but for cigar fillers I know of no locality like the Mamcaragua ci.-trict, in the Province of Santa Clara, Cuba. The superiority of this tobacco is due entirely to the sou and climate. When I tell you that I select the best leaves of this best favored spot—you can see the reason for my Pharaoh being a superior smoke -—- one with an aromatic fragrance — and delicate mellow taste. loa •yGRANBV.PQ. ne genuine »;;,« w. pV» nlew branded > * '** *^ consequently, dangerous in varying degrees; but It cannot he said with absolute certainty that any dust is entirely free from risk. 5. There appears to be no probability that a dengerous explosion of coal dust alone could ever be produced in a mine by a naked light or ordinary flame. Mr. Blakemore explained how further explosions would result by the distillation of gas from coal dust meeting a fresh supply of oxygen. The conditions most favorable for an explosion would be the existence of dry dust, within the reach of high temperature. Had witnessed many small dust explosions in Nova Scotia, these came from blown- put shots, and went off in a series of puffs. Black blnsting powder would produce gas momentarily. Explosion was defined as "a sudden increase in tbe pressure of gasses, by Uie sudden expansion of materinl, gasses or otherwise, in the vicinity." A "dry nnd dusty" mine was defined as one which contains very considerable areas of dry eoal dust such being the natural condition of the mine. This could be aggravated artificially. The witness was taken over No. 2 mine by districts, with reference to admitted damp and dry areas—outside of Drinnan's evidence—nnd he declared that No. 2 was within the description of a dry and dutsy mine. As a whole none of the wet areas would stop the course of a dust explosion, established tn the dry areas. Having heard Drinnan's evidence as to damp and dry places In No. 2, the witness said he would not aller his description of the mine as a dry and dusty one. , The proper removal of the dry dusi, and the proper system Of watering both of which, the witness snid were necessary to make the mine safe to work In, were described in detail and the methods adopted nt Coal Creek mines were condemned as out of date and inadequate, and could not be said to he effective In any sense. Watering by cart, and powder cans was in vogue, 25 or 30 years ago, hut had long since been abandoned, Mr, Blakemore said that from all the evidence al. his disposal he was convinced tbat tbe accident, at Nos. 2 and 3 mines on May 22nd, 1902, was a coal dust explosion and nothing else. His reasons for so thinking were: Proved existence of large areas ot dry coal dust: absence of sufficient areas of dampness or wetness as would change the general character of the workings. Evidences of coking In its various stages, which could only have resulted from distillation of gasses containing coal dust, which lay in the path of the explosion. Antecedent conditions on the day of the explosion, absence of evidence as to tbe existence In any pari of the mine of a sufficient (plantlly of gas to have produced such an explosion. The entire improbability, amounting to impossibility, of such a body of gas being in existence without some one discovering It. The absence of evidence of an interruption of the vcutillating appliances of the mine, which alone could account for such an accumulation of gns. Drinnan's evidence as to lhe blower of gas on McDonald's level .showed thai the flow there was so slight thai it was Impossible that ll could have caused the explosion, The finding of lhe bodies of tbe men at their working places In the direct line of the air current prevents the idea lhat gas from the blower amounted to sufficient to make explosion. Given gas only in section 3 of the No. 2 mine, the destruction of overcasts, etc, as descrilied would be nn Impossibility. From liiiiinan's evidence lhe cnn.-" of the force exerted In and along McDonald's level was a dust explosion. A slight explosion of gas on Reliance Gold Mining & Ping Go., Ltd.

Mere board stoppings would not stay a dust explosion. Tbere were three possible causes for Initial explosion. The blower could have been ignited, a blown out shut and a naked light, or defective safety lamp. A gas explosion could not have covered the area where coke has heen found. This could only be brought about by a number of coal dust explosions and Is only consistent therewith. The blast undoubtedly passed out of the main entry following the line of dust, and of least resistance. Burrows' evidence confirms this. A gas explosion would naturally follow return air way. Coal dust would go against the air, one is just the opposite of the other, Drinnan's evidence violates the flrst principles of gas explosions and confirms the coal dust theory.
