the mine and men were sent to work removing the obstructions so as to reach the chamber get the bodies out if possible SCENES A special train left City at 2 this afternoon with surgeons and a large number of citizens to render all aid possible The town of Crested Butte is in mourning Crowds of women cluster about tne entrance to the mine praying hands and crying ing a scene most heartrending It is said that at the time of the explosion there were ten kegs of black powder in chambers 1 and 2 where the men were working and where the sion is said to have place The mine has three miles of drif tine and so it is impossible to definitely locate by the use ot all the latest and most approved appliances for mine tion and it was considered one of the best ventilated mines in the It was examined by an inspector about six weeks ago and in his report he stated that it had the worst air and ventilation of any in the states The owners claim that the air supply was more than four times the amount required bylaw The fireman made his ular rounds yesterday morning be fore the men went to work and found a small quantity of gas in three rooms In two the men were warned and given The miner who belonged in the third was told not to go in until a in the brattice caused by letting down a car the night before could be repaired The carpenter came out of the mine to get material to mend the brattice and just as he reached the open air the explosion occurred It is thought that the miner disregarded orders and through some means the mine bots John Gibson appeared to have earned tlie enmity of these men and last night threats were made against his life The trouble does not appear to be because of any blame attached to him regarding the accident of yesterday morning but is rather an old grudge and the Mollies appeared to thing the present occasion presented a op- for getting oven However no attempts at violence have so far been made but the more timid ones fear trouble to-night Gen

from three to six cents per pound higher than and this in turn from six to ten cents higher than and no doubt many have wondered whit practical difference there can be between these various grades Creamery butter is simply pure sweet well made butter no better than is made at times bj many mer's wives but is made by persona who by devoting their time and at- tention to this work ting it a secondary to other house hold by being supplied with every appliances for controlling temperature cleanliness etc having such skill in it that the quality of their butter is of perfect uniformity from one end of the year to the other consequently consumers know just what they will get in buying it Dairy butter is often just as good as Creamery but is made by per sons who are largely occupied by other duties to which the dairy is second ary consequently there is always a that some particular lot of butter shall be a little off flavor owing to neglect of the cows milk or butter at a critical period The large scalp upon which creamery butter is made is one of the factors to its uniformity it is next to impossible to make such butter from a single cow or even from two or three cows be cause of the changes constantly ring in the milk owing to changed of food remoteness from etc But when the milk is drawn from two or three some of which are weekly coming in fresh it will he seen that ona potent cause of larity in the quality of the butter is eliminated butter appears on far too many tables It is either white salvy rancid or tainted with the odors of unclean cellars or all of these
