Silverton, Colo, June I. Six men
are dead, eight others In a dangerous
condition from breathing foul air and
Si more temporarily confined to their
homes from weakness due to contact
with poisoned air in the Gold King
mine, located at Gladstone, six mile
from here.
The dead: Peter McNiny; Roy Co
burn; Alex. Johnson; A. W. Burns;
Victor Ertckson, Gus Olsen.
On Thursday night fire was dis
covered in the engine room of the
mine and before It could be brought
under control, that building had been,
destroyed, as well as the shaft house.
The two buildings were located near
the portal door of the main shaft and
to prevent the spread of the flame
and accumulation of smoke In the
workings of the mine, these doors
were cled temporarily.
Before taking this precautionary
move, the men working the night shift
in the mine were hurriedly notified
of the conditions on the surface and
Instructed to withdraw. When the
flames had been extinguished in or
der to make sure that all was well
with the men, the list was checked
over.
Th discovery was made then that
three men were missing. Immediate
ly efforts to rescue them were start
ed, but with little hope of reaching
them alive, as the machinery operat
ing the fans had been put ont of
commission by the destruction of the
engine house' end any pure air that
might have reached them from the
'surface had been shut off by the clos
ing of the portal doors.

REDISTRICTING RESERVES.
Plana of tlte President Are Betas; Put
Into Execution.
Washington. June T. The first step
toward carrying out a comprehensive
plan of redisricting the national for
ests In western states has Just been
made by the president in signing ex
ecutive orders effective July 1, estab
lishing the Cache and Pocatello n
tlonal forests In northern Utah and
southern Idaho.
The object of this plan Is to equalise
areas of administrative units and re
arrange their boundaries In such a
manner as to promote the most effi
cient administration. No actual addi
tion to the national forest area la In
volved In the plan.
The Cache forest will consist of the
Logan and Idaho divisions of the Bear
river national forest, and will be ad
ministered by Supervisor Woodruff,
with headquarters at Logan, Utah.
The Pocatello national forest will con
sist of the present Pocatello and Port
Neut national forests, together with
the Malad division of the Bear river
forest These areas will be admlnls-
etred by Supervisor Wrensted, with
headquarters at Pocatello, Idaho,
Under the general plan of redisrict
ing 18 new administrative units will
be established from the existing na
tional forest area. The attempt Is be
ing made by the forest service to re
duce the area of the administrative
units to an average of approximately
1,000,000 acres. This will not be pos
sible In all cases, as Is shown by the
fact that under the plan of redisrict
ing there will be 144 supervisors who
will administer more than 155,000,000
acres of national forest area
