Mr. W. S. Stevens KilledCRUSHED BY A CAR
W. S. Stevens Dies of Injuries Received at Eclipse.
DIED IN THREE HOURS
W.S. STEVENS, AN EMPLOYE OF THE ECONOMIC GOLD EXTRACTION COMPANY AT ECLIPSE CRUSHED UNDER A CAR.
W.S. Stevens, an employee of the Economic Gold Extraction company's mill in Eclipse gulch, was crushed so terribly under the wheels of a heavily-loaded flat car yesterday morning at 10 o'clock that he died from his injuries three hours afterward.
Stevens and a fellow workman were unloading a heavy roaster for the mill from the flat car, when the brakes gave way. Both men jumped from the car, but Stevens' right foot caught in some rope and he was dragged in front of the moving car.
The front wheels passed over his left foot, crushing it to a pulp, and then over his body in the region of the stomach, breaking his back. He was removed to his home in Eclipse gulch.
Stevens leaves a wife and children, and his death will be deeply felt by his many friends.

For the past few days two rosters have been going and a great quantity of ore has been run through the huge run way of fire and now the pulp bins are almost to the overflowing point and very little room remains for more pulp and it is now absolutely necessary to start the barrels.
Three shifts of men are being employed in crushing and when the barrels are started a great many more men will be employed in the big mill.

The increase in the mill-grade production is very gratifying. It is due to the increased capacity of the reduction plants treating Cripple Creek ores. Satisfactory reports for the Economic mill are on hand, which it is officially stated is a complete success. Its production would be much higher if it were possible to get a larger supply of water.

Economic Mill FireFIRE AT ECONOMIC MILL.
At 9:30 Monday morning fire was discovered in the east wing of the Economic Gold Extraction company's big plant on the west slope of Squaw mountain, in Eclipse gulch. Excellent work by the mill's fire department saved the plant from total destruction.
An officer of the Woods Investment company, which owns the control of the Economic Gold Extraction company, estimated the loss at $7,500, fully covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is not definitely known, but it is supposed to have started from the flues running from the furnace to and under the drying tables. The blaze had gained considerable headway before it was discovered, as the mill is constructed principally of wood.
The fire alarm gong was sounded and the plant's fire brigade was soon at work. The trestle from the ore house to the mill was blown down with dynamite, so that the flames could not spread.
The Gold Coin mine whistle in Victor spread the alarm and Victor's firemen soon had 3320 feet of hose connected with the big Gold Coin pump and laid through the Columbine-Victor tunnel to the mill.
It was not necessary to use this.
Mayor Crane of this city went to the scene of the fire with six members of the local department to assist in extinguishing the flames.
The entire shift of Gold Coin miners was also taken to the mill.
The firemen at the mill had the flames under control when the additional forces arrived and soon the blaze was extinguished. Not a wheel in the big plant was injured but the frame work of the drying room was badly burned.
The total insurance on the reduction plant is $230,000 and on the cyanide plant $20,000. Twenty thousand dollars of additional insurance was put on the big mill the previous Saturday, and at the time of the fire W. A. Stewart, the Victor insurance agent, and an adjuster were inspecting the mill.
They had a good opportunity of fully investigating the fire and the work of the company's fire brigade.
Carpenters were put to work at 1 o'clock repairing the damage and it is thought that inside of two weeks all these repairs will have been made.

Economic Mill Men in StrikeSTRIKE OF MILL MEN AT VICTOR.
Sixty-five workmen employed at the mill of The Economic Gold Extraction Company, at Victor, went on strike July 14th, for an advance in wages of from $2.75 to $3.00 per day. The demand only affected 22 employes; the others were receiving $3.00 per day, but went out in sympathy.
About three months prior to this time the management of the Economic mill had reduced the wages of a part of the workmen from $3.00 to $2.75, this strike being for the purpose of restoring the schedule.
The mill is owned by The Woods Investment Company, with Frank Woods as manager.
The strike was ordered after a committee of the mill workers had waited upon the manager and failed in the attempt to have the increase granted. The manager alleged that the mill was not operating at a profit, and that to grant the advance would compel the works to be run at a loss. The trouble only lasted two days and was settled by the workmen receiving the advance desired.
This made the wages of all mill men in the Cripple Creek district uniform, and made the minimum $3.00 per day.

Economic Mill Workers Will Be Back at WorkUNION WORKERS LOCKED OUT
————————————
Denver, Oct. 1.—A Republican special from Cripple Creek last night says:
This afternoon the workers employed by the Woods Investment Company received notification from General Manager Frank M. Woods who addressed them briefly, telling them that his company would no longer put up with the domination of the Western Federation of Miners, and that the company had decided to close its properties. He added that they would be reopened in the morning and that all old employes who wished to could return to work, provided they renounced allegiance to the Federation.
The union men at the Economic mill, some fifty in number, received the same notification, but only a few will quit work. The Woods company has been operating with reduced forces since the strike was declared in the district.
Hereafter only non-union men will be employed. When working all its properties full force, the company gives employment to nearly 500 men. As a precautionary measure, General Chase to-night has distributed guards at the Gold Coin, the Deadwood, the Wild Horse on Bull hill, the Economic mill, the damsite and as far east as the power house at Skagway.
All these properties are controlled by the Woods Investment Company.

329Info Title:
Economic Mill Info The Sulpho-Telluride and Partially Oxidized Ore material treated locally at present is done at the 300-ton Gold Coin Mill of the Gold Coin Mine company in Victor, situated in Eclipse Gulch, near Victor. It is built in steep terraces, at the mouth of the Gold Coin Tunnel.
The process used here is barrel chlorination. The ore is crushed in a McCully gyratory crusher, rough rolled, sampled, and the crushing completed to 16 to 20 mesh for the sulpho-telluride ore, and a 12 to 16 mesh for the more oxidized varieties.
Roasting is effected in a battery of six Argall furnaces, with an auxiliary dust plant of two Pearce furnaces. Dissolution of the gold is accomplished in 20 ton chlorination barrels, using perforated lead plate filters.
These are the largest barrels in use treating Cripple Creek district ores. Chlorine has been generated here by electrolysis of a sodium-chloride solution.
The process gave excellent results when operating satisfactorily, but on two occasions serious explosions occurred, and lately the generating plant was indefinitely closed down.
At present the mill has reverted to former practice: bleach and sulphuric acid are used. The barrel residues are concentrated on Wilfley tables, the Wilfley concentrate being cleaned by rerunning on a Bartlett table. Hydrogen sulphide is used as the precipitant for the barrel solutions.

226Info Title:
Economic Chlorination Mill Totally Destroyed by Fire Last Week Denver.—The big Economic chlorination mill in Eclipse gulch, built and operated by the Woods Investment company, was totally destroyed by fire last week and there was little or no insurance.
While it cannot be regarded as a serious loss to the Cripple Creek district because it has been idle for some time its use being confined to the needs the owning company's mines and most of which were also idle, it might have been utilized and made useful by substituting cyanide for chlorination.

Economic Mill BurntCripple Creek, Colorado.
Economic Mill Burnt.
The plant of the Economic Gold Extraction Co., situated on the west slope of Squaw mountain above Eclipse gulch, was destroyed by fire on January 30. The loss is estimated at a quarter of a million dollars. Fire was first discovered in the early morning near the ore-bins and, helped by a slight breeze, soon extended to the other buildings.
The mill was erected by the Wood's Investment Co. in 1899, and the chlorination process was in use, which proving unsatisfactory owing to recent advances in other methods of ore treatment, necessitated the closing down of the mill last June.
