In an explosion of dust in the mine of the Gilson Asphaltum Mix company at Dragon, Utah, morning, two Wednesday Greeks were Instantly killed, and the mins, one of the richest of Its kind In tbs United States, was damaged to tbe extent of $100,000. The explosion was caused, it is believed, by one of the Greek miners dropping a match on the floor and igniting the gUeonlte dust. The bodies of the two men have not been recovered, and it is not believed that they will ever be, as they are probably cremated. Water thrown on the flames seem to add to the fury of the fire, and there is no hope of saving the mins in that way. More than 100 men are now. working, trying to smother the flames, bnt are meeting with indifferent success. There are 200 men employed in the mine. The night shift of 103 med had just got out of the mine, and the last of them were but 100 yards distant when an explosion occurred.

Telegrams from Fair banka to the attorney general stated that open air mass meeting! are being held by the striking miners, and that threats of violence have been made. The distance from Fort Gibbon to Fairbanks is 155 milea, and the troops will be carried by sleds over the route, which is said to be a very good one.

Fairbanks is in the center of a mining country, with a population of or 8,000. Persona in Washington familiar with the conditions existing at Fairbanks say the trouble ia the outcome of a strike a year or more rgo for higher wages and shorter hours for miners.
