Positive This Time.

PITTsBURG, June 26.-A Dunbar spe-
cial to The Leader Wednesday morning
said:
The rescuing party passed the line Of
the Hill Farm mine early this morning.
The men are now digging in soft coal
and making rapid progress. The dis
tance yet to be tunneled is not definitely
known. 1t may be twenty feet and it
may be eighty feet. That developments
are expected very soon, however, is ap-
parent from the nature of the prepara-
tions in progress.
Another Account.
Another dispatch from Dunbar says:
The rescuers are positive that they
have at last struck the coal line between
the Mahoning and Hill Farm mines, and
that they are within sixty feet of the
entombed miners. If their calculations
are right they should reach them some
time to-day. There is great excitement
about the pit, but the most sanguine
hardly hope to find the men alive.
