TWO MILES UNDER GROUND.
Experiences OF = Reporter Who Wanted
to Investigate Things.

Experiences of Reporter Who Wanted
to Investigate Things.
A dinner two miles under ground is
something Of novelty to the average
man. A Times reporter tried 1t recently
and found that the experience was both
curious and enjoyable after fashion.
He was bound to see John Ball, a
worker in the New Detmole mine, and
it was Just noon when he reached the
entrance to the shaft. The cars had
stopped running and the steaming horses
stood by the entrance greedily munching
their oats. John Ball would not be out
until night. He worked two miles in
side, so there was nothing for the re-
porter to do but to put on the weighers
cap kindly offered to him and take in
his hand little oil lamp.
The reporter started at brisk walk,
and the mouth soon dwindled to a very
small patch Of light His footsteps pro-
duced a very lonesome echo, and the
shadow danced in queer unsightly shapes
along the floor and sides of the corridor.
His eyes at last grew accustomed to the
darkness, and down the side passages he
caught glimpses Of lamps on the heads
Of men who had stopped working and
were eating dinner.
At last the visitor came upon some
miners in the branch heading. They
directed him how to turn by the marks
on the props, and fifteen minutes walk
through tunnel, about eight feet high
and as many wide, brought hun to a new
heading, where, seated on a huge block
of coal, in front Of a. solid wall Of black
diamond, sat John Ball, quietly eating
his dinner. His lamp rested on the
block OF coal, and though the reflection
fell full upon him he was so black from
bead to foot as to be almost indistin-
guishable from his surroundings. 1t was
the day after Thanksgiving, and his
bucket was running over with the relics
Of the feast Of the day before, The miner
insisted on sharing his supply with the
reporter, and soon both were engrossed
IN the same occupation. The reporter
was soon convinced Of one thing-dining
in coal mine is a success.

Reaching the main corridor his car was
coupled to others from other headings,
and with three men at the breaks our

To keep his balance on q sharp turn and

energy. On the train rushed. past head
ings, miners and horses, until way over
the top Of the wriggling line Of cars the
reporter saw daylight CLEAN like an cleo
trio fash. The brakes were put hard
down and the wheels stopped, but such
was the momentum that on the train
slid a. over a creased surface for half .
mile. and at last it shot out into the
broad daylight just as the night shift
was coming to work. 1t was rapid
