TUE MORNING HOURS

At tho Mouth OF tho alinc-progrcss OF
Work.
DUNBAR, Pa, June 19.-Itis 72 hours
since the flash OF gas get fire to the Hill
Farm Mine.
The question in every ones mouth is:
"Are the men still n]iye?"
II they keep at the head OF the entry
tho chances are that they still live and
are anxiously waiting for the sound Of
the picks against the walls which shut
them in from life and sunshine.
In that right entry where the 32 men
are shut up there was at the time of the
explosion 80 buckets of food and 90
mules. Each bucket had about half raj.
Ion Of tea, and there is not drop of
fresh water in the entry. Sixteen gal
Ions Of tea is not great deal to last 72
hours, but it is better than nothing,
Beth Worman's steady belief that be
is going to bring some Of the men out
alive has increased confidence in all
hearts here, and nearly every one is now
ready to hope that some OF the men are
alive. 1t is believed that the men are
not only alive, but have made efforts
TO DIG THEIR WAY our.
In no other way can the increase OF air
in the hlahoning mine be accounted for.
Monday morning the current only meas
ured $4,000 cubic feet minute; it has
increased steadily till it is now 5000
cubic feet a minute, and the laus which
are ready to be put in operation are at
present useless.
This current has been caused by the
breaking down of the brattice which
was built between the opening that led
from the Mahoning mine to the Hill
farm. Who broke down tho opening? :?
That is the question that is puzzling the
miners who gathered on the outside.
Men on the outside hold that the men
in the entry are all together, and have
cut through this brattice. The ouly
danger would come from the black
damp on the other eide, but there we're
old and experienced men in the entry,
and they would make every preparation
for such IN event. The current would
be sufficient to clear away the damp,
and then they would have nothing to do
but wait for help.
There are three butts in this entry.
In the two upper butts fartbest from the
fire in the main entry, and in the one
farthest up, are Robert McGinell and
William Shearin, and in the next are
Daniel Smith, John Mitchell, James
McCleary, Thomus McCleary, John Div.
lin, John Cope and Andy Cope. The
remainder are in the butt nearest the
air. Some OF these men are the Oldest
employed at the mine, and have been iu
other accidents. They arc apt to have
kent their heads, and now must keep up
their cnllrauh.

STAHTtD 81 THE TRAINERS,

How tho Strike Wns Innusurntcd Mt the
Michigan Mines.
CALUMET, Mlcn., June 10.-The men
employed in the mines here made {
formal demand OH Assistant superinten,
dent Watson for 10 per cent. increase
10 wages.
Upon examination Of the books it was
found that the miners wages for the las
month averaged over Sjj. Mr.. Watson
stated that he knew an advance Of wages
was under advisenent, and there would
be no difficulty III arranging some such
advance wht n the Superintendent, who
had gone to Arizona, returned. This
satisfied the miners, and they promised
to 60 TO work, but the trammers were
still dissatisfied and refused to 20 10
work. The men are determined and say
they will hold out till the end. The
Calumet and Hecla men are in sympa
thy with the strikers aud it looks now
as If there might be great strike ol
1000 to 5000 men.
A Red Jacket dispatch says: "All the
miners at the Tamarack mine, over 900
in number, struck yesterday for eight
hours, in place Of ten, and an Increase o.

in the most enthusiastic terms Of the
wisdom of Lord Salisbury as shown in
the settlement with Germany OF the
African question. By the agreement
between the two countries, 100000
square miles OF territory were added to

of a dolorous TRADE against the Prime
