The first welcome sound reaching their
ears was the ''piunk" of the pump. The

cuers reached them at o'clock this morn

miners was accomplished by George Bender.
VINO, when he found his progress stopped
by low. timbers, dipped hisraft under them,

SCARED THEM OUT.

Sharpers Leave Denver on Account of
an Item From Minneapolis.
DENVER, Feb. 1O.-The firm OF w. H.
Meade & Co., who had an office here for
about three weeks, very suddenly disap-
peared Saturday, and have not been heard
from since.
Their departure was probably prompted
by the publication here on the 9TH OF Min
neapolis Item giving an account of the ar
rest there of a firm fraudulently dealing in
timber land by which the purchasers were
defrauded of their money.
The Meade firm claims to be the agents
Of the Michigan d Marine Lumber and
Milling company. Their plan was similar
to the Minneapolis firm: and they required
the suckers" to deposit $25. After GER
tain length of time they were promised
$500, with which they were to go to Oregon
and prove up timber claim, the company
then agreeing to purchase the land at
$1,000.
There can be no doubt that the firm
did a rushing business here, as great
many besieged the deserted Offices to-day.

men in the Hayden mine disaster are all
dead and that most Of them drowned in
their chambers. The water on the pitch of

Even though they were not drowned, they
