RESCUERS DRIVEN BACK.
FruitIess Attempts TO Reach the I'M
prisOned Men at Calumet

FruitIess Attempts TO Reach the I'M
prisOned Men at Calumet.
Calumet, Mich, Sept. 9-Ten miners
went down the southernmost shaft of
the Osceola mine this morning. The men
were especially selected from among the
fearless and experienced workmen, ha-
bituaed to breathing smoke and foul air
The party descended in the skip, or
iron car, used in bringing up rock from
the mine to the Twenty-fourth level and
managed to press north on that level to
within 250 feet of the shaft next south of
the burning one At that point two of
the party were overcome by the gas and
to save additional victims to the already
long list, the relief expedition turned
back.
In No l shaft at the other end of the
mine a similar attempt was made by
carefully organized party, similar to the
first, but at the depth of only 2S0 feet the
shaft smoke was met in such volume that
it was foolhardy to descend further and
the miners quickly came to the surface.
The experience of the rescuing parties
in shafts No. 1 and No. 5, where the
smoke would naturally be met with In
the greatest quantities, renders it GER
tain that the entire mine is now fired
with it and cuts off the last hope that
preserve them lives Rescuing parties
will be sent down as frequently as pos
sible to test the condition. 1t Will proba-
bly, be several days before the mine will
be clear of smoke, even If the fire has
gone out, which is quite doubtful tt is
now positively known that twentynine
men and boys were caught in the mine.
Nineteen of them were married.
Houghton, Mich, Sept. 9.-Twenty
women are widows and fifty children ia
therless by the disaster in the Osceola
mines. Most pitiful scenes are being
hourly witnessed in the vicinity of the
shafts that have not yet been sealed,
bereaved women and children clinging
TO the spot in the desperate hope that
some loved form may yet emerge from
the opening.
There were many to-day who censured
Supt ParneIl who has general control
of the Clark-Bigelow mines, because he
ordered No. 3 shaft, in which the fire
started, to be Theoretically sealed.
Finally he felt compelled to make state
ment and he accordingly addressed
large gathering and explained that
leaving this shaft open would only give
the fire more headway without in any
way benefitting the imprisoned men.
Michael Johnson lost mis- life by going
down into the mine after Capt. Edwards,
whom he supposed u be in the vicinity
of the fire In fact, the fire was discover
ed by Edwards, and he went to the sur
face to get hose to extinguish the flames.
Cant. Edwards is almost heart-brolken on
Johnson's account. The actual damage
70 the mine cannot be heavy If the fire
is smothered before it reaches other
shafts.
