other gang of four men was set to work
preparing for the sinking of another blast.
They worked on it all day Friday and sue
ceeded in making hole about twenty six
feet into the hill.
Yesterday morning, before the 1000
pounds of powder was exploded the FORE
man, II. A. Howes, ordered the men work
ing in the hole to come to the surface un-
til the explosion was over. He did not
give orders to the men personally, but left
it to his Subordinates, and it is evident
that they either failed to notify the work
men or else the spark was applied 500 ner
than they anticipated.
The blast exploded with terrific force,
throwing great mass of rock and debris
directly in front of the drift, imprisoning
the men working inside and completely
preventing air from entering. For few
minutes it was not known that any one
ment of the explosion had subsided the
cries of the entombed men could be plainly
heard by those above.
AS large force of men as possible was
put to work removing the obstruction.
The cries of the men inside became gradu-
ally fainter and fainter as the workers out
side Iabored desperately to reach them be-
fore it was too late.
When the mouth OF the cave had been
uncovered the cries had ceased, and the
four men were found lying half way down
the drift, where they had crawled II their
last efforts to escape. They were quickly
brought to the surface, and two Of them,
Spellman and OMalley, were found to be
dead. The other two, Donovan and Link,
although they had escaped from the awful
death which had overtaken their fellow
workmen, were unconscious from the
effects of the fumes of the powder which
had seeDed through the creyices of the rock
Medical aid was hastily summoned, and
after vigorously working upon the uncon-
scious but more fortunate men they were
reSuScitated.
1t was many hours before the two men
fully recovered, the doctors recommend
ing that the safest and surest remedy was
to let them sleep away the effects of the
poisonous gases.
at present 1t is impossible to ascertain
where the blame rests. 1t is possible,
however, that the workman apprlsed the
men as ordered. but they probably did not
think there was any danger, their distance
being so great from the explosion. The
only reasonable explanation that can be
given as to how the drift became SO sud-
denly filled with gas is that there must be
a seamy layer of rock between the two
shafts and that it was cracked by the force
OF the explosion, thereby allowing pas
sage for the gases.
Coroner hawkins was notified imme-
dlately after 1t had been ascertained that
Spellman and O'Malley were dead, and
Deputy Coroner O'Brien was sent to take
charge OF the remains. Both dead men
were miners by occupation. Spellman
was 45 years of age and O'Malley So.
Deputy Coroner O'Brien is making an
effort to ascertain if they have any rela-
tiyes in this country.

To RUSH THE FUNDING BILL IN CONGRESS,

the Buckley primary of January comes off.
This getting in just ahead of the Buckley
ties is the policy OF the Junta. When the
regular general committee was called for
Friday night a week ago the "side" COM
mittee was hustled together on Thursday
night. The Buckley enrolment was set
for December and the Junta enrolment
was set just ahead of it.
One of tho understandings reached is that
at the coming primary all or nearly all of
the members of the present new general
committee will he returned to the succeed
ing permanent one. This serves to hold
the members of the present committee
loyal to the programme, and then this is
necessary in the cases of the seeding MEM
bers of the old committee who have not
yet been won over to the Buckley camp in
order to carry out the contract made when
the fight started to put in the new COM
mittee all members who stood by the reor-
ganiZerS.
I'VE are going right ahead as the regu-
lar local Democratic organization, and our
body will undoubtedly be ultimately estab-
lished and recognized as SUCH" said w.
P. Sullivan, chairman OF the Junta's gen.
eral committee, last night.
I'VE are utterly disregarding Buckley
and his committee, and a compromise is
out of the question. Our motive is clean
politics and competent and honest bus-
ness administration of municipal affairs.
When this committee is recognized as the
regular one, as it will be, there will be such
a small following on the ether side that it
will not even amount to faction. When
we are recognized by the State Central
Committee they will have no chance to get
on the ballot as the Democratic party, but

ENROLLING CANvASSERS,
The Junta Adopts a New Method
to Get a Big Primary En-.
rollment.
The Anti.Buckley Campaign Ap.
proaches Another Season of
Clash and Noise.

The Junta has introduced an innovation
into the method by which it proposes to
make its primary election for new general
committee as big a success as it can.
The enrolment into district clubs next
Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings
of those who will be entitled to vote at the
primary is the chief thing now in hand,
and it is very important to the Rainey-
DaggettMcNab faction to secure a big
enrolment and consequently big show of
strength. Rolls will be opened IN two or
three places in each district on the even
ings mentioned, but to secure a large
showing of names the primary committee
has decided that blank rolls shall be sup
piled to all the 450 mbers of the new
general committee and to other active anti
Buckleyites, who will make energetic in
dividual canvasses for names among their
friends or anywhere else. The names will
be accepted as they are turned in, and it is
thought that there will be very creditable
showing of nti-Buckleyites. The only
time that anything like this method of en-
rollment has been used here before was in
1892, when the Democratic reorganizers
sent out postal-cards requesting the re-
cipient to return it signed If he wanted TO
be enrolled.
The Buckley people are busily getting
ready for their enrolment, which will
begin December 8, and it is nearly time for
the surfing of rolls and the big and clash
ing stories about it to begin on both sides.
The Junta has been talking very indef-
nitely about when its primary will be held
and no definite preparations for it beside
the announcement have been ordered. 1t
is learned that the plan now is to rush the
primary right through and hold it before

THE EYE.
Beautiful and Pure in Woman, Strong
and Penetrating in Man.

Every man who loves the beautiful has at
some time OF his life looked deep into wo-
mans eye and remarked its purity and lowell
ness. One OF the fine charms of woman is the
eye; one OF the strong points of man is the eye.
Now all students of anatomy have been inn
pressed with the Importance of the eye, and all
will admit it is one of the most delicate, i'm
portant and structuredly remarkable organs Of
the body. That the eye is sure indicator of
health or sickness is SO true as to admit of no
contradiction. He who has a bleary eye-an
eye lacking luster, an eye which is fearful to
meet the focus OF a strong, healthy man, GER
tainly is in pitiful condition. He at once
tells you that he is sick. perhaps has passed q
restless, tossing night. Sometimes this cond-
tion is the direct result of the excessive use of
tobacco or some narcotic or other stimulant
Be the cause what it may, this sad condition
can be easily removed by the use of natures

written of the remarkable giving proper
ties OF this nerve-producing remedy that the
ordinary newspaper readers know its power

any ticket they put up will have to be
placed there as an independent one. There
appears TO be no question of our recogni-
ton by the State Central Committee.
That body has always been anti-Buckley,
and we have assurances that the present
oneis
"We expect to secure a fair enrolment
for our primary and will make special
effort to have the decent voters in the
thugs and thieves. Everything in the
situation is encouraging to US. We are
the legal body for one thing, and then
there Is the vast mum Der OF decent Demo-
Gratis who are constantly assuring US of
their support when the time comes. The
lines are being sharply drawn between
Buckleyism and anti ti-Buckleyism and a
majority of the party will be with us to
crush Buckley. There are also with US
majority of the party workers who remem-
ber Buckley's treachery and believe Buck
ley was on the payroll of the last Republi-
can State Central Committee up to the day
OF the election"
Mcguire and his course in upholding the
regularity of the old organic alton and ap-
proving primary under its auspices has
engendered much hostility among the
nti-Buckleyites. Last night Chairman
Sullivan said that he would like to deny
the statement that during the time that
Mcguire was trying to bring the factions
| together he submitted to some of the Junta
people his list of TWENTY-FIVE prominent
Democrats to take charge of primary.

| the Junta's primary committee. 81 have
tried to find any of our people who con-
ferred with Mr.. Mcguire at all or saw that
list and haven't heard of any" said Mr..
Sullivan.

LEFT THEIR LODGINGS.
Sudden Flight of the Baron and Baron ess

Landlady.

GottliebsOn From an Unpaid
Land1ady.
Baron and Baroness Gottliebson have
mysteriously disappeared from their lodg-
ings at 92S Mission street.
1t will be remembered that the Baroness,
who claimed relationship with the family
OF the late Governor Pho Pico. caused
much amusement few days ago by
swearing out warrant to search the
premises at 107 Hayes street for the bones
of brother long since dead, her quest
being based on the advice of a medium.
While the police authorities took the
matter with many grains of allowance. yet
since Mrs. Gottliebson had sworn to the
complaint, they made forced march on
the alleged haunted residence, but they
found neither ghost nor bones.
Since then the Gottliebsons have disap-
peared and the landlady at 928 Mission
street is wondering what manner of spirit
it was that assisted them in their going.
She says that they can gave the magician
Hermann pointers on how to spirit trunks
and other baggage away.
'They gave me a great deal OF annoy
ance," said Mrs. TAFT, the landlady, yes

Mrs. Gottliebson intimated to me that she
intended changing her lodgings, but did
not think she would skip out without pay

''She acted very strangely, did Mrs.
Gottliebson. Why, she was only here two
weeks when she began running to card
readers. mediums and spiritualists until
she thought OF nothing else. / knew
nothing about them before coming here.
Mrs. Gottliebson said she belonged to the
Pico family and showed me deeds to some
land in Mexico bearing the name of Pico.
