CENTRAL CITY, Col, Sept. 2.-The

William Prisk was rescued alive. Ten

is comparatively dry, but the water
having stopped ventilation, the gases
will kill them. Volunteers Friday
morning were trying to force their way

Talbot arrived Friday morning to
investigate the disaster, and said it
would be impossible to rescue any
more of the miners. The accident was
due to carelessness. The danger was
Known but neither of the mines where
the men lost their lives had pumping
apparatus. When the water rushed in
on them it dropped fully 10 feet per
second and the wretched men literally
sank out of sight.
As the Sleepy Hollow mine was al
ways dry, no pumping plant is estab-
Hshed there Efforts have been made to
lower the water with 50o-gallon
bucket, but this apparently has no
effect Cornish pumps will be put in,
but it will even then take sixty days to
drain the mines and get to the bodies
of the drowned miners. The water is
now 300 feet deep in the Sleepy Hol-
low shaft and is still rising, while it
has lowered in the Fisk over 100 feet.

Of 10000 people.
As the great body of knights moved
down Commonwealth avenue the spec
tacle was an inspiring one. The
music of 100 bands and the ap-
plause Of thousands Of people filed
the air; gayly bedecked horses praneed
