the four men were missing, q

but owing 70 the gases could get
no further down than the fourth level,
The cage, however, was kept running

supposed TO be, but as they did not ap-
pear it is more than probable that all
are dead, although the men are above
the Gre and can get away from the
mouth of the shaft 6 distance Of zoo
feet into the level. Capt. Parnall says
it is possible the men may be rescued
alive, as compressed air is being con-
