Interestingly ChrOnicled.

The bodies OF William Thomaszk oski
and his son, who met their death in the
catastrophe in the North Tamarack
mine, we're recovered at noon today after
several hours hard work on the part oil
the miners and the mining captains.
The bodies were found in a cross-cut al
the 18th level at the bottom of the mine,
How long they renamed there or how
they got there can only be a matter oil
speculation.
Last evening a party was organized
and went down as far as the 9TH level
about half past four o'clock. They
searched the mine 10 this vicinity. but
could find nothing of the men aud could
not go further down the shaft. At 10
O'Clock another attempt was made and
the party succeeded in reaching the bot
tom OF the shaft, but nothing was seen
of either OF the men.
At midnight another attempt TO go
rewarded by finding the men, cold in
death. The men we're in bad place and
it was almost impossible with the help
present to recover the bodies then,
so they decided to come to surface and
organize large force OF miners. Early
this morning very large party went
down, but it was noon before they could
get the bodies out. They had to carry
the bodies up through the Wine TO the
cross-cut and thence TO the shaft.
Mine Inspector Hall has ordered an in
quest and the coroners jury will examine
into the cat this afternoon. A complete
report of THEN verdict and the testimony
will be published in tomorrow's paper.
The funeral of the two men will be held
tomorrow forenoon and Will be under the
auspices OF st. Stanislaus Kosk society,
of which both were members, Thefather
was sc years of age and leaves wife and
three children. The son was 16 years OF
age and only started to work in the mine
the day before the fire.
Peter (Johnsou) Lempea. the older of
the two rescued yesterday, is now in very
serious condili)n, pneumonia having
set in in both lungs. His condition has
greatly improved since last night.

his Journey. He trusts that if my father
cannot do this he will make some other
arrangement. The contributor thinks OF
going by Rouen, Caen, Bayeux, st. Mi
