darkness and daylight. 1t is the result;
of bad ventilation, and rarely indeed
has a man been known TO remain with
in its influence for any great length OF
time and escape with his life. The
miners resolved to make an effort to
rescue their unfortunate fellow, and
after penetrating the mine quarter OF
q mile, found their companion prone
upon the floor of the passage, and APP
parently lifeless. With great difficulty
they carried him TO the mine proper,
and then up the shaft to the surface,
during which time he remained uncon-
scious. Finally the old miner who had
discovered the white damp remem-
bered that he had been told that the
remedy for persons suffering from the
effects thereof was to bury them up to
their necks in earth.
A hole was soon dug, and the unfor-
tunate miner, with no more clothing on
than when he first entered the world
was placed in an erect position therein
and earth loosely packed about him
he was permitted to remain for nearly
four hours. At the end of half an hour
he regained consciousness, and recog-
nized those about him.
He had, he said, penetrated fully three
miles into the passage before the
drowsiness became so noticeable that
he felt it was unnatural. He tried to
throw it off, but, to his horror, it
seemed like the tentacles of gigantic
octopus slowly closing in upon him.
AS rapidly as possible he retraced his
footsteps, running as much as the sur
face of the passage would permit, until
at last he fell in stupor.
He remembered lying on the ground
for a moment, and then all conscious
ness left him. How long he had laid
there before he was found no one
knows, but it was probably not longer
than few moments. But the strangest
feature of the affair was that the
dreams OF the miner were something
far beyond that which are vouchsafed
to the user of either hasheesh or opium.
Visions of unspeakable beauty came to
him. He seemed to be in elysium.
The world was peopled by beings such
as intoxicated one to look upon. Life
seemed too blissful for realization.
It seemed to be all and more than
Heaven has ever been imagined.
And then suddenly, he said, all the
devils in hades seemed to at once as
sault him. So great was the torture
that he cried out and then, opening his
eyes, discovered that he was in the real
world once more, and that the tortures
were the fearful aching of bones and
joints that always follow such an ex-
perience with the white damp.

THE TURNER'S GRIP.

A member of the San Antonio Bowl
ing league writes as follows on the
Turner'S victory Wednesday night:
1.-THE Turner's have fastened tight
err grip on second place, from which
they cannot be pulled down. The
best their nearest opponents, the Mis-
sions can do is to tie them, and this
can only be accomplished by the Mis-.
sions winning all their last four games
and the Turner's losing the last two
on their home alley, which is hardly
probable. Capt. Fues and his Turn,
ers did not have an easy thing and the
Alamos made them roll high both
games to defeat them"

TERRIBLE WHITE DAMP.
Experience Of One Who Fell Vic
tim to It's Awful Clutches.
Haunted by Dreams and visions in
"A Deserted Montana Mine-Rcs-
cued and Buried While
Still Alive.

There has come to Butte, through
Deputy Mine Inspector Frank Hunter,
the story of one of the most remark
able experiences that ever fell to the
lot of miner. 1t happened in one of
the abandoned mines of Sand Coulee
1t draws attention to q new terror of
the mines which is called white damp"
The following story is told largely as
dictated by Mr.. Hunter himself to a
Cincinnati Enquirer correspondent, and
it reveals facts that form as unusual an
experience as was ever related by the
most imaginative novelist. There are
situated at Sand Coulee a number of
mines which were worked by the earlier
delivers in the earth and then aban-
doned. Very recently one of the miners,
big, broad-shouldered, fearless chap,
announced his intention of exploring
the long and mysterious passage.
Equipping himself with lights and i'm
plements, he started in early one morn
ing, several of his mates accompanying
him perhaps quarter of mile into the
mysterious passage. He told his COM
panions that he would go ahead for
awhile and for them, to meet him at the
mouth of the passage in two or three
hours.
This they agreed to do, and they sep
arated. AS they were retracing their
steps, and before they had got fairly
to the current of fresh air that all the
time pulled into the passage, they be
gan to feel drowsy, and it was noticed
that smoke from the pipe of one of the
men sought the walls of the passage,
where it hung with an undulating move
ment like a spray of weeds under run.
ming water. Closer examination of the
walls revealed the fact that they seemed
to be sparkling with what looked like
dew, but which one of the old-timers
in the party declared with exclama-
tons of horror to be that rarity known
as white damp.
This should not be COMPOUNDED with
fire damp, as the two are as different as
