Thought That an Explosion
Caused The Fire
no RESCUE MADE As YET
Twenty Who Vent Down to SaYe Men
Probably Have Sacrificed Their
Lives in Attempt

Port Royal Pa, June 1.-THE Pitts.
burg Coal and Coke companys shaft
No at this place is again on fire. af
ter steady running for seven years, and
over 80 men in the mine, many of
whom It is feared will never be heard
from again.
The names of those known to be en-
tombed cannot be learned, but the fol
lowing are known to be in the burning
mine: Jock Peoples. married. Tony
Stickles. married; Frank Davenport,
married; John DAILY, William McCune,
superintendent of the district, home at
West Newton; Dennis Wortley, pit
boss Of the mine; Michael Roy, fore.
man of the Euclid mines, and about 80
other miners.
About 6 o'clock smoke was seen to
be issuing from shaft No. 3. which is on
the line of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
railroad. 1t is thought the fire started
from an explosion, and that six men
were in the mine at the time of the ex-
plosion-Jock Peoples. Tony Stickles,
Frank Davenport, John Daily, Law
renee Settler and John Stakes Stakes
and Settler were not near the place in
which the explosion occurred, and on
the arrival of a rescue party they were
quickly brought to the surface. after
being nearly overcome by afterdamp.
They could give no information as to
what had caused the fire and told the
rescue party that four other men were
entombed.
About o'clock Superintendent Will
lam McCune, of West Newton, general
superintendent of this district; Dennis
Wortley. pit boss of the mine; Michael
Roy, foreman Of the Euclid mines, and
several other bosses, with about 20
men, went down shaft No 1, which is
just opposite, on the Baltimore and
Ohio side of the river and have not
been heard from since. About three
hours after the rescue party had been
in the mine two more explosions we're
heard. Meantime the crowd around
the opening of the shaft had increased,
the crowd including many mothers.
wives and sisters of the men entombed.
All sorts of plans have been suggested
for the rescue of the men. Some talk
of turning the river into the mines, but
many are opposed to this idea for fear
Of drowning the miners. All that would
be necessary to let the daluge of water
loose in the mines would be to pull a
plug which was placed in the mines af-
ter the explosion Of seven years ago,
and the water would rush in the mines
at rapid rate.
DAILY one of the men known to be In
the burning mine. went in for the first
time yesterday morning, and it is not
known who he is or where he is from.
At IL o'clock last night four men vol
unteered to go down shaft No. and
and one man down No. /, but up to
this time it is not known whether they
have succeeded in making any rescue.
Gas and smoke are issuing from the
mines, and over 200 men, women and
children are waiting for some news of
relatives. Doctors have been called
and assistance is being offered on ev-
cry side.

Chas. Stats, who recently
skipped out of Polk county, after
selling James Lewis 325 head of
sheep, on which the Polk Coun-
ty Bank, of Monmouth, held a
ehattle mortgage, was soverhauled
recently in the state of Wasti4g-

account with the bank. Of

On the, sheep had been paid the
bank no longer had a claim on
them and Mr.. Lewis was notified
that he could have the sheep
without any further delay.
Sheriff Burnett notified the bank
people that they should deliver
the sheep back in this city.
This request they willingly com.
piled with and the animals were
delivered in Corvallis Thursday
night. A few sheep were mis.

the twenty acres would bring
Mr.. Wilkinson the neat little
sum of 81, ,rr8. Half of this
amount will easily pay all cests
of cutting, curing, shipment,
etc., and leaves over $500 to the
producer.
Mr.. Williamson says tl1atin-
mediately on the arrival of the
hay in Portland, it will be re-
oaled for shipment to the Philip
pines. He is convinced from
what he saw while in Portland
that the trade in the Philippines
is going to be OF iuestimable
benefit to the Pacific Coast. Be-
yond doubt Mr.. Wilkinson is
right in this matter, for, from
now on, each year will see i'm
proved trade relations between
this country and the Orient, aad
the Pacific Coast will be most
largely benefited, because closer
to the new-feund market.
