rescuing parties started into the This
tie and Fraterville mine entrances as
soon as possible after the explosion.
The Thistle party was unable to make
any headway whatever, as gas stified
the men almost as soon as they en-
tered the shaft. The Fraterville party
went as far as the parting of the
ways" into the mine. where heavy
fall of slate was encountered. This cut
off further progress until the slate Is
removed. Intense heat indicates the
mine is on fire. At IL o'clock there Is

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Miner Hit With Bar Of Iron and
Thrown Into Shaft.
HOW 1T OCCURRED.

Few men have passed through an ex-
perience similar to that of Fred Haas,
of Graham county, Ariz., and lived to
tell the tale, says the Bisbee Review.
His story reads like a romance con-
tanned in a novel with yellow cover.
To the Review he told the following
story to which his friends testify:
II was sinking a shaft near Fort
Thomas, and went to the town to get
a piece of iron to make spoon to
clean drilled holes.
while in a saloon | was told that
might be able to get the iron by going
to an old mine. While in the saloon
three men were standing near and
heard what was told me.
''The next morning I went to the
shaft and entered a blacksmith shop
near by. | saw piece of iron on q
shelf, and was reaching for it, when
was struck over the head with blunt
instrument.
Then everything became black, and
do not emember anything until
came to at the bottom of an old shaft.
was in a sitting position, leaning
against the wall.
"Those who struck me must have

into it. | landed on my hips on pile
of soft mud, which is all that saved
my life.
when / regained my senses | look
ed around and found an old candle in
box l kindled fire, and the smoke
issuing from the top of the shaft at
tracted the attention OF two miners
with whom | had been working.
"They saw the smoke while search
ing for me, and coming to the shaft
called to see If / were there. | an
swered and they lowered rope. This
tied around my body and was pulled
out
II asked what time 1t was and wher
told. was surprised to find that l hat
been in the hole about thirty hours
without food or water.
Il do not know what prompted any
one to make such an assault on me
They certainly intended that theil
work should be complete, and thought
when they threw me down that shaft
that it would be the last of me-"
II was reported in Bisbee that Haa:
had been killed, and while in the city
he has been the recipient of congratu
latiOnS.
