landing stage and the three men IN
the tipple were hurled TO the ground.
A mule was thrown high above the
shaft. and fell dead on the ground.
The injured men in the tipple were
brought at once to this city, where
Henry Mayhem, a check w%eighman,
and George Mailman a tippleman,
died. The rumble of the explosion
and the crash at the pit mouth startled
the little village and the wives and
children of the men below rushed to
the scene of the disaster but found lit
tie encouragement. There was no
way to get into the deep workings.
The cages that let the men into the
mines and brought them out again
when the days work was done were
demolished,
All day long there was a jam of
waiting women and children about the
mouth of the pit.
There were calls for assistance and
for surgical aid from the men in
charge of the mine but it was not I'M
til 4 o'clock in the afternoon that the
first attempt at rescue was made
This was a failure as the two men
who volunteered were driven back by
the foul air.
Shortly after 5 o'clock Selwyn NJ.
Taylor, a mine expert, and one of his
assistants signaled for the engineer to
lower them into the shaft. Taylor is
still down there. Three times efforts
have been made to reach him, but so
far without avail.
Thomas Wood, one of the first of
the rescue party hauled to the surface
told this story of his trip through the
mine:
81 vas with Taylor and we clam
bered over three or four falls. Taylor
laid out the mine and seemed to know
the way. There was one man alive at
the foot of the shaft. He was sent up
and then we took the mule path to
the south level. We saw two men who
were alive and notified those who were
back of us and then went on. We
passed the third, four and fifth head
ing and then through an overdrift into
the airshaft. | began to feel dizzy
and sick and then I saw Taylor stag
ger and fall. His lantern fell. We
, tried to lift him up but could not car
ry him up and ! made my way to
l safety"

TOR OF thel4th district, reached Har.

Snow and Ice clogged Fire Engines.

Pottsville, Pa, Jan. 25.~Whilem many
families were being drowned out at
Gilbarton by the high water from the
floods, a fire started from an over
heated stove, and burned a block of

being rendered homeless. The fire
companies were unable to use the
food water, because the snow and ice
clogged their steamers.

and Passenger Coach Go
Into a stream-No One Killed.
Philadelphia, Jan. Pa passenger
train on the Newark and Pomeroy
railroad plunged through a trestle
over the White Clay creek, two miles
from Avondale Friday night, the tres
tie having been weakened by the flood.
The locomotive and a passenger coach
plunged into the water.
When the engine fell the engineer,
Clarke Paxon, and the conductor.
Amos Osborne, both of Newark, Del.
leaped into the stream, and swan to
the opposite bank through the floating
ice.
Neither was injured with the excep-
ton of a few bruises. After the en-
CINE had fallen the passenger coach
dropped upon it, and this probably
saved the passengers from drowning.
All finally made their way to the bank
of the stream in safety.

so herolca'ly assisted in the rescue
Of those who were cut off by the
flood, 1t was the intention 10 publish

the plan, requested with u modesty
which Is n of the iittest accompan'
iments Of bravery that no mention of
their names be made. They said no
II who could do anything to help
the lmperlled had spared effort and
that any particular mention would be
inyldious, However, n number OF
friends Of the courageous mel Of
Watrous say that II Is only just that
public recognition should be made OF
the efforts of the individual members
OF the rescue party. At the risk,
then OF disregarding the wishes of the
men themselves the list rs given to

Ruin Of Lovely
%TranquiIIa Valley
Special to The Optic,

Special TO The Optic,
The Turquillo valley Is situated
about eight miles meth OF Mora, 1t
Is cigar-shaped-has an entrance at
both ends, is about eight miles long
and one mile wide, 1t is noted for
its beautiful meadows and fine crops
of wheat oats, barley and corn,
The valley Is set right in the mldft
of the great mountains ana has a
number of canyons entering il from
these mountains.
On the afternoon OF Sept. Goth
commenced the greatest storm the
valley has ever known, and the storm
continued for four days and nights,
increasing in It's wrath and down
pour Of water every hour,
The Canyon Caro- commenced
10 send its surplus water into the
valley on Sept. 9th, crossing the
Guadalupe road at the old Rohman
ranch and flowing down to the ranch
of Juan Leyba, whore it was met by
the waters from the many mountain
arroyos on the right of the valley.
These united and combined with the
great storm in the valley made a
royal stream, only to be increased
each hour until the night of the 2Sth
when a great flood swept the valley
from the Canyon Caro- 10 the little
ranch of Aragon, where it entered a
small canyon, swept around the
mountains and entered the Coyote
river, carrying with it large quaint
ties of hay and grain. The water
in places was over half a mile wide
and deep enough to cover great cocks
of hay, leaving only the crown of the
cocks to be seen.
All day of the Goth this rush Of
water kept up and the rain kept fall
ing and the morning Of the Goth saw
a great sea Of water covering thous-
ands of cocks of hay and grain and
great tracts of land covered with
water the grain and hay having been
carried into the Coyote river. The
loss to the ranchmen is no small
amount and Is about as follows:
grain.
Juan Leyba. $50 in hay.
Juan Apodaca, 1925 in hay and
Gregeorio Herrera, s25 in hay and
grain.
A. b. Sager, 5000 in oats.
Judge Gabino Rivera, $500 in hay
and grain.
Antonio Martin 500 in hay.
Matias Martin, 80 in hay.
Further up the valley a lake of
about 500 acres was formed, the wat
er finding no exit; there it will re-
main for many weeks. But the loss
to crops was not all, for great damage
al done 10 the meadows and fields
which will require large amounts of
money and labor to place in good
condition again.
