pouring into the city, but that the Sit

The revOlutionists hold sections of
the MoscowKazan road. Desultory
firing is taking place. The military
patrols are engaged in guerilla warfare
with the revolutionists who are seek
ing refuge on the roofs of houses and
in the narrow thoroughfares.
Another message from Moscow says
that during the night the artillery
worked at destroying the barricades.
The revoludonists, this message says,
are divided into three armies; the
first, consisting of 800 men armed with
rifles and pixies, is operating between
Moscow and PerOvO, using the railroad
which it controls. Artillery and cav
talry are being employed against this
VOrce. The second ''army" is armed

leys and houses Artillery, cavalry
and infantry are used against this
body The third and largest army is
operating in the region between the
Brest railroad station and the trium-
phal gate. 1t also has many barr1-
cades and is engaged in guerilla tao
tics making it difficult for the troops
to enclose it. Some of the barrieades
were battered down by artillery but
they were re-erected by the survivors.
The school where the Moscow revl-
lutiOnary committee held its sessions
has been destroyed, but the committee
managed to escape. The engineers
union here has just received news from
revolutionary sources at Moscow that
the ROstOff regiment has joined the

List of Casualties Swelling.

Moscow, December 27.-3 p. m-The
cannonading continues and the list of
casualties is swelling. The revolution
lists are operating in three sections.
There are about 1, 900 of them in each
section They are all armed with re-
volvers and rifles. The women who
are participating i'll the fighting are
guilty of the worst of cruelties.

DARING FEAT
In ENGINEERING
SHAFT OF THE SPRUCE RAISED

Grounds Avoided, and Mine Work
Undisturbed.

+ Eveleth, Mimi. Feb. 14--An interesting en-
gtneeringl feat has been accomplished at the
Spruce mine, owned by the United States steel
corporation Three years ago plans were laid
for extending No. 1 shaft in such a way as
not to Interfere with the operation of the mine.
1t was decided to raise the shaft instead of
sinking It,, = 8. =. =
The problem was attacked by sinking No. 8
shaft, thru which little ore is hoisted, to the
depth desired for No. shaft, then to drive a
shaft on an incline Of II degrees and connect
with the existing bottom of No. 1, then in the
neighborhood of 175 feet: below the surface
The last part of this work involved rock
upraise Of eighty feet, but by this method the
intervening ground, ore and rock would be
drained Of much Of the water they contained.
and opening operations to be carried on at the
third level Of No., would be less expensive,
as operations in wet ground are costly 1t was
chiefly for this reason that the work was started
from No. 3. D. :. - TIC.
On July 6. 1904 after driving 600 feet thru
practically untouched ore body and 300 feet
thru rock the point under No. 1 was reached
from which the raise could be made at the
original inclination Of the shaft. Raising the

hole was put up into the bottom of the ladder

sured.
five feet below the floor Of the second level OF
No. /, where a station and pocket were cut IN
the rock. A rock pentis was left sufficient to
protect the men below from any acc1oeht' sucn
a. the breaking Of the cable and the descent
of the ship. 49,
JAN 49,, the work Of removing the rock pentls
was resumed and the shaft timber has since
been wholly connected. 70 It was found that the
difference in alignment between the old section
and the new was only three-tenths OF an 1nch
proof OF the remarkable accuracy OF the SUI
vey, AS this difference could easily have oc-
cured from the blasting, the entire work may
be- considered perfect from an engineering stand
point s#~'i. .,,o,u
The work was necessarily slow and tedious
both on account of the extreme hardness OF the
rock encountered and the way in which 1t broke
out in large masses. Only two miners were
emnloyed and none but small charges used.
The rock had to be broken down on tagging
platform and then reduced in size SO that when
it dropped to the bottom the timDers Woula
not be broken The job was finally completed
without breaking any timbers and with mini
mum amount Of distortion. .."'

WHAT THE MINISTER SAYS

Pyramid Pile Cure has done for me. [
had a most aggravated case of bleeding
piles; indeed, I dreaded when I had to
go to stool; One fifty cent box cured
me. l feel like new man. I have rec
commended it to others as being the
most wonderful remedy known. It is,
indeed, great blessing to suffering hui
manity. You are at liberty to use this
for all it is worth, and hope it may do
good.' Rev. w. E. Carr, $50 No. HoI-
brook St., Danville, Va.
Clergymen Qike all professional men
who lead sedentary Eves) are especially
addicted to piles, in various forms, and
are continually on the lookout for a rem
edy which will give relief, with little or
no idea of obtaining a cure.
Recognizing this fact, Rev. Mr.. Carr
consents to the use Of his name in order
that other sufferers may know there is
a cure called Pyramid Pile Cure, which
Is sold by druggists everywhere for the
low price Of fifty cents a package, and
which will bring about for everyone
afflicted with piles, the same beneficial
results as in his own case. Be careful to
accept no substitutes, and remember
that there is no remedy "just as good. -
A little book describing the causes
and cure of piles is published by Pyra-
mid Drug Co.. Marshall, Mich, and will
be sent free for the asking. All suffer
ers are advised to write for it, as it
contains valuable information on the
subject Of piles.
