The Time of His Release Extended From
Midnight Until This Morning
The Rescuers Are Within Touching Distance of the
Prisoner But Are Taking No Risks Which MAY
Result In Ruin.

Bakersfield. Dec. 20-Hicks will be
taken from mis- mountain prison before
midnight. IL the calculation of the res
cuers do not fail. Many unexpected
delays have served to make the public
suspicious of any such rescue. but the
miners boring into the hill are talking
to the man over and under an ore car
The only problem is to dig out a hole
broad enough to drag him out. They
are flying at the task with a final
burst Of enthusiasm and each sue
ceeding report from the mountain les
sens the time it will take to consum-
mate the rescue.
The shaft has been deserted and ev-
erybOdy is gathering at the drift, ex-
pecting any moment to hear the glad
shout from within which will declare
the completion of the task. An impro-
vised hospital has been set up in the
tunnel and warm wafer to battle the
face of Hicks, and. blankets to protect
him from the chill and pieces of to-
baccO for which he has been longing
for two days have been provided.
The watchers are excited and their
nerves on edge for the crucial moment.
All Bakersfield is awake TO receive the
news of the release. and enthusiasts
have arranged to fire off cannon. The
ringing Of fire bells will proclaim the
end Of the long delayed rescue.

DULUTH GETS NEW ROAD
CANADIAN NORTHERN LIKELY TO
EXTEND LINEs FROM GUNFLINT
TO HEAD OF LAKES.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Port Arthur, Ont, Sept. 1.-The
Canadian Northern road has begun prep
arations for the extension Of it's line
from this point to Duluth. It long has
been known that ultimately the Cana
dian Northern would seek an entrance
into Duluth, but heretofore it has been
the superstition that the head Of the
lakes would be reached by an extension
of the Port Arthur, Duluth & Western,
to a connection with the Duluth & Iron
Range road at Ely, a distance Of forty
miles. -,.... ...= ~ sz.21. ss.s.*.s,, Z.
A hitch Of some sort caused an aban-
donment Of the plan and resulted in a
decision to build a new line from this
point to Duluth. The route is said to
be from the present terminus at: Gun
flint, thru Cook and Lake counties to
Duluth. This will give these counties
railroad facilities which at present are
lacking, and possibly will tend to pro-
mote the development Of vast tracts of
iron ore, which are known to exist in
) A survey from Gunfint to Highland,
on the Duluth & Iron Range road, was
made last fall. = There is a possibility
that the Canadian Northern may enter
into an arrangement with the Duluth &
Northern Minnesota, which now is
uilding it's line north toward Gunfint.
1t present it, is only logging road, but
the roadbed is said to be in excellent
condition and easily could be used for
the traffic Of the Canadian Northern.
