CANAL OFFICERS
 NAMED BY BOARD
James p. Ivy Named As President of The APpropriators-Dire In- sPeeted Property Yesterday.

The newly elected board of directors of the Appropriators' Canal company, is now fully organized with J. P. Ivy as president, Charles Goldman vice president, Emil Gang secretary. and Hosea Greenhaw Jr. treasurer. Yes terday, the board spent the day in driving up and down the canal inspect ing the property thoroughly that they might be informed as to physical con ditions.
 The chief matter the board has to face is the question of the corporation indebtedness. which is somewhere in the neighbOrhoOd of $35, ,00O. The Ma tionaI Bank of Arizona and Mir Gold they will very naturally deal in the most conservative manner possible for the protection of both themselves and the corporation. There seems at pres ent to pc but one financial resource. and that is the sale of water. They de- sire as many stockholders as can. to buy and pay for water at once. thus beginning the reduction of the debt Later, other plans may be developed, but the board is confident that. though the situation is somewhat embarrass- ing, it will be able to handle it satis- factOrily.
 The project of selling the property to the government will be kept in mind, and if it is possible to make a deal with the government on a satisfactory basis the management is very desirous of doing so.

By daylight, signals mad been exchanged with the bottom seam. where majority of the men were ehtombed, to the effect that they were safe. and with this message came a sense or great relief
 As the morning advanced the bodies of the dead men were slowly brought up. The first dead to appear were mostly old men, who had been em- ployed as shifters and stonemen. Eighty men were brought out alive. Many of these. however. were in a critical condition. being unconscious.
 Later. supplies of coffee and sand wiches we're passed in to those still entOmbed. At a late hour tonight. to the joy of their relatives, four men were brought up from the lower seam, where the deaths had occurred. These men had been reckoned among the dead. Although they were much eX- hausted. they probably will recover The shaft is still blocked with wreck age. but the ventilation is good, and it is hoped that aII-the entombed men will be rescued during the night.
