MINERS AWFUL PLIGHT,
Angeles-They May Have
Struck Water.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 11.-SiA
miners entombed at the Edison Electric
company's works in the Kern river can
yon Friday morning by the cavern Of
the shaft which they were working, were
alive at II o'clock Monday morning. AL
old miner. G. e. Moore, states positively
that at II o'clock in the morning signals
of the miners code were transferred
over the steel rails of the tramway.
Saving the lives of the unfortunates.
If they are not dead already, is next to
impossible. Three rescue parties have
been at work since Friday, with little
or no progress.
Blasting the second bulwark and al
lowing the men and rock to pass dow"
the shaft and pipe together to the power
house below is the only means of rescue.
Moore states that despite the pleading of
the miners and workmen the Edison
company will not issue orders to blast.
Moore believes that the entombed men
have broken one of the water pipes
running down the shaft and are keep
ing alive by drinking water
