The relief workers had to move
hundreds of tons of ore, rock and
earth to reach the spot where the
unfortunates were located. 1t was
known after the discovery of Hicks
that his companions were dead, for
the stencil from the decomposing
bodies was terrible.
BY the light Of one of four match
es that Hicks had he declared he
saw the foot of a man sticking
through the earth above his head.

or thought he saw, the shoe of the
dead man while one of his four
matches were burning"

''but l can't reach it, and all my
matches are gone"

said the miner above. I'LL jump
down this pipe and give you a good

That was the manner in which
they buoyed up Hicks until they
reached him.

Hicks was finally rescued. The al

BY FRED J. HEWITT.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2G...-Big
Jim Jeffries will climb through the
ropes again to fight. His "Adellne
Patti" engagement is almost GER
tain to take place in Nevada in the
early spring.
James j. declares that 1t is the
glimmer of big lunches Of gold that

game But is It? Hardly.
Jeffres IS a sensitive Gus. He
will not stand anything from a
fighter in the heavyweight class
that he CONSTITUTES into knock.
True. the money has something
to do with Jeff's re-entering the
ring. but there Is another reason
the real reason.
Throughout the battle between
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and
Tommy Burns the latter kept say
Ding nasty things to jeff about his
ability as a ring arbiter.
After jeff had delivered his de-
cision of the battle, calling 1t a
draw, Burns approached the retired
champion and said
4 s--"Why, you great big dub, who
ever told you you could referee
The people who said so were string
ing you. You're has-been as a
fighter and a ham as a referee
Why don't you get next to your
self"
Those few words settled It.
jeff decided to get back into the
/, game IL 1t was only to punch the
daylights out Of Burns.
He refused to fight Jack Johnson
because he Ia a negro, and this de
spite the fact that in the early days
of his boxing apprenticeship he
hooked up with the coons on sew
eral occasions.
Tommy Burns met jeff on the
street the other day and the bis
fellow promised that maybe some
time he would give him match

When the relief parties set to
work they were under the impress
sion that all the men in the drift
had been killed. For three days
and night they labored contin-
uously. making but little progress.
They then heard Hicks tapping on
the railroad tracks and were sure
at least one man was alive. Then
it was that they drove in a steel
pipe so feet in length and tapped
the narrow quarters of Hicks.
Hicks talked to his rescuers
through this pipe and directed
their work. He was fed with milk
and other liquids driven through
the pipe. Papers We're read to
him, a photograph played him
sweet music and he was otherwise
entertained and encouraged to
hold out until the rescue could be
completed.
Hicks did so. Towards the end.
however, he became irrational, and
it was feared that his mind was
giving away. He braved it out,
however, and is now resting COM
fortably in the hospital of the Edi-
son Electric Co., where his physi-
clans believe that he will ultimate
ly recover entirely.
The miners were at work at a
point about 70 feet from the mouth
of the shaft when the slide struck

Miss Vivian Dinnie is at Fargo and
will remain to see the state fair.
Mrs. John Nelson, nee Elliott, has ar
rived form Minot and will visit her
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. William Elliott,
for few days.
A wedding of interest on Monday
will be the Howard Hitler nuptials.
Miss Mabel Howard. daughter Of MIR.
and Mrs. Charles H. Howard. will be
welded Monday evening at o'clock
at her parents residence to Mr.. Bur-
rift Hitler.
The wedding will be a quiet affair
witnessed by intimate friends and
near relatives only. Immediately
after the ceremony supper will be
served and the young people will take
their departure for week or twos
visit at Duluth, when they will re-
turn and begin housekeeping here.
Miss Howard is one of North Da-
kota's favorite daughters. She was
born in Nelson county and came to

MANUFACTURING PULP.

If 1t is possible for the power which
is to be transmitted from Red Lake
Falls to this city in the form of
electricity can be furnished for some
ming like two cents per killowatt
while the cost of producing by local
concerns is something like five and a
half cents, it would seem that the
question of the developing of manu-
featuring enterprises in this city is
practically solved. 1t is of courc.
true that cities which have the facil;-
ties OF water power possess decided
advantage over those which do not.
But there are few of such cities in
which the raw material does not have
to be shipped long distance, thereby
increasing the expense and ultimately
compelling the abandonment of the To-
cation.
Notable exceptions to this statement
are Patterson, New Jersey, with its
immense silk mills. and Fall River,
Massachusetts. with It's shoe factories.
But in neither instance is the cost of
transporting the raw material of SER
iOus concern.

STREET PAVING.

If the present plans of the city
administration are carried out the
streets will be placed in condition for
paving next year. The policy is tc
have all the water and sewer connec-
tons made this year so that there
will be no need of disturbing the pave
ment once it is laid.
One thing seems to have been for
gotten in the plan. The light and
telephone companies have been re-
quired to place their wires under
ground in the business portions of the
city, and they have been given year
in which to comply with the require
ment. If they should use all the grace
allowed it will be we'll on in next
summer before the streets will be so
they can be paved if the work is re-
quired to wait on placing of the wires
under ground.
Under these conditions it is probabl
that no paving will be done next year.
The streets in the meantime will be-
come not only an eyesore but will
have their usefulness seriously in
jured.
Would it not be the better policy to
proceed with the work of paving and
if 1t is necessary to have the streets
torn up for public improvements to
simply require them to be placed in
the condition they were found?

it is said that in one year he spent
$4,000. This was the ruination of
young Thaw, and the end to which he
has come is the natural one under the
circumstances.
The efforts to prove Harry Thaw
victim OF emotional insanity" is the
farce in which, be it said to his credit,
he is not an accomplice. He has de-,
MED repeatedly since the tragedy that
he was mentally irresponsible, and
while this statement Is not proof to
the contrary, it indicates a certain
manhood in the murderer that en-
genders respect.
Whether the elder Mrs. Thaw will
take sides with the attorneys on the
insanity plea remains to be seen. She
will be the chairman OF the legal
boarH of strategy that will have the
defense of Thaw in charge, and per-
haps her first and last chief duty will
be to sign checks.
The trial of Thaw promises to be
one of the most sensational proceed
ures in the annals of Americas crimi-
nal record. Every element of popular
interest is present, and. while it has
been pointed out that there have been
similar cases before. nothing exactly
like it has ever occurred in this
country.
1t is fortunate for the defense that
the Thaw family has strong financial
resources. for undoubtedly they will
be needed before the end of the case
1t will be a bitter ordeal for Mrs
Thaw, but it is time for her to learn
that arrogance of wealth, false pride
Of family and disdain of the common
moralities of life cannot weigh in the
scale against the simple biblical axiom
that The wages of sin is DEATH

HARRY THAw's MOTHER,

The return of Mrs. William Thaw
from Europe, to take up the burden OF
defending her son who is now in
prison at New York awaiting trial on
the charge of numbering Stanford
White, promises to revive a certain
amount of interest in this case, which
has already held the attention of the
public for several weeks.
1t has been shown that Harry K.
Thaw is penniless and that he must
look to his mother for funds with
which to conduct the legal battle for
his life and liberty. That money will
be spent to the limit of the Thaw fam
lily credit to save the young scape-
grace from the electric chair there is
no manner of doubt.
1t is sorrowful mission that brings
the elder Mrs. Thaw home from her
titled daughters home, but she could
not DO less to save the life of her son,
for whose career she is Indirectly so
largely responsible. In the will of
Harry X. Thaw's father it was stipu-
lated that he should receive an in
come Of $2,400 year.
The elder Thaw knew what he was
doing when he limited the young
mans annuity to this amount. Had
young Thaw been obliged to live upon
that sum be might have amounted to
something. At least he would never
nave INDUCED in those wild extray-
agances that startled Paris and shock
ed his fellow countrymen. He might
even have gone to work, which would
have been his salvation.
But the doting mother. could not
bear the thought OF a son of hers en-.
gagged in useful employment, SO she
augmented his income enormously and

PROGRESS AT san FRANCISCO.

1t is gratifying to note that steady
progress is being made at San Fran
cisco not only with respect to re-
pairing damages and rebuilding the
structures recently destroyed by the
dual calamity of fire and quake, but
also in the condition of the people
there.
The evidence of this latter improve
ment is furnished in the announce
ment made by the local relief COM
mission that the free soup kitchens
which have been maintained up to the
present time will be abolished after
the arst OF the coming month, and
after that date free meals for the So
called sufferers will be a thing of
the past.
Hereafter stoves and culinary uten-
sils and uncooked provisions will be
given out and families will once more
return to the individual basis in the
matter of their daily food,
There 'still remain many grave
problems to face before San Francisco
will be we'll on the way to its former
estate. and chief of these, perhaps, is
sanitation. Where. however, there is
such a strong spirit of helpfulness
and determination as is everywhere
manifest in the rising new city of the
coast there is every reason for optim-
ism and hope. ~
incidentally it is to be regretted
that some of the insurance companies
are not dealing. with the situation in
a manner to reflect credit on their
business sagacity, or to inspire con-
fidence in them in future. The delay
OF these companies in paying up their
losses is undoubtedly responsible for
much of such delay in the work of
rebuilding as may exist.
The companies would do we'll to re-
hect that not San Francisco only, but
the whole world, is watching their
course in this matter. and any lack :.
OF justice on their part under such
circumstances certainly would be DOOR
policy. to put it on even that low
basis.
