RESCUE IS ABANDONED.
It fs New Believed Entombed Miners
 Have Perished.

Dry Town, Cal. Dec. 2.--With smoke still pouring from the shaft of the Fremont Mine. hope for the eleven miners who were entombed Saturday was~ virtually abandoned last night. and 1t is believed all of them have per- fshed behind the wall of the flame which drove them toward the heart of the subterranean furnace when they tried to escape. James Drew. Joseph Manley. Daniel O'Brien and L. E. Will son are the Americans. O'Brien and Wilson are married. the latter having eight children. A crowd, among which there were many weeping women, sur rounded the mouth of the shaft all day.
 After the connecting drifts at Ere mont and Governor shaft had been bulk-headed and the collar of the lat- ter had been bearded up, to smother the fire. Superintendent Goodall start ed to flood the mine. Later Goodall and a party of mining experts went down the Governor shaft and found their way to the bulkhead which they blew open with dynamiate. Goodall and the party then went to the Fre- mont shaft and made an opening by taking off the bulkhead from the col- lar. They were about to descend in the skip to the 300 foot level. when they were driven back to the surface by the stifiing smoke. Other attempts made to descend were futile.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

NEW I IOTK FTtSS.
 We can all stand any amount of con- ceit. when it's our own.
 The real problem Is not the cost of living, but the cost of earning it.
 A man can believe he has most any disease unless the doctor tells him so.
 A girl doesn't think of saying she has never kissed before until 1t has happened to her a great many times.
 Even when a woman is ashamed of the kind of husband she has got she would be more ashamed not to have any.
