mont shaft. Reaching the 10o0-foot level,
volumes of smoke were encountered,
showing that the mine was on fire.
The skip became jammed at this point
snd could neither be hosted nor lowered.
1t Is supposed to have been thrown of
the track by one of the men being over
come Dy smoke and falling against the
front wheels of the skip Two men
aboard got out and climbed to the sur
face by means of the ladder way. The
other eleven were in the mine at last
accounts. It is believed all have per-

Great volumes of smoke have been ris-

tempt was made to reach the imprisoned
men. through the Cover shaft, several
hundred feet distant from the Fremont.
1t Is a part of the Fremont Consolidated
mine and the two shafts are connected
at the 700-foot level.
The rescuers got as far as the 7OO-foot
level but could go no farther on account
of the smoke.
Four of the imprisoned men are Ameri-

No hope is entertained that any are row

probably the entire Seward peninsula is

for miles is covered several inches deep

lieved to be volcanic ashes.
The storm began several days ago, the
dust blowing in from the ocean, but at
first little attention was paid to the freak
of nature as it was expected that 1t

fan continued and after day became
SO dense as to seriously interfere with

Miners coming into town reported that
for miles the snow was so impregnated

impossible. Further, the air is so full
of ashes that breathing is difficult and

INSTINCT OF
HHER FOUS
OU7B BREAK
BATTLES WITH PRISONERS IN
CELL
With Irons Heated at Gas Jet, Men
Bore Through Wooden Wall
and Pry Out
Bricks

The sixth sense of Jailer Rockoff of tAe
city jail impelled him to go, without any
apparent reason, to the third floor last
night. where he arrived just in time to
prevent Sam Solomon, forger, and Will
lam Anson, a burglar, from escaping.
When he ,.rrived at cell 8, on the third
floor, which formerly was used as a
juvenile detention pen, he found that
there had been In progress another dar-
ing attempt to break from the city jail.
Cell is the only cell in the building
which is not a steel cage and the only
one which is equipped with gas jet
He found that by heating a broken
steel leg from cot the prisoners had
burned holes through wooden wainscot-
ing which covered the outer brick wall
of the cell and had torn off the wooden
shell.
With two spoons the men had then
dug out the plastering between the bricks
In the outer wall and had removed the
,irst tier of bricks.
The absence of two common pewter
spoons from the prisoners supper
table first excited the interest of the
jailer. 1t was wondering what had be-
come of them that led to his inspection
of cells In order that he might learn
what prisoners had carried them off.
Solomon led in the attempted jail
break, and did the preliminary work OF
pulling off the inside boards and dig
ging away the bricks, while Anson
acted as blacksmith.
The white-faced prisoners labored
with painting eagerness, alternately
heating iron rods at the gas jet in their
cell and then slowly burning the hard
wood easement away from the massive
bars that stood between them and lib
erty.
Little by little Solomon gouged and
burned away the wood. He managed
to pry enough bars loose to allow a
free passage of two feet
Finally he removed the bricks in his
way, and one by one slowed them un-
der his cot in the corner, noiselessly
tiptoeing across the cell. AS a last
precaution he swept the debris from
the window under his cot.
Solomon turned the gas low, APP
preached the window. looked out to
make sure of his ground. placed his
hands on the sill and prepared to
crawl out.
He shook off the jailer, rushed by him
and picked up the iron leg which he had
screwed loose from the cot Then began
a battle royal For five minutes the men
fought desperately back and forth in the
narrow cell Once Rockoff feared that
Solomon's weapon would crush him to
the ground. The jailer finally landed the
decisive blow of the conflict by reaching
Solomon's head with crashing swing
of the big keys in his hand.
Rockoff could not explain how he hap
pened to go up on the third floor at $3.50
O'Clock. it being nunusual time for
jnspection. He heard nothing to arouse
his suspicion, but when he missed the
two spoons something seemed to warn
him He stole up to the cell, slipped the
key quietly into the lock and entered
while the men were nervously burning
through the wood around the steel bars.
Solomon was SO aroused in his escape
that he never realized the approach OF
the jailer until Rockoff had grasped him
around the throat
