VERY CLOSE TO 1O4,
Low Price at Which Canal Bonds Can
Be Awarded.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Although no
official figures are given the opinion at
the treasury department seems to be
general that the low price for Panama
canal bonds will be very close to 104.
The announcement in the secretary's
circular of Nov. Is that successful
bidders might be permitted to In.
crease the amount of their purchase
will necessarily leave the precise low
price in more or less doubt until the
successful bidders have all been heard
from.
The fact that as usual where no de-
posit is required to accompany the
bid there are, it is believed, quite a
large number of bids, some of them
for large amounts, from irresponsible
persons, who hoped to, If successful,
sell their allotments at a profit with
out having to put up any cash on
their own account The department,
however, will try to devise some
means Of eliminating bids of this
character before final awards are
made.

CALIFORNIA MINE DISASTER
No Hope for Safety of Eleven En-
tombed Workmen.

Drytown, CAL, Dec. 3.-With smoke
still pouring from the shaft of the
Fremont mine hope for the eleven
miners who were entombed Saturday
is virtually abandoned and 1t is be-
lieved all of them have perished be-
hind the wall of flame which drove
them toward the heart of the subter
ranean furnace when they tried to
escape.
James Drew, Joseph Manley, Daniel
O'Brien and l.. e. Wilson are the
Americans among the victims, the
rest of whom are Italians and Aus
trians.
A crowd, among which there were
many weeping women, surrounded the
mouth of the shaft all day. A num-
ber of attempts were made to get into
the mine, but all of them had to be
abandoned.
After the connecting drifts of the
Fremont and Cover shafts had been
bulkheaded and the collar of the lat
ter had been boarded up to smother
the fire superintendent Goodall start
ed to food the mine. Later Goodall
and party Of mining experts went
down the Cover shaft and found their
way to the bulkhead, which they blew
open with dynamite. Goodall and
party then went to the Fremont shaft
and made an opening by taking off
the bulkhead from the collar. They
were about to descend In the skip to
the 300-foot level when they were
driven back to the surface by the
sitting smoke. Other attempts made
to descend met with the same futile
results

FIFTY MEN ENTOMBED
Little Hope Remains Of Rescuing
Any Of Them Alive.
RELIEF CREWS FACE DEATH
Disaster Occurs In the Naomi Mine of
the United Coal Company Near
Monongahela City, Pa, and Was
Caused by Terrific Explosion.

Pittsburg, Dec. 3.-The number of
men entombed in the Naomi mine of
the United Coal company of this city,
located one and a half miles back of
Monongahela City, is now said to be
fifty. Hope that the men will be res
cued alive Is gradually dwindling
away. The large force of rescuers has
only succeeded in reaching the nine
teenth entry and no sign of the en-
tombed men has been found. There
are thirty-seven entries in all and the
men were working far back in the
mine when the explosion occurred.
The work Of rescue Is progressing
slowly and with much difficulty. Ow.
ing to the poisonous gas fumes the
rescuers are unable to remain in the
entries more than fifteen minutes at
a time.
are in a precarious condition from In
haling the deadly afterdamp and Su-
perintendent James Henderson had to
be taken to his home.
The big air fan is still going, but
little relief Is obtained owing to the
heavy volume Of the afterdamp. The
fact that the afterdamp prevents res.
cue work is taken as an indication
that every man In the mine has per-
ished.
Expert Miners Aiding in Rescue.
Under the supervision of Deputy
State Mine Inspector Henry Loutitt a
score of expert miners of the Pitts
burg Coal company and the Monon-
gahela River Consolidated Coal com.
pany are making every effort to reach
the entombed men.
The scenes about the mine are pitt
full Relatives have been impeding the
work of the rescuers and at noon Off
GERS arrived to keep them away from
the pit mouth.
Every possible precaution is being
taken to keep the big air fan operat-
ing so that in case any of the men are
still alive they will have fresh air.
Mine Inspector Henry Loutitt gave
out the following statement:
"It Is impossible to say just what
caused the explosion. The mine was
remarkably free from gas, but you
can never tell about such thing.
Gas is likely to be found in the most
unexpected places. The force of the
explosion was terrific and cannot
think that any man In the Naomi
mine escaped with his life.
"The mine was practically shat
tered and I believe we will eventually
find thousands of tons of earth block
ing the way to the entombed miners.
We have been unable to get into the
mine to any great distance, 500 yards
being about the limit"
According to the latest statements
made there are five Americans and
forty-two foreigners In the mine.
