MINERS ENTOMBED FOR WEEKS.
Three Men Buried a Thousand Feet
Underground in Nevada.

One morning early in December
sudden crash. Of timbers, muffled
clatter of rock and cloud of dust told
the engineer of the Alpha mine, near
Ely, New, that the five men he had
just sent down in the cage were buried.
He gave, the alarm and a thousand
men, eager to be Of service, gathered
about the shaft. Supt. Gallagher care
fully picked the men he wanted, noti-
fled others that he might call upon
them later and at once began efforts to
communicate with the entombed men,
hoping some might have escaped death.
Before nightfall he learned that two
Greeks were caught in the cave-in and
buried alive, but that the three Ameri-
cans, Bradley, Brown and Mcdonald,
were in no immediate danger. A six
inch pipe runs from the mouth of the
shaft to the bottom and by removing
the cap from its base the imprisoned
men managed to talk with Gallagher.
They told him they had little food
and water enough for two or three
days.
With rubber devices Gallagher passed
food and liquids down the pipe and
was soon able to supply the men. He
first it seemed probable that he would
reach them in week. Before that
time the unforeseen happened and the
rescuers were compelled to make new
plans. 1t was then announced that ten
days would be sufficient to get to the
miners, but fresh accidents beyond the
pale of prevention delayed the work
ers. Now Gallagher declines to make
predictions and simply says that he
will continue his effort as long as he
has strength to direct 1t. The men
can be saved, he declares, and he will
,ave them.
The entombed miners spend their
long days far more cheerfully than
might be expected In such circum-
stances. To safeguard them In case
the rescue party is delayed Supt. Gal
lagher has supplied them with enough
provisions to last three weeks. They
receive cooked food. eggs, milk, and
tobacco by means of a six-inch pipe
running down the shaft. They have
connected the mine telephone with an
electric cable, and are. able to talk daily
with their families and friends. They
are well supplied with news, and have
shown much interest in the Goldfield
crisis. They have plenty Of light and
room to move about, so that IL they
can endure the long delay they can
wait for rescue with confidence and
comparative comfort.
The rescue party itself has dangers
to face. A cave-in below the tempo
rary platform of timbers upon which 1t
is working might preclpitate 1t hun
dreds Of feet Each man works with
a rope about his waist. SO that IL all
suddenly find themselves without any
footing they can be hauled to safety.

"Americanitis.o

The manner In which Americans

bewilderment and amusement to the
foreign mind. The Rev. John Watson,
Ian Maclaren-whose death occurred
In this country, gives In "Our Neigh

he once received.
1t Is now several years ago that q
tall, thin man followed his card into
my study with such rapidity had
barely time to read 1t before the visit
or was in the room.
"My name Is Elijah X. Higgins and
am busy man. You are also busy
and have no time to fool away. Four
days is all l can give to the United
Kingdom and l wished to shake hands
with you. Goodbye, l am Off to
Drumtochty."
l calculate that Mr.. Higgins spent
thirty seconds In my study. He left
so swiftly l only overlook him at the
front door, asked him II he knew
where Drumtochty was.
"Guess l do. Got route In pocket.
Northwest from Perth"
In two seconds he was whirling
away in fast hanson. AS l returned
and imagined my visitor comprising
Great Britain in four days, l was for a
moment reused from that state of COM
parative lethargy which we In England
call work, and added six more engage
ments to the afternoons program. For
days after, as often as was tempted
to rest In my chair, the remembrance
Of that whirlwind gave me renewed
vigor.

Queen victorla's letters, which have
recently been published, are an impor-
tant contribution to the intimate his
tory of an age of English thought and
literature which bears her name. Her
letters to Tennyson, published some
years ago. and other first-hand records
of her which have trickled into print,
have long since dspelled the idea that
she was only symbol and name.
The new volumes show more abundant
ly that she was keen, vigorous think
er about men and events. If she had
genius for craftsmanship, she had also
genius for an art quite as rare, the
art of letter-wrting.

An unusual method OF construction
has been adopted for the Michigan Cen
tral Railroad tunnel under the Detroit
river. Instead of boring hole under
the river and lining 1t with masonry
or iron, the tunnel Is built In sections
at shipyard in st. Clair and floated
down the st. Clair river and across st.
Clair Lake to the place In the Detroit
river where 1t Is desired to run trains
across A trench has already been
dredged In the bottom of the river, and
the tunnel section Is sunk into the
trench and encased with enough ce-
ment to hold 1t down. Each end of the
section Is, Of course, plugged to keep
the water out, and as a new section Is
sunk Its ends are bolted to the ends
of the section already in place. Each
section Is steel tube two-hundred and
sixty feet long and twenty-three feet
and four inches In diameter. Ten OF
these will be laid In the trench in the
river bottom, making total subaque-
GUS length for the tunnel of more than
twenty-six hundred feet. The total
length of the excavation, including the
land approaches will be nearly two and
one-half miles. The tunnel is to be
completed In June, 1909, at cost of
$1O.O00,O00. The st. Clair river, under
which the trains Of the Grand Trunk
Railway are carried, was tunneled by

There is reason to believe that the
entire question Of emigration Of the
japanese to America has been satisfac-
torily settled, at 5east for the present,
after series of conferences between
United States Ambassador O'Brien and
Minister of Foreign Affairs Hayashi in
Toxic.
1t Is understood that at their last
meeting, the representatives of the Jap
anese government outlined plan by
which 1t Is agreed to limit emigration
to students and commercial men hay-
ing means Of support, and entirely to
prevent japanese laborers from going
to America. This arrangement will en-
tail the closest supervision on the part
Of the japanese authorities. AS the
agreement Is verbal, Ambassador
O'Brien accepted It Professionally, but
maintained that any violation Of its
terms would seriously embarrass u
friendly government 1t Is said that
Foreign Minister Hayashi will exercise
absolute control.

PLENTY OF EXER-
CISE NECESSARY,

Plenty of regular exercise must
be taken in order to keep the body
in healthy condition. Any exces-
sive or unusual exertion' however,
is sure to cause stiffness and sore
ness of the muscles and joints.
To cOunteract this effect there
is nothing better than Sloan's Lini.
ment. Lay it on lightly where the
muscles have been strained; it re-
quires no rubbing for it penetrates
right to the bone. relieves any con
gestiOn and inflammation and makes
the muscles elastic and plant
Sloan S Liniment is a great boon
to athletes, for it not only relieves
pain and stiffness, but it is an ex-
cellent remedy for sprains, cuts
bruises and cramps.
