Fears for Seventy Entombed Miners
at Wigan, England.

wIGAN. England. August 19.-It is now
believed that not single man Of the
seventy miners who were entombed by an
explosion which occurred yesterday in
the Maypole coal mine here survived the
disaster The four men reported rescued
yesterday were engaged in an adjoining
building. The ventilating fan which was
put out of order by the explosion was re-
paired this morning. and the mine having
been cleared Of gases the rescue party
again descended.
The sight which met their eyes was
horrifying Not far from the bottom of
the shaft eighteen bodies were found. all
frightfully mutilated, legs and arms hav-
ing been blown of and heads battered al
most beyond recognition.
The management OF the mine declares
that between sixty and seventy men were
underground at the time of the explosion.
and that there is no hope that any one
will be brought out alive.
The women and children however, who
remained at the pit head all night, refuse
to leave until the bodies Of their dead are
brought to the surface. Nothing else will
convince them Of the hopelessness Of the
waiting.

TO INSTALL TYPOGRAPH The Daily News Has Ordered Typesett- ing Machine. Will Be In Opera
 ton By April lst

After many weeks of nogotiat- ing and deliberation the News on Monday placed it's order for a typesetting machine of the latest model, and it is expected it will be installed and in operation in this office within the next month. The proprietors of the News were very cautious in contract ing for this wonderful piece of mechanism that will do the work of two and possibly three men, for it required an outlay of cash that would have almost built a most modern home for the News. However, the owners of this paper having been convinced that the people of Prescott and vicinity appreciate live and progressive daily and determin- ed to make it's mechanical equip. ment ideal in every respect. Besides being a great economy in labor the new machine will on account of it's speed in setting type permit us to make the News much better paper, as we can give more attention to state and national events.
 The improved Tpyograph op- crates much like the linotype that are used on all the big dailies, being a matrix-assembl- ing, line casting and distribut- ing machine, which with one operator, will deliver from 5000 to 5000 ems per hour in slugs or lines, justified ready to print. The Typograph does not set type. It does away with type and or dinary composition and distribu- tion, thereby effecting a great saving in our hand composition.
 When the new machine is in. stalled we want our friends to call and see it in operation and it will be well worth your time, but don't all come at once.
