still alive by giving three taps at
shorj intervals. The water pipe
has been the salvation of the
men, as through it they have
been furnished air and water
and food. A chain of four two
inch iron pipes, each six inches
long, connected with flexible
links and incloscd top and bot
tom with screw caps are filed
with liquids and solid food and
lowered by a windlass. The
food contrivance is flexible, SO
that it can pass the elbow of the
water pipe at the station. Can
vas was lowered through the
pipe, and with some pieces of
pipe and boards which the men
found at the 1000 foot stations
they made three cots, which add
greatly to their comfort. For
the first few days they were
forced to sleep on the ground.
The two men drowned were
unmarried, as also are Brown
and Mcdonald. Bailey's wife is
almost constantly at the tele-
phone talking to him, and helps
to tighten her anxiety by the
assurance that he is in no i'm
mediate danger. The rescuers
are now working one hour at a
time in shifts of two men each.
Each man is secured by a rope
fastened around his body and
extending to the upper levels, to
guard against a second cave-in.
The one grave danger now is
that with the removal of the in
terlaced timbers and iron that
lodged and stopped the fall of
debris to the bottom of the walls
of the shaft, supported by the
interlocked stuff, may give way

bury the miners. Extreme eau

Ely, New, Jan. 2.-The rescu-
ers working to reach Bailey, Nc
Donald and Brown, miners i'm
prisoned since Dec. 1st, 1000'feet
down in the Alpha shaft of the
Circus mine here, got through 25
feet of earth today. There is
still nearly 500 feet of earth,
rock and interlaced timbers to be
removed before the men can be
released. If the excavating is
continued at the same rate of
progress the entombed miners
will be reached by Jan. 10, when
they will have been 40 days in
their narrow prison.
The prisoners, talking over
the telephone installed at the
900 foot level, said that they
had enough food on hand to last
them three weeks, and that as
there is plenty of room for ex-
ercise in the chambers they are
feeling fine. All are in good con-
dition, and as evidence of their
light spirits they rendered sew
eral songs through the telephone
to those above.
We would have liked to be
out for New Years dinner, as
we are sure we could have done
justice to it" said Bailey, but
we realize that everything that
is possible is being done to re
lieve us. We know that the men
employed in the rescue work are
risking their lives for US, and we
would rather be in our places a

My friend Charlie Curtis is 4 genius

lege, then put in Il year at electrical
engineering. The reason why he stud
led it only Il year WIS because before
he had completed that brief period he
knew more than all the professors conf
bined. They admitted he was genius,
but feared it would prove to be uncon-
trolled genius.
Charlie had said to me that making
electricity or storing it, which is the
same thing. was Il good deal like COM

tricity than there is ocean, he said

l was not surprised when he came to
me one day and said he'd done the
trick.
Charlie was evidence that money

Charlie looked puzzled. | asked him

Not only this, but electric fame was

There was no harm in it, but it was
evident that the people in the boat and
