MINERS STILL
UNDER THE GROUND

Salt Lake City, Utah.. Jan. a.
Advices from Ely, New, state that
probably ten days more will be re-
quired before the rescuers reach
Brown, Mcdonald and Bailey. the
three miners who have been impris-
oned since December 1. in the Alpa
shaft of the Giroux mine at Ely. 1t
is likely that the men will have been
six weeks in their tomb-like prison
before they can be freed. They are
able to talk with their rescuers over
the mine telephone and declare that
they are very well satisfied with
their quarters and that there is no
particular hurry about getting them
out. Water and food is sent down
to the men through six-foot pipe,
and they have considerable room for
exercise. Air is constantly forced IL.
to them. To while away the time
the men occasionally hold vocal con-
certs, singing over the telephone wire
for the benefit OF those above.

The BANK WILL

action of the directors in voting to
liquidate. and the bank VII so out

and the editor of a socialist maya

bank since George NJ. Coffin, the
president. became i'll or nervous pros
tration just before the financial panic
began. and had to go to California.
According to Mr.. Wiltshire, the di-
rectors found that it was hopeless
to attempt to continue in business at
a. profit to the stockholders, and as
there was enough money on hand to
pay all the depositors and settle up
the affairs of the bank in full, it was
thought best to retire from busi-

nocence, opinions which would prob
ably be dificult to eradicate.
These opinions are probably gov
erned largely by the newspapers
which the prospective jurors have
read. What is commonly called the
New York yellow press" has played
up every fact favorable to Thaw and
the habitual reader of such journals
would naturally be possessed of a
firmly fixed opinion that the young
Pittsburg millionaire is much
wronged man and should immediate
ly be given his liberty. The conser-
vatiye press, on the other hand, has
occasionally lapsed from its attitude
of judicial calm to denounce Thaw
and to defend the maligned memory
of Stanford White. at times painting
him as a white-souled angel whose
angelic robes have been soiled by the
calumn of malicious and menda-
cious woman.
The great mass of New York men
reflect one or the other OF these op-
inions in their conversation regard
ing the Thaw case. The human in
terest stories which enterprising re-
porters have woven. with Harry and
Evelyn Thaw as hero and heroine.
have won the sympathies of many
thousands of men and this fact will
likely be much in evidence when the
attempt to get jury begins on Mon
day.
