Iron Intrusion and
Solid Ground Is
Now Close.
EntOmbed Men and Res
cue Workers Are En-
cOuraeed.

AT the GirouX mine yesterday they
We're very close 10 the 500 level in the
Alpha shaft During the latter part
of the week Two sets of timbers were
got in place and anchored to the sur
face with cables, the additional ca
bles making eight in all that are now
tied TO the gallows frame on top OF
the ground These cables are sup
porting the entire timbering of the
shaft, holding it in place and pre-
venting collapse The gallows frame
has been braced to stand the strain.
That there is strain is plainly evident
from the fact that five of the cables
are stretched taught as steel rods
The others are tightening pereepti-
bly, as they remain in commission.
At 615 feet it is the firm expecta-
ton of Foreman Gallagher of the
Veteran mine, who is in full charge
of the relief work at the Giroux, that
solid ground will be entered At this
point in the shaft an iron intrusion
in the formation comes into the shaft
and the character of the ground
changes entirely. This is known and
it is in this knowledge that the high
est hopes of those working in the
shaft and of the men confined on the
! 900 level are conferred. They look
TO the change in the ground which the
workers are approaching as their sal
walton. If il is reached in safety
with all well above, there will be q
long sigh of relief some time this
week and the men on top of the caved
debris as well as those imprisoned
by it will feel doubled confidence and
heightened hope and energy. From
the moment the solid ground is en-
countered sinking through to the
900 will represent the first rapid
work that has been possible in the
shaft since the cave on the 4th oil
December. Mr.. Gallagher believes
that unless Interrupted or delayed
by occurrences which are not now
considered probable he viii make il
to the 900 and get the entombed
men out within two weeks after he
touches solid ground.
While there has been a good dea1
printed concerning the situation from
| time to time at the Giroux. there ha.
been nothing as yet published which
might give the public adequate idea
of the heroism of the men who ar,
working to reach the entombed min
ers nor of the heroism of the latter

Western interests Adopt
Plan to Get Reserve
In Action.
MUCH RECEIVED HERE
half Dollar Pieces Swamp Local
Banks -. Believed Movement
Will Result In Metal Demand.

During the week there were larg,.
shipments Of coin received in the city
to meet pay rolls. A great deal of
this coin was in half dollar silver
pieces. Half dollars have since fairly
Uttered the bank vaults and count
ing rooms of the banks of the city.
The bulk OF the coin has made IL al
most impossible for the bank en-
pIoycs to handle IL in anything like
the usual methodical manner which
prevails in the ordinary handling of
currency at these institutions.
Behind the heavy receipts of silver
coin ii appears that there has been
well directed effort on the part of
mine operators and mining interests
throughout the west According to
information secured yesterday from II
well informed source, the movement
is to the end of getting the silver the
government has on hand into circula-
tion, thereby making need for fur
ther coinage. Such result would
have tendency to help with advance
in the price Of silver, an end that
would be beneficial and gratifying to
everybody in the west, particularly so
to those engaged in the mining in
dustry.
1t is understood that in the move
ment which has been inaugurated
practically all the mining interests
of the west are engaged and that the
concerted effort will be continued
until a thorough try out has been
given. In this effort the interests en-
gagged will find the hearty support OF
miners and other employees, who be-
side preferring silver coin as rule
will naturally take hold enthusiastic
ally of the plan under the circnn1-
stances which exist. Heretofore gold
has been largely used for the pay
rolls. The substitution of silver in
part. to the extent of about half is
the plan. will make a big drain on
the reserve in the course of very
short time.

have that every time they went down
in the shaft they took their lives in
their hands. The character of the
ground is most treacherous and while
all has been done that human ingenu-
ity and care could suggest to make
the work as safe as possible there
have nevertheless been several occa-
sions when those in charge held their
breath in fear that the next moment
would see the shaft go from top to
bottom. These moments have been
when the ground has had spasms of
settling, spasms which brought the
cold perspiration TO the fOreheads of
those watching the movement. At
these times the men working in the
shaft were pulled to the surface
without delay and remained there un-
Ill the end came Such experiences
and the constant menace that all
have known the situation to carry
have taken away the nerve of more
than one man on the job. Brave fell
lows they are. they simply said they
We're ineapaeitated for more of the
work and must qait it and were re-
placed by others.
Down on the thousand level the
entombed men know what is going
on. They hear it every day from Gal
lagher, whose daily talks with them
are their greatest help. They look
/ forward TO these talks over the cable
which serves them with expectation
such as one finds at the sick bed
where the patient awaits with conf
1 dence and hope the coming of the
, trusted physician. He tells them just
what he is doing and just what he
expects to do tells them of the lat
est developments the men have
found in the shaft and how they are
going about their work. down TO the
smallest detail. Patiently he argues
+ with them about this, that and the
other way of doing things. They have
their suggestions to make and their
queries as TO IL this way would not
I be better than that. To all of their
talk the big foreman gives heed and
answer and his reasons and eXplana-
+ tions are always found sound on the
/ 900 level. IL is because of the con-
viction he carries to the entombed
men through his patient explanations
that they have kept heart. They
know that the man directing the
work which is to reach and release
them understands his job and that
he will get TO them If il is in the
power of man TO do so. This they
say over the telephone and they add
that as long as Gallagher is in charge
they will wait patiently and with

most fortunate. Not day of sick
