Enemies of Project Advised

The. surveys just finished have been
known to those actively opposed to the
acquisition by the city of the Hetch
Hetchy source of supply, but news of
the matter reached the city administra-
tion only yesterday. In the intimatioh
from friends of San Francisco at Wash
ington is contained the information
that not only has general survey been
made, but that each possible source has
been scrutinized closely. and, further.
that even those sites which the experts
working for the city have examined
and reported upon adversely because of
lack or poor quality OF water, inaccessi-
bifitySor prior claim, are carefully con-
sidered in the report that is to be made
to the department Of the interior.
1t is regarded as strange that the
Spring Valley officials and other enc
mics of the Hetch Hetchy project
should have had knowledge of these
been taken into Ballinger's confidence.

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

A UBURN, Nov. 14.-Sunday
n was a day of correspondence
and verse for Alma Bell, the
girl on trial here for the murder OF
her sweetheart, Joe Armes. 1t was
day of cheer for her. For the first
time since her Incarceration IN the
early part of June last she learned
that the great world outside of Au-
burn and Placer county was follow
ing her cause with its heart. She
learned that the poet of the Sierras,
whose pen had writ the noblest lines
in literature on Christopher Colum-
bus, had found in her plight the theme
for vigorous verse commencing her
for Staying the man who, she claims,
so grossly deceived her
Gets Poems and Letters
When Alma read Joaquin Miller's
poem in this mornings issue of The
Call her eyes filled and Immediately
she sat and wrote note of thanks
to the venerable poet.
The girl received another verse to-
day through her attorney, Lee L.
Chamberlain Grace West of San
Francisco sent TO Chamberlain The
Ballad of Alma Bell"
In her mail today were fourteen
letters from various parts of the state
urging the girl to have courage, as
she would be vipdicated for protect
ing her honor. One of the letters
was from the son of baseball mag
nate of San Francisco and contained
a check for SIS from him and the

lesson they must find in the trial. and
declaring that while the girl was pitt

Affected by Her Letters

Alma was deeply touched by the
letters she received. Never before had
the primitive girl attracted general at
tentfon and it is not speaking harshly
to say that she was fattered by the
notice and sympathy. Many of the
letters were anonymous The San
Francisco baseball magnate's son

was from San Francisco woman.

aDon't allow the attorneys for the
prosecution to frighten YOU There is
not a woman, girl, and 1 have my
doubts if there is a man who would
vote to convict you under the circum-

and pray every day and your mind
will be strong enough to bear you up
until they get through with you.''

Faint Hope Remains

Faint hope remains that some of the
men entombed in the mine have sur
a-ired the imprisonment OF So hours.
Cherry was excited this afternoon by a
report brought TO President A J. Earl
ing Of the Chicago. Milwaukee and st.
Paul railroad. who is on the scene. that
concussions which may have been shots
fired by imprisoned miners. were heard
by farmers. It was said that the
sounds were distinct half mile south
of the main shaft and sounded like
signals.
In the Offices OF the mining company
tbe list of the missing was compiled
today. Including the Il heroes who
were roasted alive in the attempt at
rescue the total number Of dead is
placed at 3s5. It was admitted that
the number may he increased. one
hundred and seventy men who entered
the mine Saturday morning have been
accounted for.
Crowds OF people besieged the
mouths OF the shafts al day. Rela-
tives Of missing men moaned or be-
came hysterical in their agony.

Local officials swore in 10 deputy
sherifs to control the crowd. Scores

other towns We're run into Cherry
laden with curiosity seekers and rela-
tives Of miners. It was necessary to
rope Off the vicinity OF the shafts TO
save the rescuing party and officials
from being overwhelmed.
Early this morning a special train
arrived bearing mine inspectors sent
out by Governor Deneen. In charge
Of the party was Richard Newsam.
chairman Of the ILLINOIS mining COM
mission.
Inspector Newsam. after assuming
charge Of the situation. had every
source of ingress and egress TO the
mine carefully examined. The plant
OF the mine and its veins was studied
intently. Then it was decided that
the only hope Of reaching the inte-
rior lay in the air shaft.
A special train brought miners he'll

fore 1 o'clock the roof Of the air shaft
was broken through. tie cable was

enough to carry two men tightly
wedged in. was suspended above the
hole and all was in readiness for the
first attempt 10 penetrate the heart of
horror
Every precaution was taken TO pre-
vent further useless sacrifice of life.
Twice a long pliable wire carrying a
delicate thermometer was lowered in
the air shaft TO the bottom Of the mine
100 feet below. After 10 minutes it
was drawn up. The instrument showed
little signs OF heat and that the heroic
work Of the fire fighters had been sue
oessful. Then the empty bucket was
lowered and drawn up. It returned TO
the surface as cool as it was when it
descended.
These tests satisfied the inspectors
and led 10 the climax OF, day of

that two men dressed in freproof gar

There are many brands of woven
wire on the market and of course there
is only one best, we think we have that
one in the Peerless. Many fences
buckle and give down between tbs
post because the stays are made in
several pieces and come loose or slip
giving the fence a sagging appearance
In the Peerless the stiff stays hold the
fence up where it belongs, and the cat
tie eating over the top or hogs roofing
at the bottom will not make it sag

teal things about this fence. We have
it in several widths and at prices which
should interest you. Come in and lie
