day. when they made an ascent In
the balloon American. are held pris-
oners In some deep ravine from
which there Is no means OF egress,
hundreds OF hardy mountaIneers
are securing the Sierra Madre range
today in an effort to locate the
missing aeronauts.
Chances are all against the nat
ural prison theory. u Is considered
much more PROBABLE that the bal
loonists were dashed to pieces when
the basket In which they rode came
crushing down along the huge
boulders on the mountain side, or
they landed ia the trackless forest
and finally succumbed To cold and
hunger.
Hope Against Hope.
But faint though IL is, the
flickering hope that they viii be
rescued alive remains In the breasts
OF the searchers. Although Il Ia
considered almost certain that the
balloon did not cross the mountains
and reach the Mojaye desert, no
chance OF rescuing the lost party
Is being overlooked. and as soon
as the mouutaiueers deport today,

can. and Roy knabenshue, the

chance Of finding the Mueller party
II Il IS In that part OF the country.
Reports received today indl
cate that the balloon landed
somewhere between Mt. Lowe
and MI. Wilson, probably in
Mlliarc's canyon, the widest
raVine In the Sierra Madre
range.
While It Is probable that the
members OF the balloon party. IL
uniniured, would have made their
way back 10 civilization before this

possibility remains that they are
confined In one OF the deep pockets
from which there Is no outlet.
Comforting Theory.
This is the most comforting the
DRY the searohers have entertained,
but even II Il should prove correct
the safety Of the missing men Is
not assured. Most OF the canyons
are filled with drifts OF snow from
30 70 60 feet deep. while others have
been converted into lakes by the
recent storms.
