EntOmbed One Week and Yet
Live.

Cherry, Ill November 2O.-Af-
Ter a week spent in the death
chambers of. the St. Paul mine ~
of the entombed miners were res
cued alive this afternoon.
The men lived for seven days on
crusts of bread, scraps of meat,
bark and leather during their i'm,
prisonment in the tunnel.
They underwent the most terri.
BILE hardships.
One of the men, Joe Mills, a
Frenchman, died during the en-
tom bment, but the others were
brought to the surface in fairly
good physical condition.
The rescued miners owe their
lives chiefly to George Eddy, a
mine boss, who led them into a
side chamber of the mine, sealed
up the passage way and kept them
in the Enclosure until aid arrived.
The rescue took place shortly
after 2 o'clock. The rescuers are
imbued with the greatest hope,
and it is expected that many other
miners will be taken from the
mine alive,
Volunteers worked all night in
the tunnels with picks and shovels
attempting to dig through a cave
in which blocks the third vein.
The greatest exc itement followed
the news that the men had been
rescued from the mine.
Men wept and women and chill
dren screamed soldiers and Depu-
ty Sheriffs fought with the crowds
to prevent them from rushing on
the rescued men.
ALI honor to Hero George Eddy,
who had gathered the men who
were saved into one company.
Acting under Eddy's directions,
the men built their barrier against
death, and, encouraged through
the long vigil by his eheerfulness
and good counsel, they waited the
more hopefully for rescue.
They had no explosives and

MINING
FRAUD
Elimination Of Fraud Would
Greatly Help Industry. Says
Mining Congress.

Senator George Fl. Cross is the
author of a measure now pending
before the state Legislature, which,
if is believed will be successful in
preventing many of the fake pro-
motions which have previously
infested the mining industry
greatly to its detriment.
The main purpose of this bill is
to establish suitable penalties for
fraud and misrepresentation,
while it also greatly simplifes the
process of proving fraud and mis-
representation. Under present
| statutes on frauds, as they exist in
most states, it is very difficult to
prove fraud, and in no case can it
be done until the investor has
been swlndled.
This bill, in connection with
former Geologist Beeler's publici-
ty bill, which was passed several
years ago, ought to prove of great
benefit to Wyoming's mining in
terests. Mining in this state, as
we'll as in other western states,
has suffered greatly owing to the
disgraceful operations of some
fake promoters, whose misrepre-
sensations haye caused the loss of
much money by investors, usual
ly located in the east. And not
only mining but other investment
enterprises have consequently suf-
fered. Several years ago the
American Mining Congress, with
headquarters in Denver, began a
systematic agitation for suitable
laws which would make it ex-
tremely difficult for takers to OPP
crate without being in danger of
severe penalties, and nearly all of
the western states have responded
to it's appeals for Legislation. Sen
ator Cross bill has the approval
of the Mining Congress, which
represents the real mining men
of America, and it's passage is be-
ing sought by all Legitimate min
ing interests in the state.
Fol years the Mining Congress
has labored TO attract eastern and
foreign capital to the investment
enterprises of the west, and N OF
its principal efforts has been to
remove this obstacle to fair prof
it's and safety for foreign capital.
This organization is a real and
representative mining mems or
ganization, with many members
in Wyoming, and it is confident
that an increased flow of capital
for Legitimate enterprises will fol-
low the removal of a large part OF
fraud and misrepresentation from
mining.

very little from the Pacific coast
in the way of new settlers.
1t is understood that the bill
granting the Land Commissioner
la thousand-dollar raise and a four
pyear term, which will be reported
tomorrow, will be reported un-
favorably by the committee.
The house today, after unani-
mously favoring the Basin hos
pital bill on Thursday, unceremon-
iously killed the measure this
afternoon.
In the house the committee of
the whole was in session practically
the entire morning and a number
of bills which had been postponed
for one reason and another were
taken up.
The first was FL. B. No. lib, re-
~lating to the incorporation of re-
ligious societies. Mr.. Brewster
who opposed the bill a few days
ago made further arguments
against the bill this morning,
tending to show that the bill as
drawn will not stand the test of
constitutionality, including as it
does, too wide a range of action
for such religious corporations.
Several members, led by Mr.
Hinckley, argued for the bill
which was finally postponed in
definitely.
S. F. No. 81, a bill to permit the
sale of city property for taxes
without the necessity for making
the sale at the county seat, was
opposed bv Mr.. Nichols on con-
stitutional grounds and finally
postponed to Wednesday.
III. b. No. 6, relative to the issu-
ance of city warrants to over the
expense of sewer improvements,
was recommended to pass.
II. b. No. 13S, relative to spec-
I'ial tax levies, was also recommend
ed to pass.
H. B. No. 1873, an election dis
trict local option bill, was inde6n-
itely postponed, but the municipal
local option bill goes to third
reading today.
Other bills recommended for
passage by the house were:
Fl. B. No. las, relative to the
denominations of city bonds.
FL. B. No. IA, relative to the
license for auctioneers.
Fl. B. Nc. 135, relative to the
guardianship of orphans.
FL. B. No. 141, amending the
law relative to first voters.
There were no new bills in the
house this morning, the following
being introduced in the senate:
5. F. No. 107, by Mr.. Baird, re-
lating to the board of livestock
commissioners.
S. F.. No. los and S. F. No. 100,
by Mr.. Brock, relating to attach
ments.
FL. b. No. ITO, by Mr.. Sawyer,
by request, repeats the law fixing
the salary of the state geologist
and prescribing his duties. Should
tins bill pass the state geologist
would have no duties and no sal
airy, although the constitution
prevents the elimination Of the
Office.
e.. B. No. Ill, by Mr.. Holiday,
relating to pure food commission
ers' tests of milk.

FROM H
LEGISLATURE
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE

sent, the house today settled the
question of county division for
Big Horn county and granted the
enabling act for the formation of
Washable county September 10,
1910. Friends of the bill are JOY
ously celebrating the event to-
night, for it's passage has had a
very doubtful aspect since the
vote of the committee of the whole
on Thursday. That the bill pass
ed is generally credited to the
persistent work of Representative
Porterfield, whose impassioned
speech in favor of the bill on
Thursday won a number over to
his side, and clearly presented
the needs of people of his section
for a county.
But the passage of this measure
will prove a surprise to many, as
it was generally thought the meas
ure would fail when the house
vote in committee of the whole
only showed 2S votes in favor of
it. That somebody did some eff
fective work since that vote was
taken is certain. After the vote
on Thursday, a number of those
who came here to oppose the
Washable bill went home satisfied
that it would be defeated. Col
Inns and Robertson, who were
here several weeks vigorously op-
posing the measure, left town af-
ter the vote of Thursday. and
Governor Richards was not pres
ent today when the final vote was
taken.
As predicted in these columns
several weeks ago-just five to be
accurate-the Legislature today set
the final seal of disapproval on
any local option bill, when the
house, by a vote of 20 to %, failed
to pass the Winkleman municipal,
option measure. The senate hav-
ing already killed the Crumrine
measure, the question is settled
for this session. But the prohibi-
ton folks have much to feel proud
over. The Brock Wailop bill,
prohibiting the sale of liquors out
side of the incorporated towns and
cities, is a long step toward pro-
hibition, affecting l23 saloons in
the state. Some of these can
keep going by incorporating, but
something like 100 of them must
close.
After a spirited debate in the
senate today, that body voted a
favorable report for the tax CON-
missioner bill, and there seems a
strong probability the measure
as amended, will pass. At first
doubtless because its full intent
was a trife obscure, sentiment
was largely against the measurs
