800 MEN ENTOMBED
7ost FrightfuI Calamity in History of
Illinois Overtakes Miners at
Cherry on Saturday.
Mine is on Fire and Hope Of SAVING
Lives of Unfortunate Victims
Has Been Abandoned.

Reports from the mine disaster at
Cherry, Illinois, the greatest calami-
ty in the history of that state,-say
that all efforts SO far have proved
futile to break the sealed shaft in
which three hundred men are en-
tombed. The temperature at the top
OF the burning St. Paul mine is lO8
degrees Fahrenheit and this is be-
lieved to establish beyond doubt the
fact that the men entombed by Satur-
days disaster are dead.
Rescuers equipped with oxygen
helmets, who entered the mine added
to the horror by declaring that it was
still on fire and in many places was
caving in. The rescuers were unable
to penetrate more than few feet from
the main shaft in the second vein.
Equipment consisting of the most
modern paraphernalia was useless
in the chambers, all of which we're
choked with gas and smoke.
That every bit of life-giving air had
been exhausted many hours before
was declared certain. Three descents
we're made but no sign of life was
seen and the rescuers declared that no
life could exist for hundreds of feet
beyond the shaft entrance. A few
miners caps and lamps were seen,
tragic tokens of the first mad rush for
safety by the miners who escaped, but
no bodies were found. This indicates
to the rescuers that when the miners
realized they we're penned hopelessly
in pit from which there was no exit,
they rushed to the furthermost end of
the vein, where some air might be
found that would keep them alive till
help came. Frantic protests against
the action of the state commission in
ordering the sealing up of the en-
frances followed the action, and grew
greater as the hours passed. In spite
OF the expostulation of the relatives of
the imprisoned ones, experienced mine
workers asserted it was the only way
to end the fire and afford any hope of
escape to those within.

A Scathing Indictment.

The result of the newspaper COM
bine in St. Paul daily manifests itself
when we read such headlines in the
evening replica as this: 'Eberhart
and Lind picked as leaders," Who
picked them, how and when? The
country or that certain territory out
side of the political amphitheatre,
would much like to know what Gov.
Eberhart stands for and what he has
done to entitle him to leadership. If
standing by his party guns when that
party was assailed by the common foe
should be the merit, he does not de-
serve it, for he twice baked and will
again.-Granite Falls Tribune.

HICHW JAYS
Rev. S. M. Dick, D. D., Takes the In
itiative and breaches Good
Roads From Pulpit.
Greater Good Will Ensue From q Ser.
mon of This Sort Than From
Political Harangue.

DR.. S. M. Dick, pastor of the
fashionable Wesley church of Mime
apolis, and one Of the best speakers
in the country, in a sermon on "The
Ideal State" on Sunday, advocated
system of national highways connect
ing all the capitals of the states at the
start and developed later to include
all important cities and towns. His
idea is a good one.
DR.. Dick took strong grounds
against the appropriation of about 81
per cent of the national revenues an
nually for war purposes. He decried
in particular the building of more
and greater battleships, denouncing
the expenditure of hundreds of
millions of dollars annually for army
and navy as burden upon the people
which will not be borne in patience
indefinitely.
The system CT highways DR.. Dick
advocated would give employment the
year round, be estimated, to $4,000
men and would cost $50, 900, 900. That
amount he would take from the ap-
preparation for military purposes,
with as much more for development of
national resources.
he estimated that the lands of this
country available for agriculture are
capable of sustaining population of
more than 200, 900, 900 people if divided
into tracts of ten acres each. Every
ten-acre tract, he declared, is capable
on the application of high process
farming of sustaining in luxury a
family of five persons, and of insur-
ing for them all the benefits of educa-
ton, travel and all the pleasures of
modern living.
AT the present rate of increase, DR..
Dick argued, the United States, by
1850, will have population of 200,-
100000. How to feed that number of
people, and how to care for their
social and material welfare on the
present progressive American
standard, were the questions he
answered by suggesting as imperative
the curtailment of the immense appro-
priations for the military departments,
and the movement to the vacant farm
lands OF the surplus population.

GEORGES CANYON
SECTION PROMISES
some Big RESULTS

After having spent several days
at Georges canyon, Harry Stimler
has returned to Tonopah. Mr.. Slim
Ter is one of the original locators of
the property that first brought that
district to the attention of the
world. In spite of the fact that he
was the discoverer of what is now
Goldfield and that he is perhaps as
well acquainted with the different
districts of southern Nevada as any
man in this section, he believes
that Georges canyon is the premier
of them all; that is to say, he is of
the opinion that the district will
prove one of the largest producers
in the state of Nevada if it is given
the attention the surface showings
SO richly warrant.

Ter, "convinces me that Georges

is fairly alive with Lodges of the

one of which shows values worthy
of exploration.
There is quite a demand fol-

turning over their properties for 6

Greenwater and Death Valley Cop
per company had about decided to
abandon the field.
A short time ago, Superintendent
John MCGEE advised the company
officials in New York that the sink
ing of the shaft could not be con-
tinued without the installation of a
larger hosting plant, a depth of
400 feet having been attained, and
asked for instructions as to what
he should do-either crosscut at
the 400 or quit work altogether.
This week the Bernheimer party
visited Greenwater and concluded
to continue the work in the shaft to
an indefinite depth. A new hoist
will be secured for that purpose.
The company has more than
100000 in the treasury, and it has
been proposed that this money be
spent in the development of some
other property, rather than expend
any more in trying to find pay ore
at Greenwater.
1t is estimated that permanent
water level will not be reached short
of 200 feet, or 700 feet below the
bottom of the shaft-Rhyolite Her
