MINERS ARE HOPEFUL.

Cherry. Nov. 23.--Robert McFad-
den and Barney Dougherty penetrated
120 feet into the third vein and found
no dead nor living men. Ebth are
confident that the majority of the
$50 miners imprisoned in this vein
are barricaded in pockets" alive. The
two closed the doors between the
shafts, insuring thorough circula-
tion of air throughout the shaft.
MsFadden said: They probably
could not hear us coming down, but
they will feel that fresh air and know
that we are coming"
Yes interrupted Dougherty,
when we go down there in the mora
ing. we will find the boys waiting"
A group of miners about the pair
agreed with them.
The party expects today to pene,
trate every opening.
Cherry, H., Nov. 22.-The efforts to
reach the men possibly still alive in
the st. Paul mine were made in east
erly and westerly directions today.
Later an attempt was made at the
bottom at the request of President
Mcdonald of the United Mine Work
ers of Illinois and his associates. The
rain turned to snow today. Scarcely a
kinsman of the missing was at the
scene. Hnt the efforts to explore I'M
der ground continued unabated.
Dozens of volunteers worked against
exasperating odds to extend the limit
of their explorations.
Earth and coal was moved only to
be followed by other deluges from the
crumbling passages. But each check
met another desperate attack.

young Gilbert packed up few clothes
In hand bag and actually succeeded
In making an entrance to the theater

Greatly elated at receiving the mes

was face to face with the great actor.

The year 1908 was marked by
more mine horror by more LOSSES
of life under ground-than any
other year in history, and the year
1909, scarcely three week old, is ap-
parently going after last years
gruesome record.
Only last Tuesday scores of lives
were snuffed out in an explosion at
a model coal mine near Bluefield,
W. Va, and on the day before,
death enacted another terrible toll
in the Letter mines in Illinois.
The great mass of the American
people, startled by the enormous
loss of life, holds it's breath for a
moment, sheds a few tears, con-
tributes a few dollars to the fund
for the helpless widows and half
starved Orphans and proceed to for
get all about it. A few men, scien-
fists or humanitarians, ask why do
such accidents occur. How can
they be prevented? To the first
question there is no answer. To
the second the reply is 'They
cannot be prevented"

keeping up this section of the pike,
If this be true, the street of
Monterey ought to have gotten
about $50 annually from this source.
Only the records can tell when it
