 eve got to the base of the second vein," said Inspector Taylor on reach ing the surface, "and though we could see little. we found no excessive tenn perature. It was apparent that tho fire had not penetrated deeply into the mine. We could see no sign of flames. If the temperature throughout the sec ond vein is no more excessive than there, then in the deeper and farther recesses of the mine it is probable that there may be oxygen enough to keep the men alive We saw no trace of men. either dead or alive. Tomor- row I think we can proceed further into the mine with safety"
 Cherry, H.. Nov. 14.-When explora- tions were abandoned tonight it was announced that men fitted with oxygen armor would probably penetrate to tho bottom of the mine tomorrow.

coRoNER's INQUEST.
Engineers Obedience of Orders May Have Caused Death of Rescuina Party Saturday. t.t


 Cherry, H., Uov 14.-Implicit obe- dience by Engineer John Cowley to orders of his superior may have caused the death ofthe rescuing party which went down into the St. Paul mine yes terday.
 At the coroner's inquest. which be- gan today, Cowley who is. an engineer of the main shaft, testified that he de- clined to accede to the demand of per- sons standing at the top of his shaft that he at once lift the cage contains ing the rescuers. The reason he de- clined he said was because he had been told by the third vein boss. Alex ander Nosberg. to move the cage only In answer to the regular bell code.
 Refused to Hoist the Cage.
 When the rescue party had been at the bottom of the shaft some time without getting in communication with the engineer by the usual means Mar tin Powers, Dr. Howe and Herbert Lewis. the last named a brother of one of the rescue party. rushed to Cowley. SO the engineer testified. They de- manded that the cage be raised imme- diatelys
 Cowley refused. acting under orders from Nosberg. the witness told the coroner's jury. For a space of time, which Cowley declares was perhaps ten minutes ne would not listen 10 their frantic appeals. but finally he re- ferred the matter to John Quinby of the top cage. Quinby hesitated, and as Machinist John Chadester entered. Cowley asked Chadester what should be done
 All ptsd or Dying When Cage Rsaeh-
 ed Surface.
 "Go ahead and raise it," answered Chadester. according to Cowley's testi- mony. nobody is alive down there"
 Cowley then brought the cage to the top but every one of the men in the rescue party was either dead or dying when they reached the top.
 Cowley defended himself on tho stand by saying he had received Nos berg's order to await the bell signal before moving the cage. and that tho three men who demanded that the cage be raised had no authority to tell what to do.
 According to Cowley. he feared in raising the cage he would risk injur- ing some of the men below, or that he might leave them without means of escape should he lift the cage while they were, not in 1t.

The people of the counties in wes-
tern Kentucky where fuor spar is plen-
tiful are watching with much interest
the action of congress in the hope that
a stiff duty may be placed on fuor spar
imported into this country. They say
that if this is done it will result in an
immediate rise in that product and that
the many deserted mines will take on
new life and the business will thrive as
it did few years ago. At one tine,
not so very long ago, these counties
enjoyed Doom when fiuor spar, lead
and zinc were being mined. Big mills
were erected for crushing the spar and
separating it from the lead and zinc.
Property values took jumn am every
thing was album with activity and ev-
erybody was prosperous. Then the
foreign countries began importing spar.
They mined it in vast quantities and
ocean vessels would transport it for
almost nothing, frequently taking it
aboard to be used as ballast. with no
duty to pay. On top of all this they
flooded the market and prices dropped
accordingly and much of the life and
energy of the business departed. Those
interested are praying that Senator
Bradley's amendment calling for
duty of SO per ton duty on fuor spar
may become law, and say that if it
does it means the old-time activity in
the Kentucky spar fields.
