Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 23.-Hope that
miners are alive In the lowest level
was blasted this morning when all
the tunnels of that vein were ex
plored by Supt. r. NJ, Hill, OF the
Spring Valley Mine company. He
led a party OF rescuers and said no
more attention will be paid to the
lowest level until II IL certain none
are alive on the second level There
were no signs of life in the lowest,
but many dead bodies were found
There was no effort to bring them
up. Rescuers had just returned from
the last trip when FIRE broke out
anew in the second level, threatening
the main shaft.
Believe Men Are Alive.
Despite the report OF Superintend-
ent Hill. who explored the lowest
level. that the miners there are all
dead, Archibald Frew and Barney
Dougherty, who accompanied him, de-
clare they are sure the men are still
alive there. "The water Is only knee
deep and the air Is good" they said.
I'VE were able to go quite a distance
back into the tunnel and found places
where there was no water. In the
soft earth we discovered fresh foot
prints. The tracks Indicated that the

the FIRE first broke out. came back to
the airshgft when the air cleared and
with picks aud shoyels hammered the
sides OF the shaft as a signal to the
men above. We traced them as far
as We dared. We shouted and thought
we heard a returning shout. We
shouted again. but there was no re-
spouse. We believe the men are alive
down there"
There Will be no more private
funerals here. The condition OF the
latest bodies recovered from the mine
is such that the Illinois state health
board has ordered all buried within
six hours by the authorities. The
only deviation Is that the bodies may
be shipped to other cities in metal
caskets The women and children
will not be allowed 10 go to the burial
place. They must gaze on the faces
