EVERY EFFORT TO SAVE

Cherry. ILL.,, Nov. 17.-Before night

800 men entombed in the ST. Paul mine
will be ascertained. This morning it

mine since the fire on Saturday last.
to raise the cover Of the hosting shaft
and lower a cage OF rescuers to the
third vein. where, IL alive, the men now
400 feet below the surface are wait
ing.
Late last night the air shaft, the only
opening besides the hosting shaft,
was Theoretically sealed. From the
time the descent to the second vein
was made in buckets, q force Of la
borers were worked until near mid
layers Of heavy plank and sand.
Athwart the opening of the hosting
shaft on the top lies a pile Of planks
three feet high and tons of sand make
the seal practically alright.
All night a few Of h anxious men
and women surrounded the openings
bitterly AZ the sealing Of the shaft
seemed to cut off all air. While 1t was
true that the air would be shut of,
mining oficials declared that the men,
II alive. would not be affected by the
total sealing except that 1t would prob
ably put an end to the fire still smould-
ering in the timbers and thus leave
more necessary oxygen for the men.
Al Probably Dead.
David Ross, secretary of the state
labor commission. who arrived here
yesterday. declared last night 1t was
extremely improbable any n would
be found living. Richard Newsam,
president OF the state minine board,
said that 1t would be a miracle II one
man had been spared.
Yesterdays attempts to send men to
the bottom proved futile. because they
could not reach a foothold at the en-
trance of the galleries from the buckets
In which they were lowered.
Under direction of James Taylor,
state mine inspector of the Third dis
trict. and President Newsam. the reg
ular cage will be lowered. It fits the
! shaft like a piston and the persons II
will carry can step from it into any
gallery entrance. Mrs. Fannie Buck
wife Of j. p. Buck, chief clerk of the
mine. has organized the women Of the
little town of Cherry into a society tc

Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 17.-Hope has all

Air Is All Exhausted.
That every bit of life giving air had
been exhausted many hours ago was
declared certain.
Three descents were made, but no
signs OF life was seen, and the rescuers
declared that no life could exist for
hundreds of feet beyond the shaft en-

were seen-tragic tokens of the first
rush for safety by the miners who es-
capped. but no bodies were found.

+. j. Hartman of kooskia who is
associated with G. A. Day and other
Chicago capitalists who are going to
put in the million dollar pulp mill at
that point, was in this city last Satur-

In conversation Mr.. Hartman said:
'lt is our purpose to have the
tract surveyed and plated at once,
though lots will not be placed on the
market for sale for some time to
come" said Mr.. Hartman. sour
object is to segregate about % acres
of this ground from the original tract,
which will be used for our mill and
power plant, which will be erected as
soon as our associates in the east can
come to kooskia to complete the
arrangements.
Associated with Mr.. Day and my
self are Jack Wills of Kooskia and
w. J. Bell Of Newago, Mich. Mr..
Bell is superintendent of the Newago-
Portland Cement company and is also
now in charge of the building of al
extensive cement plant in Ogden,

al charge of the construction details
for the power plant and pulp and
paper mill at Kooskia, and expects to
reach here the latter part of August
to look over the situation.

a number of eastern capitalists who
are interested with him in other EN-
terprises also will visit here at the
same time, when definate announce

pany will be made

events Of the day in which he was
sold out and Alaska dropped from so

suggested Reinhards in reaching for

possession of the ticket, the face value
of which was many thousand dollars
less than the value of the article

minutes, after Reinhardt had done
some rapid telephoning, Alaska drop
ped to Is and Silverman was sold out.
A mild hammered man who was
present while Silverman was telling
the foregoing incident said: "Why

In 1872 there was a great deal of
diarrhoea dysentery and cholera in
fantum. 1t was at this time that
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and

brought into use. 1t proved more
successful than any other remedy or
treatment, and has for thirty-five
years maintained that record From
the small beginning its sale and use
has extended to every part Of the
United States and to many foreign
countries. Nine druggists out of ten
will recommend it when their opinion
is asked, although they have other
medicines that pay them greater
