MINE AGAIN
A SETTLING.
FURNACE
Entry by Rescuers Now
impossible Probable it
Will be Sealed for Good

CHERRY, Ills, Nov 25.-After
more than $50 bodies had been dis
covered in the st. Paul mine early
today, efforts to carry them to the
surface were temporarily abandoned
while battle was begun to check a
fire that again threatened the main
shaft.
If efforts to control the fire are
not successful tomorrow it is prob
able that the mine viii be sealed and
remain so for weeks If not months
Today flames from the fire in the
second vein, 80 feet below the sur
face, had swept fifty feet up the
main shaft. Then the fire was forced
back. Mine Manager Taylor says
that destruction of the main shaft
is at all times imminent and with it
will go the only possibility of re-
moving bodies. That no men sur
vive in the mine is now generally
conceded even by the most optimis-
tic. The only part, of the mine as
yet unexplored, and in which living
men possibly could be found, is the
east working of the second vein, at
the entrance of which the fire is
burning fiercely.
Twice rescuing parties that have
ventured past the fire area, however,
have been temporarily cut off by the
flames and rescued with difficulty.
No further attempt to venture into
the fire zone will be made until the
fire is extinguished which may be a
work of days.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Nov. "a
Regarding reports about contro-
versies having arisen at Cherry be-
tween state mine inspectors and own
ers of the mines, Governor Deneen
tonight received the following tele-
gram from w. w. Taylor an official
of the mine:
Notwithstanding rumors to the
contrary, the state mine inspectors

have been at all times, and are now,
working in perfect harmony. The
situation is grave, but all are doing
all in our power to control the situa-
tion. The conduct of the people on
