that the fan was again in operation.

question in the minds of nearly every
man ON the ground.
Some believed that it might arouse
a slumbering fire. Others felt sure
that the fire had been smothered and
that ventilation would clear the gal

the searchers.
In half an hour the fan was sud-

Immediately the experts We're lowered

should have been drawn down and

Suddenly a loud blast came from the
depths.

The experts were jerked to the sur

Firemen of the mine We're called and
the hose was taken down. Water was
turned on and few minutes later the
searchers came TO the top.
They accompanied mine officials
into the conference room and there
