The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1909-11-26


Barney Dougherty, miners, penetrated
120 feet into the third vein of the st.
Paul mine, accomplishing what the
rescuers have sought for eight days.
They found no dead or living men
in the gallery, but both men expressed
confidence, that majority, if not all
of the 1S9 miners imprisoned in this
vein are barricaded in pockets and
alive.
One dead mule was the only object
seen in the shaft by the explorers.
They found only few inches of water
on the gallery of the tons that have
been poured into the mine. The air,
while stagnant, was pure enough to
sustain life, the two men experiencing
no difficulty in travelling the 100 feet
from the shaft from which they en-
tered.
One of the first things done by the
men was to close a door opening be-
thorough circulation of air throughout
the shaft, which will penetrate any
barricade erected by the prisoners.
The recovery of AZ bodies during the
day was attended by some of the sad
deSt scenes of the disaster Across
the fields, as the first signals of
bodies coming up" was given, STUN
bled and labored almost 100 women
and children, who had been driven
from the shaft side by the fierce wind
and cold.
The Identification of the bodies was
a comparatively easy one. The smoke
stains and burns found on the bodies
of those taken out were absent and
physicians declared that all but few
of the men had died of asphyxiation.
Some had torn every vestige of
clothing from their bodies in their
death agony.
Among the first bodies carried out
were those Of two of the "trappers
boys" The frail bodies of the chill
dren, neither more than IA years old
were tenderly placed in the temporary
morgue by bearers who swept as bit
terly as if the children were their
own.
That many of the men had lived and
retained their faculties for many days
before the black damp crept upon
them was obvious, but physicians de-
clared unhestitatinGly that every man
had been dead for at least 4S hours
when brought up.

ings broke through a fall of earth
where it had been expected by experts
that a large number of bodies would
be found. Not one was discovered
Instead in a tool chest, hewed out OF
the earth, a great many implements
were found, as laid down, apparently
when the men came there to eat.
A fact regarded as significant was
that not dinner pail remained. From
this it was argued that the men un
able to escape when the fire was dis.
covered, retreated to some extreme
part of the mine, carrying their food
with them.
The next flame of hope came with
the discovery that the bottommost
gallery, west, was not sufficiently
flooded to impede progress.
This is the section of the mine which
formed the subject of a conference
between the union officials and Man
ager Taylor, of the mine. The dele
cation headed by President Melon

to explore the third gallery, generally
believed to be of little importance

Columbus, Ga. Jan. 9.-(SpeciAL)-- An unusual scene was witnessed to- day in the Muscogee Superior Court when E. B.

 over a dozen citizens who were members of the grand jury that in- dicted him petitioned the court to not prosecute the case. His attorney made an appeal for clemency. as did about dozen prominent and infIu- ential citizens who addressed the court.
 An attorney representing the Will liam Beach Hardware Company also asked that the case be not prosecuted.
 Judge Gilbert and Solicitor Pal. mer did not think that they could consistently not prosecute the caae. A petition that the offense be treated as for a misdsmeanor was then pre- sented and the court has 1t under con- slderation.

The five vessels composing the tor pedo iotiila, which spent the past four days in target practice at St. Joseph's Bay. reached the city this morning and gave the blue jackets shore leave. The preliminary practice of the vessels proved highly satisfactory according to statements of the men, and 1t Is ex- pected that some good records will be made during the winter. It has. been planned to bring the vessels to the city once each week so as to give the men, who are kept in a crowded con- dition on the vessels, an opportunity of getting ashore. During their visit each week, the vessels will take supplies and this will do away with the former custom of sending supplies to them from the city.
