CHERRY. LIS. y v. 22.-An
opening to the third vein. or lowest
level OF the st. Paul mine was forced
late tonight. and the removal Of the
bodies and the rescue of living men
impriscne in the level may begin
before daybreak. ii is said.
Tests showed the presence of air
in the lower vein. Thousands of GAL
Ions of water have been poured into
the shaft to extinguish the fire in
higher levels. With air and water
available, hope for the rescue of any
who may be alive is strong and eX-
traordinary efforts to reach the gal
lery are making. The opening that
has been cleared is a continuation
Ct the mainshaft.
Gruesome Tokens Found.
Gruesome tokens of the futile fight
for life made by the men whose
bodies were taken out of the mine
today were found near the bodies. On
the walls CT the shaft had been fash
ioned rude wooden wheels. shaped in
the fashion of ventilating fans.
Boards tern from the timbering OF
the mine had been securely nailed
or tied as vanes about the handles
CT the miGer-picks to form wheel.
These wheels the men had apparently
turned by hand to draw air to them.
Close to the fans the largest group
or dead was found.
An explorer penetrated forty feet in-
to the lowest gallery, which he found
knee deep with water. No sign Of
life was seen and no bodies lay near
the shaft This is said to indicate
that the men retreated towards the
end CT the shaft.
CHERRY, ILLS, Nov. 22.-Eforts
to reach men possibly still alive
in the St Paul mine were in vain to-
day in two parts of the underground
workings. Although excitement was
caused by the finding of dead miner
who was at first thought TO be alive,
the net result OF today's work was
the recovery of AZ codes.
Rain fell all night and during the
forenoon turned to snow.

men was at the mine today. But ef-

No Attempt at Looting.
So far there has been no attempt
at lOoting and strong guard with
loaded rifles is patroling the scene.

of a downtown livery stable owned by
