EVERY EFFORT TO SAVE
ALL LIVES POSSIBLE

Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 17.-Before night
fall 1t seems probable the fate Of the
300 men entombed in the st. a mine
will be ascertained. This morning it
was the plan of the state mining Of
ficials, who have taken charge Of the
mine since the fire on Saturday last,
to raise the cover of the hosting shaft
and lower a Gag Of resCuers to the
third vein. whore. If 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, a force Of la
borers were worked until near mid
night covering up the entrance with
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 the anxious men
n women surrounded the openings
Of the mine. The women complained
bitterly as the sealing Of the shaft
seemed to cut off all air. While 1t was
true that the air would be shut off,
mining officials declared that the men,
If alive, would not be affected by the
total sealing except that 1t would prob
ably put an end to the fire still smould-
erlng IN the jumpers anu mus lSdNe
more necessary oyvTen for the men.
All Probably Dead.
David Ross, secretary of the state
labor commission, who arrived here
yesterday, declared last night It was
extremely improbable any one would
be found living. Richard Newsam,
president of the state minino board,
said that it would be a miracle If one
man had been spared.
Yesterdays attempts to send men to
the bottom proved futile, because they
could not rea.h 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. 1t fits the
shaft like a piston and the persons II
will carry can step from 1t 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

needing it. At present there is no des-
