WERE BLOWN TO PIECES
Bodies of Many Victims at Primero
VIII Never Be Recovered.

Primero Col. Feb. 2.-The awful force
of the explosion, in the Primero coal
mine. which exacted a toll of 70 lives
Monday afternoon was shown this
morning as the explorers penetrated
deeper into the workings. Seven more
bodies were recovered during the night,
making a total of 50. But it is ex-
tremely improbable that the full roster
of dead will ever be given the last rites
that their families and friends would
pay, for conditions deeper in the work.
ings indicate that many were literally
blown to pieces. Pieces of the shattered
steel jacketed lamps they carried are
probably all that will ever be found.
Shreds of human flesh with these
jagged fragments of lamps were found
by the explorers this morning as they
approached the spot where the explo-
sion occurred. Fresh air has been
forced into the working for nearly a
mile. The bodies have all been taken
from entries AT, g. 9, and 10, all to
the left of the main slope, but no work
has been done in the entries to the
right of the main air course, where it
is believed many lives were lost. Ma
ture herself lent a shroud of white to
the battered fragments of human be-
ings carried to the graves this morn
ing. A binding snow storm is raging
about the little camp today adding to
the difficulties of the outside workers.

ONE HUMAN BODY FOUND
And Carcasses of Sixty-FoCr Mules in
the st. Paul Mine.

Cherry, ILL.,, Feb. 2.-The body of
one miner and the carcasses of 64 mules
were found $50 feet deep in the ST,
Paul mine today by the relay parties
of repairerS and explorers. who began
work in the burned passages last night.
1t is probable the corpse of the miner
will be brought to the surface some
time today.
The explorers during last night
stopped up all dangerous breaks in
the walls of the main runway to the
west of the main shaft on the second
level. The work was also extended to
the south as far as the airshaft, thus
opening passageway between the two
shafts of the mine. 1t was at the edge
of the shaft that the body was found.
1t lay sprawled along the runway with
hands extended toward the escape pit.
Safety could not have been found in
the airshaft. however, for it was in this
we'll that the hay blazed so f1ercely,
causing flames to leap through the
fan and melt the steel rivets.
1t was discovered today that the
third level, 500 feet below the surface,
is not full of water, as had been
thought. A stone dropped down the
elevator shaft hit the top of the cage
that ran from the third level to the
second. AS this car now rests on the
bottom of The third level the water
can not be more than five feet deep,
probably less. Pumps were installed
today to draw the water from the

The Water Is Dashing Over the
Western End
Of Lucin Cut-Off and Threaten
ing Trains.
AT HIGHEST
POINT
Within the Memory OF White
Men 1t Is Said.
Track Was Built 20 Feet Above
the Water Level.

Salt Lake City, Feb. 2.-word has
been received from ogden that the
Great Salt lake. which was said six
years ago to be disappearing, is dash
ing over the western end of the South
ern Pacific Lucin cutoff and threaten
ing the trains. The lake is higher now
than at any time within the memory
of white men. The west end of the
cutoff being six feet lower than the
rest of the causeway, is the chief dam
ger point. If the lake continues to
rise, it will be necessary to elevate
most of the piling and in the meantime
to send trains around by the old pro-
montory route.
When the Lucin cutoff was construct
ed, the track was about 20 feet above
the water level.
Scientists say that the lake rises and
recedes in cycles and that the reces
sion will soon begin.

MINERS ARE FIRM.
Demand Increase in Wage Scale in
Pittsburg District.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 2.-That the
bituminous miners of this district are
firm in their demands for an increase
in the wage scale viii; be considered
at Toledo beginning today, is the state
ment of John Driscoll, a member of
the executive board of District No. 5.
United Mine Workers of America. Mr..
Driscoll says there are about $4,000
miners in this district and they de-
mand an advance of SIS a month. They
are unable to save anything out of
their wages and can barely live owing
to the high prices of food commodi-
ties"
The wage scale agreement between
the mine workers and the operators
expires April II.

Nearly a Hundred Million in
Kansas Bank Vaults.
An Increase of Two Hundred
Twenty-Five Thousand.
A BIG SURPLUS HELD.
This Amounts to Over Sixteen
Million.
Capital Stock Also Shows q
Healthy Increase.

THE called statement for the condi-
tion of state banks of Kansas issued
December 81, 1909. shows that the state
hanks of Kansas have on deposit near
ly 100000, 900 at this time, the exact
figures being $99, 9,507,O00. which is an in
crease of practically $2,25O000 over the
deposits held by state banks the last
prior call made September 30. 1909"
said Bank Commissioner Dolley today.
This is the high water mark for de-
posits in the state banks of Kansas and
lad 1t not been for the unusual wealth
er conditions I feel safe in saying that
the deposits would have over-reached
the $100, 100000 mark by probably five or
six moliions of dollars Weather condi-
tlons have been such that in many
parts of the state the wheat crop has
not been disposed of and corn crop not
gathered and the farmers have not re-
allied on their crops. consequently have
no balance for deposit.
Capital stock employed by the state
banks of Kansas is now about S16,050.-
600. which is practically $250.OOO more
than shown by the last official call
Surplus fund shows an increase of
$175,000 over the last call, being now
S5, ,125, 900. The net profits held by state
banks at this time show an increase

total of net profits as 81, ,465, 900.

on the left bank of the river Seine, the
waters have almost wholly receded

John Burns president. of the British

from England to examine the situation
here. paid remarkable tribute to the
prodigies performed by the relief or

been particularly impressed by the
splendid courage displayed by the
poor classes in the inundated districts.
The plain below Paris as far as st.

Rodman Wanamaker has offered

The American subscriptions received

C. Frick of Pittsburg and $1,000 from
citizens of Baltimore. The grand total
of American subscriptions now exceeds
$3.50, 900, the largest sum contributed by
any foreign country.

A JOKE, SAYS STUBS.
Governor Not Sick Nor Will He Enter

What sanitarium are you newspaper
boys going to send me to?" asked Gov
ernor Stubs today, speaking of the
erticle in the morning paper to the eff
feet that he was going east to submit
to an operation ''You should have
picked the hospital, since you have al
ready decided to send me there
Then speaking in a more serious vein,
the governor declared that the report
was started without any foundation
whatever. 81 have not laid off from
work or business over a week at a time
in the past ten years." he said 81

The city officials do not pelieve that
it would be practicable to use the coffer
dams suggested by ex-City Engineer
John P. Rogers. 1T would take dam
IT'S feet wide and 200 feet long to en-
close these pipes said the superin-
tendent. This would dam the river
and anyway before a force of men
could build a dam of this kind we
would be able to find the leak
Mayor Green says that it is impos-
sible to make small Golfer dams
around the individual pipes because
of their connections. 1T would be
out of the question to think of en-
closing all of those pipes separately
when there would be no way to get
around the connecting pipes. In max
of pipes there is not pump in the
country big enough to get out the
water,
The only thing that the officials
can promise Is WOThf 1n6y say
that they will make every effort pos
sible to find the leaks and plug them
up. After the leak is once found it
will be a simple matter of placing a
plug in the pipe and then pumping
the water from the dry wells as for
merly.
Out at Washburn college one of the
fraternity houses has been turned into
regular hospital. They boil their
water and still it has affected the
stomach. Complaints from every sec
! ton of the city tell the same story.
Topeka is a mammoth hospital.
The distilled water companies have
placed extra wagons in service to
supply the demand for their water.
The water cannot be delivered fast
enough to the people. Those in the
outlying districts who have good wells
and cisterns are accommodating a

hourly and the well water of a good
sized city is a dangerous proposition
during such crisis.
