Duluth, Minn., March f3.--Captain
Benny. of the Elba mine at Gilbert,
Mimi. who, with two dozen miners,
was entombed in a shaft $50 feet be-
low the surface yesterday by cave
in, was rescued alive this morning and
taken to his home. He was seriously
injured The miners, however, met
what must have been instant death, as
the bodies were crushed and bruised
in horrible shape. That Captain
Benny is alive is considered a marvel.
His condition is reported as extreme
ly critical.
Physicians are at his bedside, max
ing every effort to restore him.
The bodies, crushed almost into an
unrecognizable mass, had been re-
covered at 6 o'clock tonight from the
Norman Open Pit mine where the
cavern occurred, burying twenty-six
miners.
The other fifteen bodies have been
reached and the mine officials are
bending every effort to expedite rescue
work. There Is no hope that any 9TH
ers viii be taken out alive.
TO hasten the work additional
"clams" have been sent for and those
capable of lifting many tons of ore
win, 1t is thought, bring to light the
missing bodies. The ten bodies thus
far recovered lie at a morgue which
has been beseged all afternoon by
wives, children and relatives of the
dead men.
The catastrophe is attributable, II Is
said, to the thaws of the last few
days suddenly loosening boulders and
earth and forcing the ore body to
slide toward the bottom of the pit,
Officials and miners are non-commt-
tai regarding the accident and a COR
don of guards is stationed about the
works TO prevent entrance TO those
who are not identified with the plant.
The only information obtainable Is
that gathered from the rescuers.
II was estimated by some tonight
that it may require two days before
all the bodies are recovered.
According to a statement given out
by the Oliver Mining company. that
five bodies had been taken out this
! afternoon from the mine, eight known
dead were still in the mine, one was
accounted for and four injured. Ao-
cordinR to the information more es-
capped than was supposed Saturday
might The company officials be-
| lieve that no more than eighteen men
! lost their lives.
| w. j. Olcott and several other Of
| ficials of the Oliver Mining company,
left Duluth this morning by special
| train for the scene of the accident.
They spent the greater part of the
day there and returned tonight.
Although suffering from broken
rib and broken shoulder blade and
exhausted from partial suffocation,
Captain Benny, when taken to the top
Of the shaft, insisted on returning to
aid in rescuing the workmen still en-
| tombed. He was finally prevailed
upon to go to his home and receive
medical attention. He said that his
ribs had been crushed in by the weight
of the timbers piled upon him and
that he had broken his shoulder blade
in an effort to extricatc himself.

Bargains in Pews

Ministers have so many things to worry
about that it is pretty hard to add the
bargain-hunting habits Of their Pensioners
to their other cares but some Of them are
doomed TO shoulder that extra burden. Old
members Of the congregation are not likely
10 go out hunting cut-rate pews In other
churches, but newcomers who are just de-
Gliding upon a church home all do Il.
"A reduction OF & a year in pew rent
will fetch the bargain hunter every time, "
said a New York sexton. only last week
an upstate woman who expects 20 make
her home in New York concluded that OF
all city churches OF this denomination she
liked ours best and would take a pew here,
but when she found she could get a pew
that suited her about as well In another
church for 50 a year less she let all other
considerations go by the board and iden.
titled herself with that church. The cut
rate pew hunter Is a recognized feature OF
modern church life here. Because a new
member elects TO join our congregation
does not at all signify that ne shares oul
religious convictions or likes the pastel
and our service; II may mean that W,
charge less for the pew he likes than an
other church up street'-New York Sun
