That they were low in the order Of
human life was apparent at a glance.
They were maneaters. Their faces

distended to accommodate wooden
plugs and sticks, pipes, and all manner
Of barbaric ornaments. Their faces
and bodies were tattOOed or SCARED in
hideous designs. In their sickness
they wore no clothing, not even loin
clouts, though they retained their shell
armlets, their bead necklaces and their
leather belts, between which and the
skin were thrust naked knives. The
bodies Of many were covered with hOr-

bringing the cold sweat out upon the
forehead. Something has gone
amiss down below, and dread uncer-
tainty and suspense hanging in the
air make the man on top nervous
with apprehension; but long ap-
premiership impels him to do the one
thing which is required, and that is
to get relief to the men below with
out loss of time.
The cages act on a counterbalance,
so that one is always at the
bottom of the shaft. After a
few moments of interminable si-
lence there came one bell to hoist;
end at the 1900 the signal was re-
ceived to stop. Another bell to raise
the cage was sounded; shortly after,
two bells sounded to stop. There was
some delay, and then again came the
signal to hoist
Had those on top only known the
conditions down below, they would
have rushed the cage at topmost
speed to the surface; but only the
usual time was made, without the
knowledge that the unfortunate min
ers clinging to the cage were being
dragged through the terrors and
fires of hell that every moment was
most precious for the safety of their
lives. Seven men were on the cage
when the start was made for the sur
face. Five men reached the top, and
one of these was dead.

upward journey of the cage were Dan

Disposition of the Remains of
Victims Who Were Brought
TO the Surface
G|LMORE's CASE WAS SADDES1
LEFT WIDOW AND son, WHO
WITH CHIEF ENGINEER SALE
ACCOMPANIED THE BODY TO
BUTTE.

The dead men were all well known
in the district with the exception of
John McNulty, who had arrived only
a short time before from Butte. Tim
Gilmore came here originally from
Butte, but had been with the Gil
roux for several years. He was
shift boss on the fatal shift. He was
the only married man among the
dead, and his widow and little son,
with Chief Engineer A. ]. Sale of the
Giroux, accompanied the remains to
Butte, leaving on Friday morning.
Tom Odalovich was perhaps the
best known man in the district of
all of those whose lives went out in
the fire of Wednesday night. He
had been in the district about six
years, had been in business at differ
ent times in Ely and in Riepetown,
and had worked off and on in the Gil
roux. He had returned to work
only the day before the fire and was
on his second shift when death over
took him. He was well liked for his
splendid manly qualities, and was
popular with all. He was member
of the knights of Phythias and the
Eagles under whose auspices he was
buried at 2:30 yesterday afternoon.
