Imprisoned by a Cave-in,

Uninjured.

Relief Gang Is Tunneling Its
WAY to Mine Victims and
Expects to Rescue Them
in Short Time.

JACKSON, Cal, Feb. 8.-Cheered by
the news over the mine telephone that
all the miners imprisoned in the
Bunker Hill shaft are still in good ply
sical condition 100 miners and other
residents of the vicinity were still
digging vigorously at noon in an ef-
fort to reach the men. They now hope
to reach the imprisoned miners late
this afternoon. The imprisoned men
telephoned that by means of ladders
they have made their way from the g.
600 foot level, where the cave in occur
red to the 1000 foot level. On this
level they were stopped by tons of
debris choking the shaft.
When the miners first reached the
telephone that was in working order
on the 1000 foot level and told the
rescuers that all we're alive several
wives of the imprisoned men, who
were at the head of the shaft, tainted
from joy. The news quickly spread
through the camp and surrounding
county and many came to take the
places of the tired workers who had
struggled all night to open the shaft.
The breaking of cable in the main
shaft caused rotted timber in the up
per levels to break and the cave-in oc.
Cured. The first crash came with
out warning at 6 o'clock last night.
MAKE SLOW PROGRESS.
JACKSON, Cal, Feb. S.-Tapping
heard I'm the Bunker Hill mine early
today assured rescuers that at least
soma Of the sixty-five men imprieoned
by the cave-in were alive.
The rescuers who had worked
through the night in relays, hoped to
reach the men by tonight. BY 9 o'clock
they had dug through thirty foot of the
forty foot mass of earth blocking the
shaft.
While the squad of miners welded
the spades in frantic haste, above the
mouth of the cavern the wives and
children and relatives of the entomb
ed miners watched, and alternately
they wept and shouted words of en-
couragement to the rescuers.
All the entombed might he saved
said the engineers. The dangerous fea
lures were poisoning of the air and
new cave-ins.
The Bunker Hill mine is one of the
oldest and most famous mines in Cali
fornia. The accident was due to the
collapse of timbers rotted with age.
Shortly before dawn q member of a
relief party which had just emerged
from the mine said that tapping
sounds made by the miners upon the
bulwark of earth which held the mer
was distinctly growing clearer. This
gave much hope to the families of the
men.

To be successful hotel clerk you

Baltimore hotel is a young man with

him to loan her an alarm clock.

you loan me an alarm clock-one

Il Will have you called at any hour
you wish." replied the clerk.
"That won't do. You might forget
1t, and besides, have no watch. and
II wake up during the night l like
to know the time"
The. clerk suggested that there was
telephone in the room, but that
would not do. so he called the house
keeper, who loaned the fair guest an
alarm clock.
