Dawson, n. NJ, Oct, 23.-At 1870
o'clock this afternoon fire had broken
out in Old No. 3 Stag canon mine,
feared that the fire would spread to
the workings in which the men are Ell.
tombed.
Revised figures show % men res.
cued alive, six bodies recovered and
dozens in sight and total of 2S4 en-
tombed by the explosion.
The identified dead include:
Arthur English.
Walter Johnson.
John Trujillo.
Felix Garcia.
Ernest Montoya.
P. Ulibarri.
OF the % miners rescued alive up to
1870 this afternoon, the greater num-
Der were seriously injured. Many had
been frightfully mangled by the explo-
sion. Nearly all were sickened by
the poisonous gases they had inhaled.
1t was stated that the ventilating
fan was not started until four hours
after the explosion, and that in the
meantime the gas probably had pene-,
trated every part of the workings. Lit
tie hope was expressed by the leaders
of the rescue parties that any of the
men still in the mine would be found
alive. A fire which was discovered
about noon in Old No. 8 mine, con-
nected with No. 2, and which it is
thought was started by the explosion
threatens to interfere seriously with
the work of the rescuers.
William McDermott, general super
intendent of the mine, has not been
found, He was among the 2S4 men
cntombed.
The work of penetrating into the
ruined workings is progressing in the
face of enormous difficulties The tun-
nels leading into No. from neighbor
ing mines were found to be complete
ly blocked, and all work has to be
done through the main entrance.
No. 9 is not shaft mine, but is enter
ed through tunnel driven directly
into the face of the mountain. Most
of the men thus far rescued, and
nearly all the bodies, have been found
i'll this tunnel, comparatively near the
entrance. The men still missing are
at least 5000 feet from the entrance.

Dawson, N NJ, Oct 23.--What is
the fate of approximately 200 men re-

entombed by terrific explosion at

the question on the lips of hundreds

as they pressed the line of guards
thrown about the mouth of the mine.
This was the unconscious incentive
that spurred hundreds of volunteer
rescuers to almost superhuman en-
deavors to penetrate workings strewn
with debris and filled with poisonous
gases. None there was who would
venture a prediction.

Trinidad Colo, Oct. 23,-Thirty

sheriff Zeke Martin. invaded the
strikers tent colony at Forbes shortly
! before daylight today and arrested
six miners on the charge of assault
! with intent to murder in connection
with the Forbes battle of last Friday
! in which one was killed and three
wounded. The warrants We're sworn

who charges that the men fired upon
him under flag Of truce and without
warning. The miners were lined up
and large number of rifles We're
contiscated The prisoners have been
lodged in the county Jail here.
Governor +. NJ. Ammons and party
left this morning for Walsenburg in
an automobile. The governor plan

make no statement concerning his
plans for ending the strike other than
lie had secured information that he
hoped would be of value.
Strikers Attack Officers.
Calumet, Mich. Oct. 23.--Copper
strikers in the Calumet district at
tackled deputy sheriffs this morning
while workmen were going to the
mines. -.
One deputy was seriously stabbed
and three others badly beaten, Four
teen Including one woman, were ar
rested. ~
The disorder, which was the most
serious in weeks in the strike zone,
is attributed by the authorities to
strike leaders, who are said to have
scored the strikers at recent meet
ing for their inactivity. Late last
night four strikers were arrested by
in Keweenaw county, it be-
ing alleged that they shot at the home
of a non-federation man at Allouez,
with the intention of intimidating
him. Two more arrests as the result
of strike activities were made at AL
louez this morning on order of Cen !
eral Abbey.

A striking feature of Mr.. Lummis's
letter is the new standard or test he
establishes for determining who is a
scientist It is: Is he in Who's Who
in America "a red book which con-
tains over 1900 names). He says:
"You will find the name of DR.. Hew-
