Little Hope for Men
F.: in Burning Mine.

Possibility That Some Of Those

Out Alive.
RESCUERS HEAR NOISES

Eccles, w. Va, April 3O-Hope that
some of the It's miners imprisoned in
mine No. of the New River Col
beries company. wrecked with mine
No. by an explosion, might still be
alive stirred the throng on the noun
tain side.
A rescue party, driven out of No. 6,
reported they had heard sounds as of
dig ging beyond the barriers OF debris
choking the connecting entry. A par
ty of fresh miners was hurried into
the entry and attacked the fallen mass
Of rock with renewed vigor.
Eight bodies have been recovered
and sixty-seven miners have been
taken out alive.
Earlier in the day Governor Hatfield
and Chief Inspector Earl Henry head
ed party of mining engineers and
superintendent in an effort to enter
No. 5. They were compelled to give
up the attempt because of obstruc-
items.
The crew from rescue car No. Z of
the bureau of mines had been steadily
at work since it's arrival and many ex-
perienced miners from the surround
ing country have been organized by
the government engineers so that the
work OF clearing away to the buried
men may proceed with the least pos
slble interruption.
Great Crowd Waits Silently.
twenty-five doctors have arrived
here and a carload of collins came in.
A great crowd had collected on the
mountain, silently waiting until the
galleries of No. 5 are unsealed and
their tragic story stold. s,s *. .
The entrances to the mines are far
apart, but the workings join under
ground. When the dust exploded in
mine No. 5 the fumes entered No. 6
shaft and there the known dead were
killed. Prompt measures taken by
Superintendent Thomas Donaldson re-
suited in the rescue of sixty-seven
from No. shaft. Improvised hospi-
tals here and at BeckIey are crowded.
Physicians and surgeons from four
counties have reached Eccles to assist
Governor Hatfield and the state au-
thorities in caring for the injured.
Most of the miners are American
born, although there quite a num-
Der of foreign born workers. OF the
bodies recovered eight were white
Americans, one negro, and two for
eign born.
The explosion was terrific. A rumb-
ling noise was heard through the town
and as residents rushed to the en-
frances OF the mines, timbers, piece of
cars and other debris shot from the
mouth of No. 5 shaft.
Many of those rescued said they
were overcome by the gas fumes be-
fore they knew what had happened.
'che first man to leave the mine shafts
climbed to the surface OF No. 6 hand
over hand on a rope.

OUR MEXICAN WAR OF 1876

Brooklyn Eagle: In 1916, James K.
Polk being president, the United
States had a population Of less than
100000, slightly in excess of the
present population of Mexico. Mexico
had then a population Of little moro
than 100000. The ratio was then
approximately S to in our favor. If
we have 90,000,O00 now and Mexico
has 15,0O0,000, the ratio is 6 to 1.
Then, as now, our navy absolutely
dwarfed that of Mexico, which had
three briggs, two steamers, Is smaller
vessels, and total of only AZ guns.
The United States had 10 ships Of the
line, 13 frst-class and two second-class
frigates, % sloops of war, II steamers,
nine schooners, eight briggs and four
store ships.
Mexico, then as now, was split by
dissension. Two months before our
first move on the disputed territory
between the Nueces and the Rio
Grande, Yucatan had broken out and
declared her independence. Four
revolution, beginning at Vera Cruz,
deposed Paroles, and brought back
Santa Anna. The first real battle op-
posite Matamoras, between 1000
Americans under Zachary Taylor and
5000 Mexicans, was on May and 9,
1916. We had 48 killed. The Mexi-
can 3 dead numbered 262. Three days
later Congress declared war.
Gen. SCOTS forces after hot fight
ing at Vera Cruz and a series of en-
gagements on the way, had a pitched
battle with II; 900 Mexicans at Moline
Del Rey, the enemy being under the
personal command of Santa Anna.
This was September 8, 1847. Within
five days the City Of Mexico had fall
On. and on September II, a contribu-
tion of $4,000 was levied on the
city. On December 81, when nearly
all the centers Of population were in
eur hands, We levied on the Mexican
states q military contribution of al
most $3,000,000. The treaty of peace,
Guadalupe Hildago, was signed Feb
ruary 2, 1848. # was amended by the
Senate in Washington, and was not
formally ratified until May 80, l848.
BY its terms, there was a vast in
crease in the territory Of the United
States.
It took 81 months to bring Mexico
to her knees in the former war. It
should not take so long now, partly
because of our far greater proportion.

OF INTEREST TO HUNTERS.

The Conservation Commission is edu-
eating the people OF Louisiana on the value
of Mons game birds and how to tell non
game birds from game birds, and how to
hunt game birds without violating the
law.
A good many hunters seem to need ed
ucaton also i'm regard to hunting licenses.
The parish license, costing 80 cents, Is re-
quired by every hunter in his parish un-
less he hunts only in his ward; and the
State license, costing S., if he hunts out
side of his parish. The market hunting
license cost $40. Buying the license, how
ever, is only part OF the requirement with
the law. 1t must be remembered that a
license does not give the hunter the right
to kill game except in strict accord with
the law. He must not kill any kind OF
game in ITS close season, nor kill over the
limit nor kill game in any illegal manner.
The game laws divide the birds OF the
State into three classes as follows:
Game birds (geese, brandt, ducks gros-
bees, rails, coots, gallinules, snipe, wood
cock, sandpipers, tatlers, curlews, plov-
ers, wild turkeys, quail, doves and red
winged black BIRDS open season, Nov.
Feb. 10.
Outlaws turkey buzzard, black vulture,
duck hawk, Cooper hawk, sharp-shinnet
hawk, great horned owl, English sparrow
and crows and crow black birds, or crack
les, when destructive to crops and king
fishers when nesting in levees)-No pro.
lection: may he killed at any time.
Non-game birds (All birds except thost
in the above two classes)-NO open sea
son, must not be killed at any time.
A good many hunters seem TO be unde
the impression that when the hunting sea
son is open, they do not have to be a
careful as during the closed season Of
: game birds. From the above explanation
however, it will be seen that it is as nue.
against the law to kill Inorganic bir
during the hunting season as at any 9th
er time. Under the law, the bluebird
mockingbird, robin, meadowlark, fllcke
and all other birds Of the non-ganl
class are as safe from the hunter in Dt
cember as a quail i'm June.
In the same way, at the beginning
the deer or squirrel season, any kind I
game bird is perfectly safe from thu hui
ter who obcys the law.

DEER SEASON EXTENDED TO Jan. 2, 1915.

Tile Conservation Commission of Louis
lana has issued the following circular
letter, in which it will be seen that the
open season for hunting deer has been
extended to January 2nd, 1915. The
letter is published for the interest of
sportsmen.
New Orleans, Dec. ~, 1914.
Dear Sir:-The Conservation Com
mission, at its meeting of the Board
Thursday, December 10th, passed reso-
luton extending the season for the kill
ing of deer until January End, 1915.
In taking this action, the Conservation
Commission desires to call attention to
the fact that the open season for the kill
ing of deer will be re-adjusted before the
beginning of another hunting season.
The Commission had concluded that the
present date as fixed by the Commission
1 is unsatisfactory i'm so far as the season
opens too soon to give proper protection
| to the young fawns and doe allowing
them to be caught before they are suffi-
GENTLY able to protect themselves. In
extending the present season to January
2nd, the Commission asks the co-opera-
ton of the sportsmen in bringing about
stricter observance of the laws for the
protection Of deer and their cooperation
in bringing the season to close at the
date now fixed.
The Commission is determined to give
a greater protection to the deer OF the
State where it is possible to do so.
Yours very truly
CONSERVATION COMMISSION OF
LOUISIANA.
