TWO MEN BURIED
SEVERAL HOURS
RUN OF DIRT AT THE CARPENTER
MINE CAUSED MUCH WORRY
WORKED HARD TO FREE THEM
All of the Crew Set at Work to
Release the imprisoned Ones and
Record Work Was Done

! Two men, an italian and Finn,
were shut In hy a run Of ground at the
I Carpenter mine last Wednesday night
The run occurred OH the last half OF
the shift about three o'clock in the
morning and caused a great deal on
alarm at first as 10 was not known
whether thc mon had been buried MP
or had simply been trapped in the
drift back of the fan of dirt
After working for "A time communi-
cation WAS established between the
worlmeu and the two men and then
efforts to release the men were re-
doubled. The amount of dirt that FELL
was placed at about 500 tons and IL
kept the crew busy until about eight
o'clock In the morning before the
opening had been made whereby the
two imprisoned men might be Neleased
AS soon as the accident occurred
every available man was set at work
removing the dirt and Captain Greer
took active charge of the rescue work
The men worked like beavers. the
common method being to work in re-
lays in such eases SO that a man for
the few hours that he * shoveliug Is
right at the peak end of his energy
every second
The TWO mems fears were quietened
as soon as they learned that their
comrades were working TO rescue
them and when COMMUNICATION was
established they felt better still but
their fears were not wholly quieted
until they were brought to surface and
again beheld the light OF day
Many Accidents Lately
The revival in mining has brought
revival in the number Of accidents. It
Is estimated that there are 5000 men
at work in this county. $500 from
Chicogau lake west and 1900 in the
Crystal Falls district This number
viii be increased TO fully 5000 when
the Corrigan Mckinney mines on this
side get their full quota going. With
that number of men Il IS but natural
that THE number or accidents should
increase Last year and the year be
tore there were about half of the num-
bor OF mem working that are at work
today and accidents were not very rrc-
quent so the people of the county had
gotten TO De accustomed to few acct
dents in their mines
So Far tlis year there 1--we been
more fatal accidents than ,,c had az
together last year Accidents win
happen in the simplest and most nm
expected ways imaginable. Iu times of
rush, such as tho present, men seem
60 forget That caution that they carry
with them in times of ease and they
take many chances that they would not
take otherwise The mining companies
aud the mine inspector are giving
more attention right now TO safeguard
ing their employees than they ever did
in the history of the industry and the
number of accidents is kept down
greatly thereby
Underground accidents are tile re-
suits. in almost all cases, Of a lack OF
personal Judgment Men gamble with
death and they must expect TO have
some losses

INABILITY TO GET INTO ESCANABA
HARBOR IS GIVEN AS REASON
NO BOATS FOR HILLTOP ORE
Shiuments of Ore From Iron Co.
Mines in 1915 Show a Big Re-
versaI From Previous Year

Word came over the wire early IN
Tho week from North Western head
quarters. that tie shipments OF iron
ore which IL was proposed 20 make
nom the Gogebic range 60 Escanaba
eltouid be postponed indefinitely ori-
einnlly il was the intention to start
shipments ON March l5 Then they
were postponed until March - and
now IL Is nor known just when they
will commence.
All arrangements had been made
and there is much disappointment
among tile train men al the delay in
getting the ore moving. The Palatka
wards had been cleared of ore cars so
as TO make plenty OF room for the
handling of the trains on the main
line and much expense was incurred
ali along the line.
IL is claimed by some that the
principal reason for the delay is the
inability OF the boat people to get the
Escanaba harbor cleared OF ice. The
crushing OF ice this early I'm the year
is d difficult task and especially so in
comparatively small bay like that
upon which Escanaba Is situated
No Boats for Hilltop Ore
The new owners Of the Hilltop mine
are unable to get any tonnage in
which to carry their ore from Escana-
ba 10 lower lake ports and for that
reason they are in no great hurry TO
get their mine equipped. Machinery
Is ordered and Is on the way and will
be put in place when IT arrives. Had
the company been able to get tonnage
there would have been rush 10 get
some ore to the docks but now they
will take their time and when the
mine Is ready for operation It will be
fully equipped In every way.
The water is being kept OUT but
nothing else IS being done at the /
present time and nothing will be done
until the machinery arrives

Now See If You Can Tell Which Fair
One He Selected.
A certain Turk, according to the
story, was once married to a yelled
lady in white in the presence Of the
sultan. As soon as the ceremony was
concluded the bride mysteriously dis
appeared.
The groom was led into an adjoining
room, where stood twelve ladies all
dressed in white. but without wells.
Choose from the twelve" exclaimed
the sovereign. her that is your bride"
As the man had never seen her face
the command bewildered him.
"If you make a mistake" added his
majesty, "your life shall pay the for
feit''
The poor man walked up and down
the row of beauties, but saw nothing
whatever to aid his choice.
e You have only a minute left yell
ed the sultan in anger CHOOSE at

Ten of the ladies. the man noticed,
gave him nothing else than a stony
stare. One of the remaining two
frowned, the other smiled. 1.-The
frowning one," he thought, sis my
bride, for she expresses her displeas-
ure and impotence at, my ignorance.
NO" he said to himself; 'it must be
the smiling one, for she desires to in
wife me to her"
After debating the subject in his
mind until his time was up he boldly
made a selection from the two. He
was successful. He had regained his
bride. Which. was she-the one who
frowned or the one who smiled?

Machine Guns.

Machine guns are really rifles with
mechanical feed, which supplies them
rapidly with cartridges. In all modern
patterns they are automatic in action
The gas produced by the explosion or
shock of the recoil opens the breech,
elects the spent cartridge, loads the
rifle closes. the breech and fires the
charge. These complicated operations
are carried out with extraordinary
speed. To give an example: The Max
i'm can fire at least $50 rounds min
ute, or more than seven shots per sec

and :cleyerly operated can discharge
