hours, April q and - last, as the
result of a series of earth tremors,

mine when we felt the first shock.

never had experienced an earthquake
before, but l knew at once what it
was. Both of US were thrown against
the wall of the tunnel. AS soon as
we could gain our balance, we ran for
the tunnel mouth. When we had gone
about 20 feet, stones and earth were
pouring into the tunnel from above
and I saw we never could make it.
I turned and ran back and collided
with Cole, who was behind me. We
Then we turned and looked back. The
whole entrance to the tunnel was
blocked.
"Cole said: ED, we're finished. It's
got us now

in the tunnel. We had been just
about to fire our blasts when I went
into the tunnel, and ever tool, every
piece of steel, had been taken out.

which we used later to tap on rail,
but that was all.
eve calculated we had air enough
to last US six hours. and until the
men outside got air in to US we did
not even light a match, in order to
save all the air that was fit to breathe
as long as possible. Cole had watch
with a radiant dial and we could tell
the time by that.
eve sat on the ground because we
seemed more comfortable down low,
and tapped on the mine tinbers with
a rock. After two hours the men out
side heard US and tapped back. Man,
maybe you think that wasn't vel

for granted they would 90 to work
to get us out right awav. and. of
course, they did. They thought we
were dead, though, until they heard
the tapping. :.
"First the men outside tried to dig
us out through the entrance to the
tunnel, but they soon found the earth
and boulders slipped into the tunnel
about as fast as they dug it ought.
Then they started to drive shaft
in from above to reach the tunnel
They got hole through with an au-
per, and I tapped on the auger with
the pliers. and then there was anothe1
shock and the hole caved in. Every
one of the six succeeding shocks
brought down dirt from the hillside
into that hole, until after four hours
after the first one had entombed us
the air inside was pretty bad. The

men outside left the auger in the hole
all the time, and they thought air
was filtering in to us along it. But
fine dirt would sift along the auger
and block even the smallest holes.

gan to feel that tight sensation across
the face, just before the eyes, and
wer were pretty dizzy by that time.
Cole said, "What are you doing, Ed?'
and I said, 4 am going to lie down.
We were more comfortable as we got
closer to the floor. eW didn't talk
much. We weren't excited. What was
he use? We knew the boys outside
were doing al lthey could, so we just
stayed there. Finally there came a
stirring in the pile of muck that we
were laying on and here came the
end of a pipe. The men had driven
the pipe through the dirt into the
tunnel. A plug had been forced dowr
through it. One of the men asked
me if l could take the plug out, anc
I said, No. and they drove roc
in from the front and got the plus

"They asked US how we were max

make a very noticeable difference in
the appearance OF the white ways
Although the country needs now
and as long as the war lasts will neet
more coal than It can possibly pro-
duce and transport, reports received
here show that electricity Is being
wasted in large quantities in the pro-
duction OF light for advertising. street
and store illumination and similar pur-
poses. The same story Is told In the
reports received from city. town and
village.
The amount OF public lighting in any
community will be limited to just what
may be necessary for safety. Unnec-
essary daylight use OF electric lights
and electric advertising displays will be
barred altogether in all probability and
theatres will not be allowed to fash
their signs until street lights shall have
been turned on. Cluster lights will be
taboo and the employment OF store win
