poisoned in Germany during his in

The famous publishers physicians
are frankly puzzled over his COM

say his recovery is unlikely, and
even though he escapes death from
the present illness. he will never

Close friends OF Northcllffe are
inclined to discount the story he
was poisoned, pointing out that his
presence in Germany was generally
unknown until after his arrival
back in England.

to Reach Men Trapped

Jackson, Cal, Sept. 3.--Although
it was week ago that fire entombed
~ men in the lower workings OF the

work of rescue went forward tonight
as rapidly as at any time since the
plight of the miners was discovered,
Until they know their fellows are
dead the miners will keep on.
Nearly 1000 feet under ground
men were working in Commute shifts

than necessary for two men TO work,
to open tunnel from manway once
connecting the adjoining Kennedy
mine and the Argonaut workings.
They were at the hardest part of
the toll that has occupied them for
four days-driving through green
stone. They had 90 feet Of this to
penetrate when they finished reopen
ing the usable part of the old man
way Saturday night. Tonight they
had but 50 feet and hoped by the
TIM the first "a hours work in it was
done, to show five or six feet more
progress.
Once through the green stone these
men must open a rise for about Is
feet through a quartz formation to
reach the Argonaut workings. The
quartz is expected TO permit more
rapid progress, but engineers here
estimated it would be Thursday or
later before the opening was made.
Meanwhile 800 feet lower in the
Kennedy, another crew was strug-
Cling desperately to clear choked
and abandoned tunnel that once con-
