Continue Search
For Miners Body
in Southwest Slope

Rescue crews yesterday continued
to remove the debris from the stope
Of the 300-level of the Southwest
mine in search of the body of Ely
Vutsdnovich, one of the two miners
killed by the cavern Monday night.
A vest, which had been worn by
Vutsanovich, was found where it had
apparently been hung on a timber.
A watch in the pocket of the vest
was still running.
Miners last night hoped to find
the body some time during the night.
Just where Vutsanovich was working
when the crash came was a matter
of conjecture, but members of the
rescue crew were of the opinion that
they were within about one timber
set of the spot where the man was
buried,
A coroner's inquest into the acct
dent will be held by Judge Craig as
soon as the body of Vutsanovich is
recovered. The coroner's jury has
already viewed the body of J. L.
Regan, the other victim of the crash,
but taking of testimony is being de-
layed until the second body is found,
in order to do away with holding two
separate inquests.

McGregor explained his plan in de-

from time to time with arguments and
illustrations. He had specially pre-
pared tables in large letters illustrat-
ing the scheme of financing and the
results to be expected, and he used
maps in telling of the geographical
considerations, and large drawings in
discussing the engineering problems.
He explained fully the interests OF the
several states of the basin and the
effect interstate politics would have
on engineering and economic prob
