by company officials to have been
underground at the time.
The absence of bodies in the main
passage way, escape way and sew

ing off the main passage offered
some vague hope that few of the
men had retreated to distant
passages and barricaded themselves.
All Feared Dead.
Expert rescue workers, however,
held out little encouragement to
the mourners that any man in the
mine was alive after the terrific
blasts and the penetrating death
vapors that followed.
The explosions destroyed concrete
bulkheads. crumpled up heavy steel
doors and splintered huge timbers,
according to the rescue teams. and
it was apparent that all the victims
whose bodies have thus far been re-
moved died instantly from the force
Of the blast. One man, whose body
was found in the underground ma
chine shop. had suffered a fracture
Of the skull and both arms were
broken.
Canary Birds Sought.
Every canary bird in Carbon
county has been rounded up to aid
the helmeted resuce workers in
their efforts to reach the imprison.
ed miners. Men advancing into
the entries off the main passage
carried a cage containing a canary,
the bird giving first evidence of
the presence of poisonous gases.
Thousands of people poured into
the Borrowing little mining town
over Sunday, making it necessary
to establish dead lines. approxi.
mately a mile back from the scene
of the disastrous explosion.
This action made it possible for
the rescue workers and volunteers
to pursue the work unhampered by
the morbid and curious onlookers.
Families At Mine Mouth.
Hundreds of sorrowing widows
and orphaned children remained as
close to the mine mouth as possible,
waiting for bodies to be brought
from the death shaft.
Mine company officials this morn.
ing declined to make an official
statement on the probable cause of
the explosion, but the general opin.
ion continued to prevail that it
was caused by an accumulation of
dust.
Offers of assistance to the strick.
en- town were received from all
sections of the State, as we'll as
from points outside.
Gov. Charles r. Mabey is on
the ground preparing to provide
immediate relief If required by the
families of the stricken miners.

These horses were not Indian pom

fact often saved the life of the mes
senger when pursued by Indians,
as his mount could easily outrun
theirs.
At length, with all preparations
concluded, Russell sent long adj
vertisement of this contemplated
new, and more speedy means of
communication between the East
and the Pacific coast, to the New
York Herald, in which journal it
appeared on the 10th of March,
1860. He likewise sent the same
advertisement to the Missouri Re
publican. The opening paragraph
and heading of this announcement
read as follows:

tiles. Perhaps it was due to more
rapid communication, that nothing
came of this proposed measure
Feeling was then very bitter be-
tween the Mormons and the Gen
tiles, with plenty of reason on both
sides, for their antagonism.
The pony express had been in
operation about a year before the
opening of the Civil war, when the
whole country was eager to learn

Word of the firing on Fort Sumter,
that set the North in blaze,
reached San Francisco in eight
days and fourteen hours. After
this the business men and officials
of California raised large sum of
money to be given to the riders
who made an extra effort to for
ward the war news. They re-
ceived three hundred dollars for de-
livering a bundle of Chicago pa
pers telling of the battle of Anti
etam, day ahead of schedule
time.
The quickest journey made by
the ponies was that which carried
the first inaugural address of Pre-
sident Lincoln from St. Joseph to
Sacramento in seven days and sew
enteen hours. The San Francisco
business men gave a fine gold
watch to the rider on the Califor-
MIA division, who made the best
time through the Sierras on the
trip.
The route chosen for the ex-
press was that later followed, for
a greater part of the way, by the

In Sacramento, the departure 0.
the messenger eastward, was cele
brated in true western style. People
flocked in from the neighboring
cities, and from the surrounding
country. The business houses
were closed, and the city decorated
lavishly with flags and bunting
Across the principle streets floral
arches were built cannons doomed

bands played enlivening music, "

proudest days ever celebrated on
the Pacific coast"
The rider from Sacramento was
mounted on beautiful white
horse, and left the city at terrific
pace, covering the first fifty-five
miles-his run-in two hours and
forty-ninel minutes.
1t was the messenger from the
west who first reached Salt Lake
City arriving there April 9TH, four
days from Sacramento. The mes
senger from the east arrived two
days later, on April 9th. Until
this time the residents of the Nor
mon capital had been accustomed

A fleet of big tank wagons is used
for removing the grain from the
threshing dump. Every minute six
half-bushels of wheat are dumped
into these tanks, which when they
have their load of $50 to $50 bush
els, trundle off in trains to the rail-
road in tow of tractor, to deliver
their freight to the waiting cars,
which speed 1t off to Minneapolis
A number of local farmers under con-

A small army of men is working
on the farm all the year round, but
it's numbers are at the peak during
these hot days of harvesting, thresh-
ing and shipping the ripened grain.

~ NE of the greatest enterpris

| prises, was the establishing anC
operating during the early sixties
of the pony express between St
Joseph, Missouri, and Sacramento
California, distance of 1880 miles
Antedating as it did, both trans
continental telegraph and railroad
it proved to be of incalculable val
lie, especially to those living in the
far west.
It's promoter was William H.
Russell, freighter of Fort Lea
venworth, which was then the main
outfitting point for the Plains and
the Pacific slope. Mr.. Russell took
but about a half dozen others in
to his confidence, among these be-
ing the notorious Jack Slade, and
his operations were a profound SCI
cret until everything was ready for
the opening of the line.
Going to Salt Lake City, he pur-
chased a couple of hundred horses,
which then commanded an exhor-
bitant price. In some instances he
paid as high as two hundred dol
lars head. The remainder of the
five or nearly five hundred horses
required we're bought elsewhere.
Meanwhile riders were secured:
and these required careful selec-
ton. They must be not only good
riders but, like jockeys, of light
weight. Few exceeded one hun
dred and thirty-five pounds. All
were frontiersmen, and well pre-
pared for the life they entered. The

follow, stations were built and

In addition there is in operation a

daily stipend of the men of the crews

of 5000 bushels adds 81 to the daily

Fed On Farm.
The men are fed on the farm, and
a camp is also maintained in COM
plete for their comfort. Mr.. Camp
bell and Boss Tom Evans are mess
members with the help. The cooking
is of the best. The food is standard
and strict cleanliness is observed in
all details of the feeding. Mr. Camp
bell believes in system there as well
as in the handling of the machinery
and of the crops. Better work is OBJ
tanned, in his opinion, and the dan
ger of sickness among the workers
is reduced, so that the operations go
on, as rule, unhampered, and speed
is one of the ESSENTIALS of the Camp
bell operations, owing to the over
head, the danger of damaging wealth
er and the shortness of the seasons.
Recently a number of different
motion picture outfits have visited
the farm taking films of the opera
tons for showing in theatres over
the country. Owing to the magni- |
tuds OF the operations, the scenes are
proving a big attraction on the show
house screens.

the Pattee House, St. Joseph, Mo-,
to see the first messenger set out
on his lonely route. They had not
long to wait. At the firing of a
cannon, the rider, wounted on a
black horse, sped up the street to
the express office where he was
given the pouch containing the let
tiers, and then dashed away to the
waiting ferry boat that conveyed
him to the Kansas side of the riv
er. It is said that St. Joseph was

livered in San Francisco in eight

Halifax, N S., Nov. 2?.--With her captain confined to hospital suffer ing from a nervous breakdown and what remains of her cargo of liquor under customs seal, the four masted British schooner Veronica, reputed victim of hi-jackers, lay at anchor here today
 According 10 the story of officers and crew, the Veronica which was lowed into port here last night dis ablcd and with supplies almost ex- hausted, was the victim Of one of the most daring seizures in all the annals of piracy.
 Members of the crew stated that the schooner left Bremen four months ago and that they had not seen land since that time until to- night, Much of those four months | IS unaccounted for in the 'meagre re- ports available, but story told by the mate relates the weird adven- lures which befel her during the past month,
 On October 24, he said, IS men boarded the Veronica off Montauk Point and after holding up the crew, threw the officers into the chain locker where they were kept for , three weeks, In that period it was re ported the pirates held supreme sway on the schooner.
 The mate said that the pirates sold | the schooner's liquor cargo over the side during their three weeks stay and then departed, last Monday after disabling the engines and wrecking all instruments by which the schoon- CTS officers might direct her course. The craft then drifted for three days and nights, he said, until flares and rockets were seen by the liner
 President Harding which sent a ra- | dio message here which brought d tug 10 tow the Veronica into port.
 The men reported that the pirates ruled the ship with a high hand, locking crew up every night and l forcing them to help dispose of the cargo during the day The mate ! said that compared with the Veroni- cas- raiders. Chinese pirates with whom he had come in contact were | gentlemen"
