The' man had*, died of suffocation. " Y '".

" or ' the 'resultant' fall" of toriw of rock and"earth.. Since shortly after 8 o'clock last night a large force of rescuers have .labored constantly -in an effort to .reach the imprisoned men. .The work has been'neces- ,sarilyslow" on account of the wreckage after '.the explosion of damp. Notwithstanding'the fact that the rescue, party has worked in one minute reliefs, a score or more of the number! have been, compelled to go to thoir homes suffering from tho poisonous gas. Two of the rescuers are in a critical condition. All day long a crowd of 2,000 people have stood about tho mouth of .the ill-fated mino awaiting somo news from tho entombed men. Hundreds of these persons are relatives , and friends of tho unfortunate miners, and their grief is pitablo. ' Tho rescuers aro dlvidod in opinion as to whon they will roach, the entombed mon.

In my opinion there in at tho present no necessity for a whole- Knit- license At Michel, and T can not see how a man could make a living.

Wonderful discoveries have been made In the ruins of. the' ancient city ■of Gezer, In Palestine. Professor Stewart Macallster, who is now at work on tlio site, has discovered tho ruins of eight cities, or periods of building there, going back to anolent cave dwellers, 3,000 years B. C. The remains therefore of 5,000 years of apparently almost continuous human llfo aro seen on this little hill. When a dwelling fell down or was destroy(>d the newcomer did not clear away tho rubble, but reared a. fresh structure on the ruins of the old, and, digging now fieep down through these ruins, the explorer of today has discovered the nntouched cremaled remains of a cave dwelling race not acquainted with metal, also the undisturbed dead of a Canaanlte tribe with' bronze weapons; also of a-Canaanltc" "high place," with the bones of newly born infants, sacrificed apparently to, some uukuown del- . ty or bones of,Infants buried under tho corners of house walls, r These human sacrifices were, it.is ' believed, the "aboniinations" of the Ammonites denounced In the Old Testament. Human sacrifices * were often . offered at the couimencement of -un* ■ dertakings, and it has been shown that the breaking of a bottle of wine at tho, . naming,of a ship is but the survival of* tbo 'aucient abominable custom.-- So -'* also the * Innocent looking Maypole Is simply ni relic of a pole found in old pagan temples, traces) of one having been found in the "high place",or temple of Gezer. Various statements in the Bible'are amply confirmed by discoveries made by the explorers of the 'society., __" ..'.,*' -7 , Developments at Gezer make it possible to understand more clearly how , Samson pulled down the pillars of the temple. These pillars were of wood ■ and 'merely rested on "stumps of stone." The,strong man therefore, had but to draw the' wooden supports together and off the stone, -> and down-, came .the Jtemple.- crashing about the Philistines' ears—Chicago-News..7 * SEALED TENDERS aiMresseil to Uie un.ler-. sienod, nml endorsed "TeMiier.for Public Buildins, Lad y»m ith,'B.C.," will be received at this oilico until Wednesday, December 11, 19U7, inclusively,-*- for the coiintrection of a Public Building at I adyamith, B C,'* Plans and specification can bo seen and forms of tender obtained at this Department, and on application to the-Postmaster at Ladysmith, B,C, ' -7 Persons tendering are notified that tenders will not be considered unless mado on tho printed form supplied, and signed with their uctual signatures.

We support state control as the lesser of evils, also as students of evolution accept it as a steo towards tho inauguration of the co-operative commonwodlth. But wo oppose state control, and municipal- iration of public utilities for the reason that the proletariat is the Bamo poddlpr of labor, power that he was before. His position Is more insecure, for, as part of capitalism, he oxists by competition; under private enterprise ho haB many masters, under the state ftut'onb.''" '" ' ",y ',";„"_,. , Socialism has nothing in common with government ownership, which in another form of monopolistic capitalism operated in the intcrcstfl of --4 por cents.''

Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905.
