CHAMPION OF
Duke of Devonshire Criticises the Protectionists
Resolution Adopted Against
Taxation on Food
to Mr. Balfour's practical relinquishment of the leadership to Joseph Chamberlain, and to his query as to how long
the conservatives would be content to
allow the former colonial secretary to
assume all the duties, privileges and
responsibilities of tbe leadership.
The Dally Mall, a partisan of Mr.
Chamberlain, calls the duke of Devonshire a "little Englander," and says that
his speech looks very much like a bid
for tbe liberal premiership,
MINES IN THE BOUNDARY
^ELSO\. B.C.. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 257l903"
SMELTER CANNOT HANDLE THE
OUTPUT OP SNOWSHOE MINE. -
London, Nov. 24.—The duke of Devonshire presided and was the principal
speaker at a great demonstration ln
Queen's hall here tonight under the
auspices of the Free Food league. It
was the duke's first public speech since
his resignation as lord president of the
council and the flrst really important
meeting of the free fooders as an offset
to the active propaganda of the Tariff
Reform league. The hall was packed
and the prominent persons were given
a tremendous reception.
The duke of Devonshire was given a
great welcome. He said there must be
difference of opinion concerning the extent to which retaliation might legitimately go. Some members of the league
were not altogether opposed to some
form of protection; but tbey were all
united and prepared to resist to the
utmost the Imposition of any protective
taxation on food or protective duties
generally. He, himself, claimed the
right to oppose anything in the nature
of a return to protection.
Prolonged cheers followed this statement of tho duke.
Continuing, the speaker said thnt
while the fiscal policy was not yet a
party question, there was nothing
Which the advocates ot the scheme,
which emanated from the brain of a
single statesman, would like better than
a general election which would turn on
this question alone. The duke said the
r meeting was one of unionists desiring
to urge on the government the..danger
of taking a certain course and the; expediency of resisting a certain course.
It was not the policy of the unionists'
government which was before the country. The public liked a clear issue, and
such an Issue had been brought before
them by Mr. Chamberlain, who left the
government in order that he might be
free.
Cheers and hisses followed this mention of Mr. Chamberlain.
The duke urged  that the policy of
the government must be more clearly
defined.    At present it was indefinite.
He had tendered   his   resignation because he could not be representative of
the government in tho house of lords,
and could not express unqualified confidence in the policy of the cabinet, concerning which he had grave misgivings
and insufficient knowledge. Had ho been
assured that a moderate use of the proposed   power of  retaliation would  be
made by the premier he might still be
a member of the government. With certain limitations, much might be said of
the policy of retaliation, but it would
only make matters worse, if in addition
to the existing hostile conditions against
themselves, they built up walls wblch
would prohibit and restrict the importation of goods, which, for their own
advantage, they took from other nations.
The duke said he was opposed to the
taxation of food because he thought that
such taxation was tho keynote of the
entire policy to which he took   exception.   Should the price of food be raised
some compensation must bo given to
the workingmen.    He recognized    the
great services of Joseph   Chamberlain.
He was prepared to prove    thnt Mr.
Chamberlain's Glasgow  budget  would
entail a tremendous   loss to the consumer,   while   the   worklngman's   expenses would be Increased ten-fold. He
believed that no greater fallacy had ever
been produced than that prohibition of
i restriction of imports from abroad would
^increase the profitable employment of
Icapltal and labor at home.  The country
lwas    prospering   everywhere, yet Mr.
■Chamberlain asserted that only stagnation existed.  Alluding to Mr. Chamberlain's charge that he (the duke of Devonshire) was "a drag on the wheels of
isrogress," tho speaker said he was content to act as a drag on the   engine
hlch wns running down grade against
| II signals.
Lord Goschen moved and lord George
amllton seconded the following resolu-
Dn, which   was   passed by an over-
helming vote:    "This meeting, while
'epared to consider fn a friendly spirit
ly measures   the    government   may
bmit to parliament ln special session
r mitigating    the  effects of hostile
riffs, is of the qpinton that strenuous
position should    be   offered to any
cal  policy   Involving the protective
station of food and the establishment
_ a general preferential or protective
■stem."

that day, but the next day the shipments were unusually heavy. The regular quota from the Granby mines is
now 64 cars,'or 2,000 tons per day. The
Snowshoe mine cannot ship to the limit
of Its capacity as the smelter is unable
to handle Us entire output.

INTEGRITY  OF  COLOMBO
REYES WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT
TO PRESERVE IT.
HE MAY TAKE STEPS TO INVADE
THE   ISTHMUS.
Colon, Nov. 24—A person who has
seen much of general Reyes during the
past few months said today that he
thought that general Reyes would make
every effort, no matter how hopeless,
to effect such a settlement of the Panama situation as would preserve the integrity of Colombia. Thinking his position to negotiate to this end would be
stronger if he had an armed force ln
the fleld, the Associated Press Informant sold it was not impossible that Reyes
would order preparations for an attempt
to Invade the Isthmus. Falling to accomplish anything at Washington, Reyes
might find It necessary, owing to the
political situation ln Colombia, to do his
utmost to preserve Colombia's Integrity
even to the extent to leading a forlorn
hope, possibly with the expectation that
aid might be given by some European
power.
"Colombia's extremity is such, and
her chagrin ovor the loss of the Isthmus
so great," said tho Associated Press Informant, "that It would not surprise me
to see the republic of Colombia eventually asking admission into the republic
of Panama, if all other efforts fall."
Panama, Nov. 24.—Advices from
Bogota show that the boasted union of
all parties In Colombia ls without
foundation; on the contrary, the conservatives are In open rupture with the
nationalists concerning the presidential
and vicc-presldentlal candidates. Gen:
eral Eloy Alfaro, former president of
Ecuador, it is reported, Is coming to
Panama on a spoclal secret mission.
Bogota, Nov. 2 (via Colon, Nov. 24.)—
A prominent politician closo to tho government, speaking to tbe Associated
Press correspondent today, characterized the action of tho United States on
the isthmus of Panama as most unjus-
tlflable. He added: "Colombians hope
that the reasonable and fair minded
people of the United States will bring
such pressure to bear on the1, government at Washington that tho result
will be the saving of the Isthmus to
Colombia and the protection of Colombia's unquostloned rights there. All Colombians protest, as would the people of
other nations, against this aggression of
the United States.
"Tha Batata government Is rscslvlng
the support of all political parties and
generous donations of gold and jewels
are made daily to meet such emergencies
as may become necessary.
"The French colony residents at Bogota have unanimously offered the government their services and property,
while the German and English colonies have manifested their sympathy
with Colombia's cause. .
"American residents at Bogota, express surprise at- tbe action of the
United States government on the Isthmus, and some hope, ln view of the enormous damage tbat would result to commercial interests, that the United States
will retrace their steps taken In
Panama."
Berlin, Nov. 24.—The foreign ofllce
today made the following official announcement: Upon the Imperial chancellor's written proposals, the emperor
yesterday directed that the new free
state of Panama he recognized by Germany. Neither the German foreign officials or the German charge d' affaires']
at Bogota have ln any way furthered
the desires of Colombia.
Vienna, Nov. 24.—The Associated
Press Is Informed that the Austro-Hun-
garlan government has decided to recognize the republic of Panama, and that

SEVERELY ARRAIGNS PRESIDENT'S
PANAMA POLICY.
HE   IS   NOT   ACTING   WITH
GOOD PAITH.
Washington, Nov. 24.—The Panama
canal question was again the leading
topic under consideration by tbe United
States senate today. Und senator Morgan was again the speaker of the day.
He continued his review of the history
of the efforts to secure an Isthmian canal
and declared tbat to tbe president's ambition to secure the credit of an unique
administration must be credited the
favoritism manifested by him towards
the Panama route- He asserted that
president McKlnley had favored the
Nlcaraguan line.
This statement was challenged by Mr.
Hanna, who said he knew, of his own
personal knowledge, that Mr. McKlnley
had urged the most.careful Investigation after he had learned that the
Panama canal property was available.
Senator Morgan declared that if Mo-
Kinley had lived the protocols with
Nicaragua and Costa Rica would have
been observed. "But he Is dead," the
senator went on, "and a new Richmond
comes upon the field, and he seems not
to feel the obligation of good -faith
when a more enticing fleld for the unique
administration breaks upon the vision
of the ambitious spirit."
After having spoken for two hours
Mr. Morgan requested the privilege of
taking his seat while he continued his
delivery. There was no objection and
the venerable senator sat down, remarking under his breath as he did so: "My
old limbs are getting as shaky under me
as the republican party must be in the
presence of truth."

Mines, Ltd. A chamber summons having
been issued by C. R. Hamilton, solicitor
for tho Rossland Great Western Mines,
out of Rossland supreme court registry, to
set aside an order made by justice Irving
for substituted service of a writ of summons on the defendants.
When the defendant's application came
up for hearing before the chief justice, sir
Hlbbert Tupper, for the plaintiffs, raised
the objection that the matter could not be
heard as tho chamber Summons having
been Issued In the Rossland registry did
not comply with the practice as given In
section 13, chapter 14, statutes of British
Columbia, 1901. Sir Hlbbert contended that
In order to comply with this section the
summons must ho Issued either In Vancouver, Now Westminster or Victoria, nnd
his view Is sustained by the chief Justice.
This is but another of the many cases in
which tho wording of the statutes limits
Its moaning in a mnnncr never originally

IT CAUSES LITIGATION.
A petition wm circulated la this city
on Monday whlcb was numerously
signed, asking the provincial legislature
to so amend the mining act that the
rights ot quarts and placer miners be
more clearly defined. Tbe people of
this city realize the necessity for legislation of the character suggested, and
are certain that the cause for complications, disputes and lawsuits should be
removed.
A lawyer, when asked to sign the
petition, said: "No; I do not care to do
so, aB It would be against the interests
of the legal profession to do so. The
law as It at present stands Is a fruitful
source ot litigation, and It ls like taking
the bread out of tbe mouths of tbe
lawyers, members of my profession,
to aid ln the abrogating of laws of this
character."
It ls possible under the present law
for three different sets of owners to
have rights ln one mineral claim. For
instance, one man can own the surface
rights, another the quarts or lods
rights and a third the   placer rights.
Tbat is actually the case at Poplar
creek today. Tbe lode rights of the
Lucky Jack are owned by the Great
Northern Mines, Limited; part of tbe
property ls covered by a placer location
and a portion of tbe title of the surface
Ib vested ln the Poplar Townslte company. Where there are so many ownerships of the same piece of ground there
Is certain to be a conflict arising from
tbe joint occupancy which leads to lawsuits and trouble* In the Poplar case
the conditions are somewhat different
from what they -ordinarily are. The
ground In that vicinity is a portion of
the Kaslo & Slocan railway grant, and
the surface rights mentioned above
were purchased from the railway company by the Poplar Townslte company.
There ls a reservation in the grants to
railways, however, which allows the
taking up of mineral claims wherever
they ma^Le found upon them. There are
several wwsuits now In progress over
the Lucky Jack.
Tbe Jaw should be amended so that
when a claim is taken up on crown
lands everything within the side and
end lines should be the property of tbe
party staking the claim, Including the
surface rights, timber and mineral. The
party staking should have the privilege
of staking the ground for either a mineral or a placer claim as he may elect.
It should be made Impossible for any
one else to take up the land for any
other purpose. This, we believe, Is the
only way In which vexatious litigation,
with Its resulting retardment of development, can be stopped, and In the long
run it would redound to the benefit of
the mining Industry.
stoping ground from which to extract
ore. Now the stockholders will be rewarded for their faith in the Foghorn
and should reap a harvest of dividends.
Thero has been no flourish of trumpets
nor lauding of the merits of the property, but quiet, persistent work, until
the theory which the management held
that the ledge extended downward and
was rich at depth bas been proven.
It required patience, courage, faith
and considerable financial ability to
reach the results attained in the Foghorn. The outcome will be that a valuable mine has been added to tho shipping mines of the country and another
step forward la' made in proving the
value of our mineral resources.
In a number of places in the several
mining divisions, companies and Individuals are working along similar lines
to the Foghorn, and, in time, the results of their exertions will In many
cases be similar to that which have
attended the Foghorn.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
\      ANOTHER MINING SUCCESS.
The company operating the Foghorn
mine, and it Is a mine now, ln the
Ymir district, after three years spent in
driving a 1200-foot tunnel through very
hard rock, has struck the ledge at a
depth of 900 feet. At that depth four
and a half feet of carbonate ore carrying free gold has been crosscut, which
is similar in appearance and character
to that found in the bottom of the small
shaft eunk on the vein 900 feet above.
Through thick and" thin the management has stuck doggedly to the task of
reaching the ledge and now has 900
feet of what appears to be exoslleht
Senator Hale In the United States
senate on Monday expressed the fear
that the effect of putting Into use Chamberlain's policy would be to drive Canada to become an integral part of the
United States. There is not the slightest danger of this whether the Chamberlain program ls carried out or not.
Canada forms an integral part of the
British empire and will continue to do
so long after Mr. Chamberlain and his
policy have passed into history.
The suggestion of mayor Rose at the
city council meeting on Monday evening that the province establish a home
for incurables seems to be an excellent
one. Such an Institution would have
buildings of the right kind, fitted up to
suit the wants and needs of those who
are hopelessly afflicted with disease.
Then, too, it could bo located in some ;
place where the climate is best suited
to patients of such a character. Another
thing in favor of such an institution
would be that the cost of maintaining
and caring for the patients would be
considerably less per capita than at
present, becauso they could all be kept
In one institution, instead of being
scattered In all parts of the province, as
they are at present. Nelson has had to
maintain quite a number of patients of
this sort and In not a few Instances
they were brought here from outside
places to be treated, aud the expense
of caring for them should be borne by
the province In whoso care they rightly
belong.  __ __
The recent advance In the price of
oil, It is stated, adds about $11,000,000
a year to the income of John D. Rockefeller. Rockefeller claims to be religious and says that he has got so much
comfort out of it that he feels that he
would like to go on the platform and
tell the people about It. People might
believe him If at the same time ho told
about his religion he would announce
a two or three cent cut ln the price of
oil per gallon,
Last year a Trail girl mads her
affianced promise to buy her a carriage
after their marriage, says the Trail
Creek News, He kept his word, and
now she makes him take turn about
with him pushing it.
The Hamilton Herald says that Patti
sings like sixty.
The London Dally News Ib not in love
with the Chamberlain fiscal proposals.
In reply to Chamberlain's query, why
one-third of the population of Great
Britain live on the verge of starvation,
the Daily News points out that the answer is to be found ln the annual rent
and.drink bills. So long as £50,000,000
is paid yearly to landlords, who for the
most part add nothing to the soil, and
so long as the drink bill of tbe country
annually amounts to -£160,000,000, there
is no need, it claims, to search far for
the cause of British distresses.
Kicking around in a foot of snow,
looking for a coal pile, with the thermometer so low that It ls crowding the
half century mark may be good exercise, says the Blairmore, Alberta, Times,
but it Is also conducive to much profanity.

GOT THE BEST bf RIVALS
CANADIAN     PACIFIC     SECUUKS     A
LARGE   CONTRACT.
WILL    NECESSITATE    TUTTING    ON
THREE LARGE STEAMERS.
Vancouver, Nov. 21.-Some tlmo In
December It will be unnounced that the
C. P. R. has seemed tho contract lor the
carrying of a heavy llno'of freight which
will amount in charges to half a million
dollars a year. For the punt live years
this freight has been carried by American lines, and now the C.P.H. haa practically closed an agreement by which this
freight is to bo transhipped at the port
of Vancouver.
It waa ascertained by a wideawake citizen of Vancouver, who was for years in
the shipping and commission business on
Cordova streot, that several ilrms could
save In freight and Incidentals some $30,000
a year hy dealing with the Canadian Fnci-
flo railway, and having the goods transhipped at this port, than hy dealing wilh
American railways and having tho goods
transhipped at Now York. This week the
C P R.i It Is said, sent* a number of long
cables to the old world, In fact the correspondence was carried on between contracting parties in this luxurious fashion.
No less than seven powers of attorney
are now on their way to Vancouver by
mall. It will probably bo tho 15th of December before thoy reach here. When the
powers of attorney do arrive, and tbe parties so empowered sign the documents, already signed In the old country, the matter
will be officially made public, and tbe Importance of Vancouver us a snipping port
will bo increased.
In these times when the Americans,
thanks to the tariff laws of tho federal
government, ore getting the best of British
Columbia It is refreshing to learn that
such a substantial amount of freight
traffic Is to be diverted In this direction.
Some Idea of tbo Importance ofxtlie transaction might ho gained from tho fact thai
tbo man Who looks after tho carloads of
merchandise for these firms in New York,
is In receipt of a salary of J50O a month.
The party who ls to be appointed here,
however, hns made tbe modest demand of
$250 a month, nnd it is understood that this
has been promptly met.
The new arrangement will necessitate
' three more steamers calling at this port.
In fact It virtually means another line of
Hteamers under the control of the C, P. It.
while the force of stevedores may hardly
he sufficient to supply this demand. There
appears to he nothing to prevent the consummation of tho contrnct ns the necessary
signatures are^aM that Is.reqiilred, and tlio
power to sign ls already in the mail en
route.   The contract ls for three years.
BETTER THAN A PLASTER.
A piece of flannel dampened with Chnm-
berlnin's Pain Balm and bound to the affected parts Is superior tn any plaster.
When troubled with lame back, or pains
In tht sld* or chest, flvo It a trial and you
are certain to be more than pleased with
the prompt relief which it affords. For
salo by all druggists and dealers.

A TIMELY 8UOQE8TION.
This is the season of the year when the
prudent and careful housewife reiilenlsliei*
her supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It Is certain to be needed before the
winter is over, and results aro much more
prompt and satisfactory when It Is ktpt
at hand nnd given ns soon as the cold If
contracted and before It has become settled
fn the system.   In alme.it every laatancs
a Bevere cold may be warded off by taking
this remedy freely as soon as the first Indication of the cold appears. There ls no
danger in giving it to children, for It contains no harmful substance. It is pleasant
to take—both adults and children like It.
Buy It and you will get the best. It always cures. For salo by all dealers and
druggists.
LORD'S DAY ALLIANCE.
Editor, The Dally News: In your report
of the meeting recently held at Nelson, at
which the Rev. Dr. Wright delivered an
address on the work of the Lord's Day
Alliance, some remarks of a disparaging
character were made by a subsequent
speaker, with reference to the association
and Its respected secretary, Rev. J. G.
Shearer. As one of the founders of the
Lord's Day Alliance, nnd an active official
for three years, I wish 4o say that these
remarks could only have been made under
a misconception both of the chnracter and
object of the association and Ub secretary.
The speaker fell Into the error of supposing that the Lord's Dav Alliance Is a
clerical association and that its chief object Is to compel people to attend church,
but I would here say that the clerical
gentlemen associated with the above mentioned association, are in a minority and
that by far the larger number of the officials and executive are laymen. It ls neither
directly nor Indirectly nny part of the business of the Lord's Day Alliance either to.
induce or compel people to attend church.
That Is the business of the church officials.
There aro workmen, who work Sunday
after Sunday all the year round and many
of these are church members and consider
it a deprivation to be nnnble to attend.
This Is an Jnterference with the liberty of
the subject which a tabor representative
should bo the flrst to condomn. Many
others are not desirous of attending church
but tho association Is equally energetic
nnd sollcIUous on their behalf. So fully Is
this phase of our work understood, labor
organizations throughout the dominion
have endorsed It and'co-operate with us.
As good a friend of labor as Ralph Smith,
of Nanaimo, ts one of our vice-presidents,
nnd there Is no more broad-gango man
than the secretary, Mr. Shearer, who Is a
friend of labor and hns proved this by his
work for the lnst three or four years.
Thanking you for the opportunity of defending tho association. I am. vonrs very
truly, WM.  BLAKEMORE.
Nelson, Nov. 24th, 1903.
the picket's presence is not objectionable
to the tenants. A policeman near the
scene of the strike ordered a picket to
leave the entire neighborhood. The picket
thereupon entered a saloon Immediately
opposite the entrance of the strike locality.
The local court held that the police had the
right to order persons, whose presence
might occasion disorder, to leave particular streets, which Included the premises
opening on said street, but the supreme
court said that the police ordinances do not
extend beyound the street.

WAKEFUL CHILDREN.
For a long time the two year old child
of Mr. P. L. McPherson, 69 N. Tenth St.,
Harrlsburg, Pa., would sleep but two or
three hours In the early part of the night,
which made It very hard for her parents.
Her mothor concluded that, the child had
stomach trouble, and gave her half of one
of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, which quieted her stomach and she
slept the whole night through. Two boxes
of these Tablets have effected a permanent
cure and she ls now well and strong. For

A FIGHT WITH THE MOROS.
General Wood Stormed Their Position,
Killing 75.
Manila, Nov. 24.—General Wood captured
tho Moro position ln the hills of Jolo, north
of Tagllbl on the 20th Instant, destroyed It
with tho works thrown up there. Private

privates wounded, one seriously. The loss
on tho Moro side was 76. The expedition
returned to Jolo and pending an Investigation general Wood says there will be no

his understanding this action of tho Moros
abrogates theJ3ates treaty.

SERIOUS ROW AMONG ITALIANS AT
FE.tS'.H.
ONE     MAN     SHOT    AND     ANOTHER
SEVERELY Un - ."-LED.
A serious row occur.'-d among some Italians on Tuesday u-enlng -it the house of
Enrico Cooololonl In the Italian quarters
north of the town limits, says the .Fornio
Free Press of Saturday. As a result of
thu quarrel one was idiot near the heart,
another had his head cut open with a
pitcher and the prime cause of the whole
trouble wus badly butchered with knives.
About O.a0 p.m. on Tuesday the police
were summoned to this place where they
mudc the arrest of four men, whose names
aro J. Gemma, Nicola Pltrocco, Amerlco
Tiangells and Peter Bommu, Among those
who witnessed the t'rucas were Cocclolonl
and his two brothers.
A keg of beer had been placed in the middle of the room, where quite a number
were, gathered.
Gemma acted as bartender nnd served
out the beverage. One did not get his
drink and compluined of the seeming insult.
Gemma as master of ceremonies attempted
to quell tho row. Ho picked up a water jug,
threw it at tho head of Amerlco Diangelis,
Inflicting a nasty cut. Peter Sommu drew
a gun and threatened to use It on behalf of
Gemma.
At this stage on tbe suggestion of one
present an adjournment wus mado to the
open air where the tight continued.
Somma had In tho meantime transferred
his weapon Into the hand of Gemma who
turned it upon Nicola Pltrocco and fired,
The bullet penetrated the man's clothing
and entered the flesh near the heart but
struck a rib, where it lodged.
Sevoral then turned upon the would-bo
murdorer and mado short work of him.
When found by the police he had a long
clean-cut wound on the top of the head,
evidently the work of a razor.
THE VINDICATOR DISASTER.
Western Federation Olllcisils Charged With
Planning the Explosion.
Cripple Creek, Colo., Nov. 24.—Tho arrest
of several officials of tho Western Federation of Miners for alleged complicity In the
Vindicator mine explosion, by which superintendent McCormnck nnd shift boss Melvln
Beck lost their lives on Saturday last has
created intense excitement here. There Is
not the slightest evidence so far to implicate any member of the union In the
disaster and all the local officials claim
that the explosion was due to an unavoidable accident. The Miners nnd Operators
association persist In charging the union
mon with being the cause of the disaster
and much 111 feeling prevails as a consequence. The military is In strong forco
here, but despite the intense feeling that
prevails, there is no sign of disorder.
A BOMB "WAS THROWN.
London, Nov. 24.—A terrible crime is reported to have beon perpetrated at Ardu-
ing, near Rottermann, Syria. An attempt
was mado on the life of a railway contractor named Zanaardelli, in revenge for ids
having discharged 500 workmen. During
the trouble a bomb was thrown nnd six
persons were killed and 16 seriously injured.

that It was of vegetable origin, so closely

Thirteen MincrB Killed By Exploding Gas
at Bonanza, Arkansas.
Fort Smith, Ark., Nov. 24.—Thirteen
miners were killed, and great damage was
done by the accidental explosion of gas
todav In coal mine Nd. 20 at Bonanza, Ark.,
12 miles from this city. At nightfall only
six of the victims had been recovered.
When the explosion occurred thero were
about 175 men ln tho various shafts. All
escaped without Injury except the 13 who
woro employed In entry "K," the scene of
the explosion. The force of the explosion
was terrifflo and timbers were torn from
tho walls of the passages for several hundred -yards at the mouth of entry "K."
The passages wero so completely obstructed that the work of rescuing the entombed men was tedious in the extreme,
and several hours wore consumed before
the first body was found.
It Is thought that tho gas was accidentally Ignited by. a miner's lamp. Tho
miners who escaped, with the aid of others
summoned from nearby shafts, immediately sot about clearing the passages in tho
vain hope that some of the thirteen entombed men might have survived tho explosion.
