MINERS DROWNED. The Americus and Sleepy Hollow Mines in Colorado: Flooded. THIRTEEN LIVES PROBSBLY LOST. Deadly Gas and King Waters Preveut At- tempts at Entering the Shaft—The Workmen in Adjacent Mines Warned by a Courter. CENTRAL City, Col., Aug. 30.—The ac- cidental flooding of the Americus and Sleepy Hollow mines yesterday after- noon caused the death, it is believed, of thirteen mine Every effort is being made to rescue the unfortunate men, but little ao; entertained. A little after 4 o'clock the water in the lower workings of the Fisk mine, east of the mair shaft, broke through the old workings of a vein that has not beef worked for a num- ber of years. Coursing eastward it struck the Americus,where two Italian miners, whose names have not been learned, were at work in the lower part of the shaft. They were both drowned. In its course the water di- verted to the Sleepy Hollow gine, the easterly porticn of the Fisk vein. Fourteen men were working in the Sleepy Hollow, three of whom escaped. A courier was sent to the adjacent mines and all the workmen escaped. Those in the Sleepy Hollow whose escape was shut off were as follows: S. N. Vegas, B. Brocxen, Browner Prisk, William Prisk, Thomas E Prouse, Thomas Williams, M. P. Laconi, Thomas Calbis, J. Harris, Vallero, Joby Parks. The sounding of the whistle gave the first signal of disaster, and soon the shaft building of the Sleepy Hol- low mine was so packed with the fam- ilies and friends of the imprisoned miners, and those anxious to render assistance, that it was almost impossi- ble for the work of attempting a res- cue to proceed. Deputy Sheriff W. W. Williams finally arrived on the ground, the building was cleared and practical miners offered their services in lower- ing the bucket. The furthest depth attained was 830 feet. the accumulated gas forced np by the rising water being such that a candle would not burn at a greater depth. A second ef- fort was made, a larger sized safety lamp having been placed in the bucket. The rescuer who first descended in the bucket, Mr, H. P. Risk, was found at the 330 foot level. On reaching the surface he was almost in an insensible state. Other volunteers went down afterward, but were not successful in reaching a lower point in the shaft, owing to the rising of the water. Extra water buckets were sent for and brought to the mine, which are now worenr with a view to lower the water. 2: The managers of the property were on the ground and were very assiduous in their efforts to relieve the men. The two in the Americus are without doubt dead. Those in the Sleepy Hol- low, unless they can be found in some of the slopes, have met death in a similar manner. Ever since the closing down «f the pumps in the incline shaft of the new Grego Mining Co. the waters in that shaft have been, graduaily risiag, the miners of the Fisk mine having been driven out .of the lower to the upper workings. This was due to the inability of the owners of the Fisk and Sleepy Hollow to agree upon a plan to prorate the drainage JEFFREY FOR PRESIDENT. General Manager of the Denver & Rio Grande Chosen for the Santa Fe. Toreka, Kan., Aug. 30.—Edward ‘T. Jeffrey, president and general m ger of the Denver & Rio Grande rail- way, is to be president of the reorgan- ized Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Co. Mr. Jeffrey was considered as a suecessor to J. W. Rein- hart when he resigned the presi- dency and senior receivership of the Santa Fe a year ago. The directors, however, fimally decided that, as the road was in the hands of the court, there was no immediate need for a president, as the organization of the orporation practically ceased during the receivership, Another considera- tion was the fact that Mr. Rein- hart had been paid a salary of $50,000, apd that sam could be saved by leaving the presidemcy vacant while the receivership lasted. As the reor- ganization has been effected, the: prop- erty is about ready to be sold by the sourt to the reorganization committee, the necessity of a aew organization and mew board of directors and presi deat asserts itself ai hae EE BASEBALL GAMES.
