In the latter section the attempt was made at the third or bottom gallery, at the earnest request of Donald Mcbonald, president of the United Minc Workers of Illinois, and nine other offi- | cers of the organization. The melancholy of the situation here was accentuated today by the weather Rain fell all night and during the forenoon turned t§ snow Scarcely a kinsman of the missing was at the scene at any time, but efforts to underground continued with un- Dozens of volunteers worked exasperating 0dds to extend the limit of thelr explorations. Earth and coal were removed only to be followed by other deluges from the crumb- ling paseages. But each check was met with a desperate return to the attack. (hey', still alive down there,” was the watchword of every worker, although evidence in support of it was patheticaily meagre. The first tangible ray of hope came when men at work in the east workings broke through a fall of carth where, it had been expected by experts that a lagge number of budies would be found. Not one was discovered. Instead, in a tool closet, hewed out of the earth, a great many mining implements were found, as laid down, ap- parently when the men came thero to eat. A fact regarded as significant was that not a dinner pall remained. From this it was argued that the men, unable to e cape when the fire was discovered, re- treated to some extremity of the mine, car- rying their food with them. Another Flame of Hope, The next flame of hope came with tho discovery ‘that the boftommost gallery, west, was not sufficlently flooded to im- pede progress. ¥ It was this section of the mine which formed the subject of the conference be- tween the union and Manager Taylor.

A man who proved to have beon dead many days, was believed to be alive when brought to the surface and was rushed to the hospital car. The ‘mistake, however, soon became apparent.
