RaS Lamnmah. editor of the Gold lUll Nowa. w la Medford Tuesday mvor UP1 BLACK DIAMOND, Wash., Nov. 8. Spurred by tho hopo that five of tho missinir men imprisoned in the Lawson inino at Black Diamond may yet Hive, two searching parties arc working from either end of the un derground death trap with feverish haste. It is tho theory of tho searchers that tho five men who wero on their way to tho surfnoo at tlie time of the explosion, lie entrapped. If not ov ercome by the deadly after damp, ex perienced miners say they .may bo alive. In that event it is possible that another 48 hours may reveal their fate. General Manager James Anderson says tho mine will bo reopened if the expense does not oxced $100,000. If tho oxponso is above that figure the Lawson mine will bo nbnndoned, a blackened monument to underground disaster. Tho rescue gangs now nt work nre attempting to effect an entrance through tho southern fresh-nir shaft. Tho main shaft is choked by tons of debris 250 feet below the surface. Absolutely no trnco of the missing men has vet been found. Ilaskins' for health. Are DEEP SEA WATER.

The unswer Is usually given In favor of the pheasaut de scending with closed wings from u higher level of flight, though n few give the preference to the second bar rel shot at teal scared by tho discharge of a first barrel aud darting upward and In any direction but that which Is expected. A bird which we have never seen mentioned and which yot might take u high place In the category Is the sand grouse. It Is not to be rated as an English bird of sport, but Is familiar to shooters In tho east, where It Is shot as It comes fighting to water holes to drink. Its flight Is something like thnt of a pigeon, with very swift curves and undulations, nnd In Its case again, as In thnt of the Virginian mosquito hawk. It Is said that those who have acquired the knack can kill It with a comparative certainty which is the de spair of tho novlco. After nil perhaps our pheasant nero planlng dowqward must still bo given the highest marks for difficulty, for wc hear of no one who presumes to say ho has discovered any lnfnlllblo knack by which this most perplexing nnd yet apparently simple shot can be brought off with any great assur ance. Country Life. LORDLY FORMALITIES. Preparing a New Peer For His Seat In House of Lords. Numerous formalities have to bo gouo through beforo any new peer Is entitled, to take his seat In tb house of lords. One of the most Important matters Is the preparation of tho patent, o long strip of parchment, to tho end of which Is nfllxed .the war seal, the color of which varies, according to tho rank of tho new member. Another Item Is the robe, made of scnrlet cloth with three doublings of ermine, tho number of bars varying according to rank. Thus a duke has four bars lu front nnd tho same number behind, a mar quis ouo less, aud so on. Then there are preparations In re gard to making or changing coats of arms. In connection with which fees to tho extent of about CO guineas arc paid by .the recipient of a summons to tho houso of lords. Altogether tho financial disburse ments amount In tuo rase of a new earl to between C0O nnd 700, some of which finds Its way to the chancel lor of the exchequer und somo.to the crown as reprosented by tho college of arms A considerable portion of this expenditure Is. of course, Incurred In the purchase of tho coronet.
