11:80 o'clock. The men -were taken out
hrough the main abaft, all alive and

even hungry. -i.
- There were emotional scenes at the
begrimed miners, who had been held
. , prisoners for nearly 24 hours were
brought to the top of the shaft in an
( Improvised skip. As they stepped from
th mouth of the mine wives and mothers
, clasped them and cried for loy. .
' The miners, most of them Austrian

The telephone lines were not severed
and the men were told bow the rescue

- -This morning loaves of bread and
' : ham and bacon were thrown Into the
. large It inch blower used for-pumping

so strong that it caught up the loaves

The Bunker 11111 cave-in occurred
shortly before J o'clock yesterday after-
noon. A skip loaded with rock was
v , being hoisted to the top of the mine.
;Ot. top of Uhe load rode Shift Boss Hos
kins. He stepped from the cage when
the collar of the shaft was reached
and the skip started on up to th dtrmp
.; ing place, y.,:-. i: 'Sv v':
When near the top . of the gallows
frame,., the cable parted and the skip,
' heavily loaded with rock, shot down the
Incline track and Jumped from Its reg
ular course. The skip struck the edge
of the collar of the shaft, smashing
timbers and causing the collar to col
lapse. The debris .filled up the shaft
to a depth of from 40 to 60 feet, shut

mine. ' y
' In a few minutes the wildest excite
ment .prevailed and soon hundreds of
people, Including the wives and faml
lies of the entombed workmen, had col-
. lected near th mouth of the shaft
' Sheriff J. 8. Davis was present and
quickly stretched a rope around the
shaft so that those engaged In rescue
work might not be hindered. It la still
-probable that some men have been killed
at the bottom of the shaft by falling
debris. i ..

OPENING OF DRAMA
Income From Pit in One Year

Lax methods of conducting county
business, whereby there appears to be
a total lack of check on what the coun
ty receives on sales of material,' as
well as equally lax methods in Belling
land, without adequate investigation as
to values is disclosed by th -story of
the gravel pft on Patton avenue recently
sold by the-county court to Mose Bloch
and by him later transferred' to Robert
Shaw, an attache of the court.
The drama opens with a letter to the
county from H. M. Friendly, who com
plained of the operation of the gravel
pit near his property and offered ' to
buy It for 1260. That was on Novem
ber S. On November 11 the court or
dered the sale, and after publishing an
invitation for bids for three days the
property -was Bold on November 22 to
Bloch, the deed being taken in the name
of A. Boskowitz, a nephew of Bloch.
Investigation of the monthly reports
of receipts from this gravel pit would
show that during th month of Novem
ber, the county was paid-IU8.S0 from
the sale of gravel by A. Paulson, to
whom the county had. leased the prop
erty from March 1, 1911, for. a period
of two years, doing back one month,
it would be shown that In the month
of October the receipts were 1165.60,
from the same source. Going back still
further, it would appear that for the
year 1911, In . about nine months, the
county received between f 1200 and
11600.

One member of the court, Commis

Hurried Journey of Haldane

' (United Pran Leaied Wlre.t
Berlin, Feb.; 8. Serious complications
are today expected to follow the visit
here of Lord Haldane, British minister
of; war, and Admiral Lord Charles Beres
ford. It is believed they Intend to ask
the kaiser to discharge Bertrand Stew
art, convicted of espionage, and if th
kaiser grants such . a request the act
will be met by general protest 1
While Lord Haldane has denied that
his visit . to Berlin Is to personally In
veetlgate th conviction and imprison
ment of th alleged , spy, this denial is
accepted as a diplomatic evasion. Ger
man newspapers emphasise the fact that
before leaving London last night for
Berlin, Lord Haldane had a conference
with King George.
, Germans believe Stewart deserved the
punishment adjudged him, and think
that In view of the offense committed
he has really escaped with a lenient
sentence. ,
.: London, Feb. 8. Official denials that
there is any political significance In
Lord Haldane's hurried trip to Berlin are
made today by the foreign office here.
But these denials receive slight cred
ence. It is firmly believed that the war
ministers visit affects : England's for
eign, policy as regards Germany, and
that on of the subjects to be taken
up by Lord Haldane will be rectifica
tion of mistakes in the survey of th
Anglo-German frontier in Africa. ; This
will give an excuae for opening th way
to discussion of the Stewart matter.
English newspapers unanimously de
clare that Bertrand Stewart Is "a vic
tim of German officialdom," and they
insist that England demand from Ger
many Stewart's release.." i.MV?:?-'

to three and a half years imprison

announcement means that President Ma

cause of th warning, as it was pointed
out mat ix the united States does at
tempt intervention no opportunity to de
stroy American lives or property would
be overlooked by the rebel forces.
