On the 3900 level the total footage will be reduced to 8 feet after five feet of rock has been blasted away tonight. 1 Think Men Perished Meanwhile, on the assumption that many if not all the entrap ped miners halve Perished, prep arations went forward to care for the bodies suspected to bej re covered.

It may be that the wages won't reach the war-profiteer's level but if the crop should not be harvested, to put this money into circulation in the valley; many a fastidious maid and matron and dapper young sprout who expect paw to furnish home and money, will find their raiment and their spending money cut 'way short.
