A message from tho head- quarters of the Hecla mine stated that the- total number of bodies recovered up to 1 o'clock was 18. Officials of the Amal- gamated here are inclined to be- lievo that the reports of the two disasters have been confused and that the total was doubled In the larger estimate. The more conservative mining men stated this afternoon that they be- lleved the total loss of life would,. be below 50. -'" rtJNITED rHEHS LEASED WlnB.l Wallace, Ida., Feb. 28.
