THE NINES ALIVE THE IMPRISONED MEN AT DUNBAR HEARD FROM. A CORPS OF PHYSICIANS ON HAND. Duxsanr, Pa, June 19,~The im- prisoned miners have been heard from. At 4 o'clock this evening, the men working in the head of the entry, through which the rescuing party is working its way, sent word down the entry to keep quiet. Sveryone did so, and in a moment ‘pick,’ **pick,” for a dozen times, came the signal from the inside. Then the men went to work with renewed vigor. The men in- side cannot be reached for many hours yet. The rescuing party Is within a few feet of the line leading from the Ma- honing to the Hill Farm mine; bat, after that Is reached, the men will have to drive through 75 feet of coal to reach their comrades, The news that the entombed winers had blen heard from spread quickly throughout the little mining town, and in a short time the mouth of the Mahoning mine was crowded. At least 500 people were gathered there, It was composed of men, women and children. The excitement grew more intense each moment and the crowd gathered 80 closely about the mouth of the pit that the coal and iron police were finally compelled to move them back. About 8 o'clock Mine Boss, (Gray came up from the slope with the report that the sound of the tapjing against the wall had been heard and that the res- cuers were working like heroes. At ll o'clock a thousand people were at the mine. In some way or other the news was spread that the men were safe. Every one who had friends In the nsine was there, They came with brightened faces. An air of mystery swept over the place. Policemen were dumb, Wien a man came cut of the mines he was silent as the grave, Lit. tle Mary Smith, eight years cold, heard that the men were safe. Her father is in the mine, She came up alone, “Where 1s my father?’ she asked, as she came up to the mine barriers. * He is not out yet,” sald a man who stood by. The little girl burst into tears She was disappointed, Disappointment was not the word. It was more than that, It was grief only such as 1s seen under the most distressing circum- stances, in the evening. *“‘Yoa may say there are men down in the mine They have been We do not expect to reach them until 2 or 3 o'clock to-morrow morn They will betaken care of.

We haven't struck the vein, and we can't strike it now. In- dications are good, that's sure; but signs won't go with old Sharkey, He'll never put up the money on anything less than a big showing of ore. If Prang won’t give us a renewal of the lease, it’s good-by to the Dally Hope.” “He won't,” was the reply, made with conviction, *'He has been offered more money for the mine than we agreed to pay him in case we conclude to buy, and our time will be out at mid- night, He will be only too glad to have us fail in our part of the con- tract.” “Well, we have as good as failed now and there's no help for it; but I'm not disposed to give up the mine with- out making an effort to hold it, Go Tell him we will take him | in as a silent partner if he will let the | lease stand three months more, and | leave us the privilege of buying two- thirds interest at the end of that time at the original price, That may bring bim-—at least it's worth trying.” “Not while Blashford standd ready to outbid us in any offer we make,”” responded Duncan, down- | heartedly.

Well, I'll see what he has found,” A blow of the pick brought out the loosened fragments, and Marvhew tamped ina blast at the spot, which brought down the whole section of wall when he fired it, revealing a natural crevice which ran back a dozen feet, and was lined with a brilliant green in- crustation of lime crystals stained with copper, but the miner had no thought for the beauty of the place, He chipped off the surface covering and eagerly scanned the ore beneath; it was high-grade mineral, and the whole Jength and depth of the flssure lay within the vein which he had so acci- dentally stumbled upon, Here was the discovery they had been hoping to make, only a hundred times richer than they had dared to expect. But had it come in time to benefit them? Mayhew dropped his tools and rushed from the mine to glance at the sun rid- ing high overhead, and then gave a groan of exasperation as he remembered that Duncan’s horse was better than any one which he could procure for his own use in the camp, Notwithstanding this fact, Duncan’s progress down the mountain had been slow. He had little heart for his er rand, and less faith of convincing Prang that their prospects were worth more than Blashford’s offer of cash in hand, He rode along leisurely and stopped for a rest during the heat of the day, but as evening approached he pushed on more rapidly, and was within a few miles of town when a clatter of hoofs rose on the trail behind him, and his partner's voice called his name, “Duncan, hold on!

A —— a An Ancient Stone. An elliptical-shzped gray stone, prob. ably two feet In length and about six inches in diameter, was recently received at the White House, accompanied by a letter from Governor Prince, of New Mexico. He stated that the stone was of the idol age, anterior to the arrival of the Spaniards in the western conti. nent, and it was known to be over 300 years old. Among the Pueblo Indians the stone was venerated as a household god, and examination showed that with some rude tools an attempt had been made to depict eyes, nose and mouth on the upper fiat portion, while in the cen- tre crossed hands are easily discernible, It now rests on a shelf just above Pri. vate Secretary Halfords desk, and as a companion piece there Is a primitive gourd, which was sent to the White flouse by a North Carolina man, Ar the new woman's college in Balti. more, each applicant for a degree will be obliged to exercise in the gymnasium one hour on three days in each week.
