81 ANOTHER CflVE-IH !
It Adds to the IDrror of the Plttston
Mine Fatality.
FIYE BRAYE VOLUNTEERS ESCAPE.
They Had Started on a Danserous Mission
In Response to Reports of Rapping
From tho Doomed Miners Relief
For the Destitute Families.
WlMCKSliAliRK, Ph., July 1. It Is now
stated that thero nro flfty-ninoinon, living
r dead, Imprisoned In tho depths of tho
doomed Twin mlno. This is tho official
number, and thero is norenson to think it
Incorrect. Tho company has completed o
careful canvass of all tho men who wer!
nt -work on Saturday night, and tho sun!
total of tho inon lost In tho disaster, En
glish speaking and foreigners, aggregate
this flguro. Tho relatlvos of flvo other
Hungarians declaro that thoso men, too,
ore among tho victims, but this is dis
puted by tho timekeeper, who says that
tho Huns drow their pay last week and
went to Pittsburg to work in tho soft coal
mlnos. Thoy simply deserted their fam
ilies, but their women will not bollovo it.
At midnight tho situation was moro en
couraging than It has boon at any time
slnco tho cavcln. Tho rescuers had reached
tho odgo of tho fallen rock and had begun
to load It In cars, which aro hoisted to tho
head of tho slopo by u stationary cnglno.
Tho point whoro tho men nro supposed to
bo is still 600 foot boyond. Tho gas is not
so bad as it has been, and thero Is no sign
of tho river water flowing Into tho mlno.
When tho 11 o'clock shift enmo out of
tho mlno last night somo of tho men re
ported having heurd what they thought
were rappings in that part of tho mlno
whoro tho victims aro supposed to bo Im
prisoned. This Immediately revived tho
hopo that the men might bo alive, al
though tho officials place little rellanco on
this story. Flvo bravo fellows, bonded by
Daniel Lehr, volunteered to crawl ovcrtho
wall and seo what could bo seen. They
were told that they mado tho journey at
their own risk, and replied that thoy wero
satisfied. Thoy ore Daniel Lehr, David
Conncll, James Million, James O'Hrlcn
and Jnmos Lynott, all slnglo men.
Another oxtcnslvo envein occurred In
the workings of tho Twin shaft shortly
after midnight. Tho cavcln was In that
portion of tho mino where tho victims are
thought to bo. It made a tcrrlflo report,
and was heard all over tho town. Tho fall
must havo boon a vury heavy one. It had
tho effect of driving tho rescuers out of tho
slope, for tho tlmbers.nround them Imme
diately began to sway and crack. A fall
in tho slopo mny occur at any moment.
Tho news of tho second cavei n has had a
most discouraging efToct on everybody, as
it Is conceded, oven by tho famlllos of tho
victims that thero Is now nuhopoottholr
over escaping alive. Tho livo men who
had volunteered to climb the- walls were
not caught in tho last fall. Thoy escaped
safely to tho head of tho slopo.
Tho bore hole which was started In tho
Cloar Spring mino, which adjoins tho
Twin shaft, to pierce tho pillar of 100 feet
of solid coal between tho workings of tho
two mines has not proved as successful as
was hoped. 'When tho drill was in about
thlrty-llvo feet It struck rook and had to
bo abandoned. At noon yesterday n now
holo was started.
Tho mass meeting of citizens hold In tho
Plttston Opera IIouso last night for tho
purpose of taking steps to provide relief
for tho famlllos of tho victims was largely
attended. Committees wero appointed to
solicit subscriptions and provide for tho
immediate relief of thoso lit want.

TUMBLERS
A very important and dangerous pieco of
work has just been completed at the, Girard
Mammoth colliery, operated by tlio Philadel
phia and Heading Coal and Iron Company at
Haven Itun. It comprised tlio tapping of au
enormous body of water which rested in an
aliandoncd portion of tlio mine since tlio timo
several men wero closed in there, about
clcveu years ago.
The operation took placo in the fifth lift of
tho Duck Mountain vein and tho total dis
tance driven to inako tlio tap was about 200
feet. Tho released part of tho mino is on
the south dip of tho vein.
Tho ollicials wero jubilant over tho suc
cessful termination of the undertaking as
when the water is fully drawn oir an Im
menso body of excellent coal that will give
tho colliery renewed life for several years
will bo ready for mining. Among tho offi
cials present when the tapping was made
wero District Superintendent Monroe T.
Schrcfiler, District .Superintendent John
Carl, Inside Foreman Charles Hurler and
Iiesidcut Engineer Frank Weiser.
Extraordinary precautions wero taken In
prosecuting tlio work and the laws requiring
that advance holes bo kept constantly in
play was rigidly adhered to. Tho work con
sumed about two months and thero was no
accident from beginning to cud. Fivo men
worked on a shift. For tlio first one hundred
feet an opening 12 feet wide and 10 feet high
was driven. For tlio next seventy-five feet
the opening was 5 feet square, and the balance
of tlio distance was drilled, the hole being
about "1 inches in diameter.
The body of water released is estimated at
several thousand gallons and as the drill hole
is tho only means of cscapo it is believed
that several weeks will bo consumed before
tho workings aro drained. Tlio water flows
into the sum) of the old slopo that was re
opened about n year ago with the work now
in hand in view. The water is pumped to
tho surface by two new pumps stationed for
the purpose. The pumps aro 11x31 of t ho
I. & 11. improved pattern. Tho work re
quired to release tho body of water is among
tlio most dangerous in milling operations. It
was whilo pursuing tho same kind of work

found until nearly 1 o'clock this morning and
it is considered miraculous that lie did not
bleed to death.
