With a terrific roar, which was followed by a rapid succession of artll- ery-likdetonations, all the craters of the volcano entered Into full activity, spouting flames and lava, and throwing out huge boulders. Great streams of lava soon were rushing down the slopes, cutting off the villagers from escape.

In support of their belief they declare that Lopez bad many avenues of escape from the mine before guards were placed at the lower portals and that he would have been afforded ample protection at the hands of countrymen in Bingham. According to one of those familiar with the workings of the Utah-Apemine, Lopez could have left the mine within twenty-fou- r hours after the shooting with the regular corps of miners at the expiration of any shift He would have found It necessary to pass casually a shift bosa and It la said that If he appeared disguised as a miner, swinging a lunch bucket, little attention probably would have been paid htm.

Saturday was pay day for govern ment employees and In almost all de partments there was little delay In meeting the pay rolls. That tne gov ernment may not be able to float another loan is conceded by Mexicans generally, but none has lost slsht of the fact that the country I rich and that General Huerta as a last resort would not hesitate to take money where he could find It CURRENCY BILL SLASS-OWE- .
