Despite the danger attached to the work of rescue the miners of the Minnie Hcaley kept right on with it. But It web not until 6 o'clock that the body of Haggerty was found and taken to the surface. That of Furlong will probably not be reached for hours. As for the boOIes of Dwyer and Abraham, Abra-ham, It Is believed they were too far In when the warning of the call came to make any considerable run for safety, and it la likely to be days before they are reached. Trinettl was not killed directly by the fall, but as a consequence of it. Like the others he heard t,lie thing coming and made a dash for safety. In doing so he ran into a chute, down which he fell. His dead body was found' In the man-way man-way at the bottom of the chute. The work of recovering the remaining bodies will proceed slowly, as the man-agementof man-agementof the mine will not let thc rescue party endanger any more lives, for the reason that there io not a chance that any of the men can be found alive, Thc Minnie Healey mine la being worked bv the Montana Ore Purchasing company." It is the property thathe-camo thathe-camo celebrated because of the great I legal battle for the ownership, which at present resta with the Montana Ore Purchasing company. |
