Later a two-fo- ot drift was car-ried through and with lighted candles, which was later changed to carbide lamps, the imprisoned men were watching their res-cuers, and in a short time were able to crawl to meet their friends who were on the tunnel level waiting to meet them. Nor-de- n was in good shape, as was the Mexican, considering their fifty-si- x hours' confinement. N'orden was taken to his home and Ratalaza was moved to the Bingham hospital, where he stated he had been. in a similar cave-i- n for about the same length of time at Sunnyside. After the entombed men had gotten away from their confine-ment, the rescue party found the crushed and lifeless body of O. C. Nelson, which was removed at 2 a. m. on Friday morning and (taken to the O'Donnell parlors. His body was shipped later to Salt Lake City, where his family thought the rest of the miners had been killed, altho work was being persistently carried on. About 8 o'clock on Thursday morning Elmer Bonnett, the shift boss, heard faint tappings, lie stopped work and gave a signal, which was replied to by Supt. Norden, a signal of three raps. The news soon spread over the camp and everyone con-nected with the rescue work seemed anxious to redouble their efforts if possible. Master Me-chanic Edward Morton's chisel-ing device, which consisted of a chisel fixed into a jack-hamm- er with the rotation removed, was used and much headway was made with this device, and at 10 o'clock p. m. the voice of Xordcn could be heard. At first it was hoped all five men en-tombed were alive, but finally it was given out that Norden and Ratazala were the only live persons there. The dead body of O. C. Nelson lay beside these men. About 9:,i0 p. m Shift Boss Bonnett was able to crawl in underneath the stope where the men were confined and hand-ed Norden and Ratazala an axe and saw, so that they could cut thru the wood floor to meet the rescuing party. A wire was pro-cured and passed thru the hole, and soup, coffee, sandwiches and Supt. Joseph Norden Superintendent Joseph Norden, Joe Ratalaza, an electric loco-motive engineer, O. D. Baker and Frank Ortez are the only survivors of a party of eight men who went into the 1500-fo- ot level of the Utah-Ape- x mine to retimber the No. 20 stope, on Tuesday morning. The stope was over 70 feet wide and 70 feet high, and was not filled in. About 4:30 p. m. a cave-i- n oc-curred, just a few minutes be-fore Foreman Eden advised that work cease, as falling dirt and cracking timbers indicated there was not much headway being made. The men who were with Supt. Joseph Norden, Richard Armstrong, married ; O. C. Nel-son, married; Charles Tarker, married; O. D. Baker, married; Joe Ratalaza, single, and Frank Ortez, single, started down the laddcrway when the crash came and were overwhelmed with crashing timbers, dirt and bould-ers. O. D. Baker was thrown by the concussion to a distance of twenty feet, as was the mo-torma-helper, Frank Ortez. Dan Eden, the foreman, who was following them, was caught in the cavc-i- n and instantaneous-ly killed. His body was re-covered bv an ardent band of workers at" about VIM m morning. The body was removed to the O'Donnell parlors and after enre-- I fid examination no bones were f,n.d to he broken, although his l,(,dv wa badly bruised.

The men not yet found are Richard j Armstrong, married, and Charles Parker, who was married to Mrs. Rose Bloom on September j!)th of this year. Kwianis Doings " At the weekly luncheon last Thursday the local Kiwanis Club had its usual interesting lunch-eon and meeting. The program was in charge of Trustee II. B. Aven and the speakers of the evening f were local members. Geo. Earl gave a very interesting talk on engineering, paying par-ticular attention to the features of the Utah Copper. Boyd Bar-nard gave a financial report of the town of Bingham and the accomplishments of the present administration, showing the good work done and the plans for the future. This talk was listened to with keen interest by all pres-ent. The talk was not only in-structive, interesting and enter-taining, but was an evidence of the fact that the local adminis-tration was doing things for Bingham, and doing it in the right way. Earl Nepple gave a talk on how to run a boarding house and his experiences were a revelation to most of his au-dience. The meeting then re-solved itself into a general dis-cussion on the work and accom-plishments of Kiwanis in Bine-- ham. in which almost all the members took part. As a whole, the meeting was very lively and showed the real Kiwanis spirit on the part of the members, all showing a keen interest in any-thing and everything that re-ferred to the advantage of our community. The musical por- tion of the program was also well done, despite the evident bashfulncss of the director for the evening and the epidemic of colds that seemed to have a ten-dency to give color to Judge Dudley's remarks about cold leet. Wesley King is to address the club on "Finance" at the meeting on Thursday, October Card of Thanks Mrs. D. Christopherson of 217 Main street extends her sincere thanks to the members of the L. I). S. Relief Society for the surprise given her on Monday last in honor of her 80th birth-day. Do You Want a Govern-ment Job?
