Cherokee Drug Co. mine inspector of the Ninth district upon coming to the pit mouth after hours’ of work of rescue in the mine stated that he believed that by to night all the bodies will have been removed from the mine. A general appeal lor aid for the families of the miners who lost their lives through the explosion will lie issued from the little mining village of Harwick with in tho next 48 hours. An effort will be made to raise at least 51'kOOO which amount, it is fig ured, will be adequate to provide for the suffering and almost destitute wo men and children until the warmer weather comes or until some perma nent arrangement can be made for caring for them. Bodies Brought to Surface. Forty-nine hours after the explosion in the Warwick mine the first first dead body was hoisted to the sur face. It was 9:18 this morning when the first body was hoisted from the bottom of the pit. Then one at a time, 21 othei*s wore brought from the black hole and carried to the morgue at the school house. Among the bodies found was that of a stranger. Clothes were on it, and It was only slightly burned. Who he was or what he was doing in the mine no ono knows. He may have caused the explosion by lighting a match. Against the theory that the stran ger might have caused the explosion Is the fact that it woufd he contrary to all precedent for him to have been allowed to enter the mine unless hi gave up the matches he carried and went, under the care of an experienced guide. H. A. McMillan, who lead one party of searchers, said: Head Blown from His Body. "Fifteen bodies were found in Butt No. I 1 , of the south entry. All of them, with the exception ot the strati ger, were badly burned and mangled. On man’s head, was blown off. In the soufti entry we found two men ly ing face downward near each other. These had evidently been killed by the force of the explosion. In an other place we found six men, all no groes, I believe. Five were in a hen]), and one was pinned under a car. \V * found the driver of that entry lying along the roadway, where he had been blown. Rooms ten and twelve south entry were caved in to the depth of 5 feet. There are several men bur led there, as there are undoubtedly men buried under the rocks of the mine. For this reason it will h weeks before all of tho bodies are re covered.” Inspector Cunningham says tho air in tho mine is getting bettor every hour, but there is still considerable gas encountered. From the condi tion of the bodies he thinks now that the men were killed by the force of tho explosion and not by afterdamp, as at first suggested. but the number coincides with the sentence he received. In the middle ot tho sheet appears the word "in tent," the last word Wright wrote, j The opposition papers continue mak ing trenchant comments on the gov-1 eminent which, they say, "declined to i do its duty for reasons now shown to j have been absurd in law and whicn ! are always repugnant to common sense.’’ "The handling of this matter.” says ; The Westminster Gazette, "has re-; fleeted more discredit on the govern ment than its other mistakes with even craved consequences. Distin-1 gulshed people were Involved and 1 some of them have had happy es-! capes.” The Financial News on this point says: “Wright might have made disclos ures which may have seriously dls-! comforted some people, but he was I ioyai as well as courageous, and he were given to her brotner. Tne finding of tho broken pin two blocks from the scene ot the final ; struggle might indicate, otiicers say, 1 that a struggle between Miss Schaefer j and her murderer, ensued this dis tance from tho scene ot the tragedy, i Belief is growing among the members I of the court of Inquiry that a black I man Is the murderer. Particular at tention will be paid to such men as would be likely to have carried horse ha:rs on their clothing. If such a man were the slayer ot Miss Schaefer, the presence of the red hairs in her clothing might be explained. It is pointed out that tnore is much evidence leading to the conclusion of assault, and only as sault, was the motive for the heinous crime. The use of a brick as a weap on indicates to those directing the work that a low grade man was the criminal. The brick used could scarc*'- ) noti ng, burning, itching skin ciiseasa will lisappear. “I was t .ken with an itching on my t-ms w hich ; loved very disagreeable.

Figuring that the 35 mines not yet heard from will make as good a re port as they did in 1902, tho output will then reach 11,079,000. Averaging the amount of coal used of all the mines for boilers and sold to minors and others in the minnig camps at 3.000.000 tons, the estimate made for tho year 1903 of 12,000,000 tons will be reached with ease.
