Our Resources are over THREE MILLION DOLLARS. home, after having, been on duty at the mine since eight o'clock last night A Gazette reporter talked with him over the 'phone, and learned a few particulars in regard to the work that is being done In the mine. He said that all told about 70 men are employed in the rescue gang. Fifty of these are engaged in erecting heavy timbers all around the fall, in order to hold up the roof.

The rock between the Pittston vein and the Checker vein is so thin that, the Checker vein is repeatedly crushing in. It is necessary to place almost solid timber work in place, to hold up the roof. This is being done in a complete circle around the fall. Twenty men are engaged in removing the fallen mass of rock and coal that is either surrounding or lying" upon the imprisoned men. v.

They are "working from two sides, and it is estimated that it will be necessary for them to dig for a distance of 25 or 30 feet before the men can be: reached. Mr. McDonald thinks there is no possible chance of removing sufficient of the fall to reach the men before tomorrow morning. Asked as to the chances for the imprisoned, he says that it is barely possible two of them may be alive, but nothing certain can be said on this point.

The system that is being installed requires the erection of many pipes around that section of the building to be used as refrigerators.

Mr. Crawford is in charge of the work of installing the refrigerat ing apparatus.

They are still hopeful that their loved ones may yet be reached in time to save his Ufa Two of the missing men reside in Duryea and there has been great anxiety over the fate of the, men among the residents of that toWn, since both of the victims are among the best known residents of Duryea. Joseph Gregler is about 50 years of age and resides on New street. He is a native of Germany, but for the past 25 years has been a resident of Duryea, having been among the early German settlers of the town.

He Was an active member of the Sacred Heart congregation.

He is about 50 years of age and is He has a wife and two daughters, both of whom are residents of "Victor, Col.

The members of the Gregler and Koenlg families were not aware the danger that overshadowed the men until about six o'clock last evening and there has since been great anxiety and suspense, owing to the absence of definite news in regard to their fate. The fourth man behind the fall is James Boyle, one of the best known residents of Inkerman. Mr. Boyle has been a resident of the village for the past ten years' and his family occupies one of. the Gorman houses, situated just in, the rear of Gorman's store.

He is about 35 years of age, and his family consists of his wife and four children two sons and two daughters. He is a member of St. Mark's Catholic Church. Hope Has Been Abandoned. Word comes from the scene' the accident this afternoon at four o'clock that all hope for the rescuing the imprisoned men alive has practically been abandoned.

The res cue work has been pushed as rapidly possible throughout the day. General Manager Inglis, Inside Fore, man Louis Sarge and Outside Fore man Thomas Huntley have been on duty ever since the accident occurred, and they declare that the work in the tunnel will not be abandoned until the men are This after noon, the news that came from the face of the, cave in the tunnel was to the effect, that the Work of the res cuers was becoming more dangerous every minute, owing to continuous falls of coal and rock. Some of these falls have driven the rescuers back ward, so that time has been lost on this account, he greatest precau tion is necessary in order to avoid having any of the rescuers caught under the falling roof. Experienced rockmen and' fimbormnn from the othor collieries of the Pennsylvania Co. have been called to the scene, and fresh hands will take hold of the work, this evening, in order that as rapid progress, as possible can bo made.

'At four o'clock, it was said that there, was no 'possible chance of reaching the men this afternoon. Tons upon rtons of rock and coal must be removed before the men can reached, and every foot of progress made must be strongly timbered to prevent further accidents. This Is very laborious work and it goes slowly. A large number of curious people are gathered around the entrance to the tunnel and some of the relatives the entombed men are also on hand, anxiously waiting news that the men have been reached. Two ambulances are at the scene and fresh horses are attached to them at regular periods in order that the imprisoned men can be hurried to their homes to the hospital if they are found alive, it being a very general conclusion that the men have been injured falling coal, if not killed outright.

Drury Prices through the merchant you designated and who receives from us a 10 cent value for each bottle he gives away on our order and for which you are under no obligation to him, we find that a few of the grocers whose names were given are not desirous of giving you the best value to which your, money entitles you.

AVo admit that C. C. Parsons' House hold Ammonia costs the merchant more than the cheap, worthless, imitations that they have or may offer the public, but C. C. Parsons' Household Ammonia, is CHEAPEST for the housekeeper consumer to buy.

because, it is. four times stronger and does jjigt' ifor. USS, aa. much good, besides being (GUARANTEED to be absolutely harmless to skin or fabrics. We intend, therefore, for the information of the thous onds of readers of this paper to publish a complete list of the merchr ants who do consider quality of paramount importance, and to whom C.

C. Parsons' Household Ammonia has appealed and who are desirous of giving their customers the best value procurable. The grocer who offers you a substitute for C. C. Parsons' Household Ammonia under the guise of "just as good" is guilty of deception, and i1 he docs it on one article he will do the same on another invariably to the loss of tho consumer.

We have conducted our campaign on strictly honest methods and are offering your orders to the grocer you mentioned (irrespective of the size of tho store or the limitations of his pocketbook) for acceptance and if his name does not appear in the list which will be published of which you will be advised by mail in due time, you may feel assured that he is conducting his business for making unreasonable profits out of the money for which some member of the family no doubt works hard for. In these days when everything is higher in price than formerly and it costs you more to live, don't you think you owe it to your selves to economize where it is possible? You were informed that C. C. Parsons' Household Ammonia costs you no more than ordinary, impure, harmful and uncertain brands and you were tendered little pink books containing valuable information. We will say in conclusion that we will agree to give away $3,000.00 to Any Charitable Institution If C.

C. Parsons' Household Ammonia, is not all it Is claimed to be. Your grocer can get his supply from any of the jobbers. 'We especially request the ladies to mention the fact to their grocer that they have placed an order for the above through him. If he tells you he will not honor your order we will see that you are provided at our expense, no matter what the cost may be.

It is always best to give our demonstrators two merchants' names. In cose one should not be desirous of supplying you with C. C. Parsons' Household Ammonia the other surely will. There are still some jive merchants left who desire to handle first class goods and wc will tell you who they are When we pub lish their names.
