despair and dfsolation generally has
settled over the poor mlncN at lho
Diamond. Tho number drowned is
definitely settled at soventvfoiir. Aft
already stated the grcater'portion of
families who sufler ato or foitlgit

country but a short time .Prairies
about the shafts are a wide avusIo of

Daly.anuw hand stood at his ost.
When ho saV the water gaining on
him instead of Hounding thu alarm
ko rushed to tho top or tho shaft to
seo K the pumps wcro at work. Upon
his return he round tho water up to
his want he then directed tho drivers
to run back and escape by tlio air shaft
and yell to the men as they ran and
did what ho could himself. Uo paved
ono boy all he could reach vyhen ho
nsceuded and sounded tho stoniu
whistle which callad out the
villagers. When lho company
he.ird of lho accident they til
oneo telegraphed Chicago to " have
as many donkey pumps as could bo
collected sent out to assist In remov-
ing tho water fiom the mine.
They then organized a movement to
If possible render aid to those either
dead or confined In some nT tho air
chambers. A largo division 6f minors
and several tennis weie sent lo work to
put a dam around the hoh admitting
tlio water to tho mine to pvevent lho
mine from (Induing tho miles of level
flooded prnrle that surrounded the
works. OlBcers of tho coinp-iny ex-

manned early this forenoon but then
was no use to attempt to put j ilur
mine until the hole was 'stopped up
as there Is enough water lying upon
the surface of tho country to fill a
small lako. It Is thought by practical
miners that no bodies will bo recov-
ered for many days. Matters will bo
rushed and no money and trouble
spared to make aspeedyrttid of the bur-
ied dead or alive. Ono of tlio sadist fea-
tures of the case is tho fact that most of
tho drowned men are men with fam-
ilici depending on their support.
What a scene of devastation and desti-
tution the town of Diamond presents
ono can readily conceive of when they
think forty-six wldnwti nro left to tell
the tale or this olio of tho most horri-
