All Hope Has V anished
The Mine to be Sealed With
Cement Aud Nearly Two Hun
dred Bodies Will Remain There
For About Three Months.
-
FIRE IS STILL RAGING.
Cherry, 111-, Nov. 25. ? The doom
of the St. Paul mine has been fixed.
The bodies of nearly 200 men are en
tombed within If depths today and
a concrete wall has scaler* up the flre
soared mouth of the mine. Hope of
ever recovering the bodies o t the
mine victims has vanished in the iace
trf? the step taken by the mine offl
cials. The sealing of the mine was
the last recourso. .
For three months the seal Is to re
main untouched. Not until the fierce
and dangerous fire that is now rag
lug but a lew feel below lllf nurfaie
is smothered, will the wall be re
moved. Cherry is in a state of un
rest. The revolt of the miners
against the step taken by the mine
officials was open and ominous.
Sorrow-stricken women &nd chil
dren who have lived in the hope of
reruveting the bodies of their dead
were inconsolable. The ten picked
men of the Chicago fire department
who have done such heroic but fruit
less work in fighting the fire were
recntted today.
? Mine experts, r.ijpe inspectors and
miners fium eierr part of the com*?
try,' who gathered at the scetic of 4 he
greatest mine' disaster of the middle
West, prepared to go to their homes,
realizing that their work is over.
Many men in Cherry still cling to
the belief that with the sealing of tho|
p.ilue llvfng njf?n Jiare been- doomed to
death.
gcoYt the idea and I
state that Fitch is an impossibility.
"Nothing ca?i be done until the fire
lias died out and the extreme dan
ger. of eruVrir.ir iha shaft is eliminat
ed." declared \V. W. Taylor, sui'.erin
lendent of the mine.
Cherry is*-a city of sadness and
