SniinVeii were lighted today in the I.' tali" Apex mine, where Ralph Lopez, de.vp'ra4lo, is maJcrrur hia lo.t utand. With all e?tits to the mine e.xeept that of the Andy tunntJ hrattieeil and sealed with rroud and with poisomms gases floating" hack' into the depths of the worjeirors, it was expected that the fugitive would m.'uke a break, for liberty today. A large amount of dynamite is stored in the mine, and knowing Lopez could easily blorw out one of the Mdkhead'f, th se-en sher iff . early today stationed a doz en di.j'uties at ea'h of the Vt tunrel rnonifhs with orders to !li4t him on sight. The 10,000 inhfdiitants cf this canyon walled mining town, de-p in drift of snow, were waitimg in tense excitement for the de-n-mrncement of the man hunt that alrcafy has cost six live. On November 21 Lopez killed a Mexican miner arwl later in the day he killed the chief of police, ami two deputies who pursued him. After a chase through sev eral counties he back-tracked to Bingham arwl took refuge in the Utah-Aix mine, where he killed two more deputies last Saturday. A more dramatic setting for the ermlir: of the career of Lopez could hardly be found. The mine is located near the top of a pre cipitous wall of the cnayon ami from any of its 13 tunnel mouths one could throw a stone that would descend for nearly 1,000 feet before it strvwik. Here and there a miner's cabin clings to the cliff and from one of these a widow aat watching today for the avenging of her husband's death. Uiist trffore jioon thrTntrnth oft the Andy tunnel was stopped witl a bulkhead and the fumes of a suphur smudge were directed in- the mine through an openirng. Bulkheads were placed in the other mine mouths yesterday ami at noon smudges of various com positions were sending their pois onous fumes back" into every tun nel. If Lopez docs not atteannt to reaic irut it wa planned to on tintk the smmtging for two days.
