No. 1 of the Phelps Dodge Corpora-
tion yesterday had been recovered
uing early this morning. The pros-
pects, however. were that the others
would not be reached until later in
the day.
As soon as the entrance. which had
been blocked by the explosion. could
be cleared. exploration of the mine
was begun under the direction of the
manager and general superintendent.
The first men reached were the mo-
torman and nipper. who were only I.
tshort distance inside the mine. Both
were dead.
As ventilation was% restored by
construction of temporary stopping:
on cross cuts. the rescuers proceeded
into the mine.
They encountered numerous falls
and considerable debris. At midnight.
the rescuers had gone approximately
a mile underground. but they had not
reached the actual working places of
the miners.
One hundred and fortswme miners.
entered the mine yesterday. but nine-
teen of them had checked out _before
the explosion. so that 1:: men wet.

pened. .

A statement by the Phelps-Dodge
Corporiflou to the Associated Press
“Owing to the fumes which perine-
ated the mine following the explosion.
very little hope is entertained that
any of the men who were in the
mine will be found alive.”
AUTO CONTEST
GROWS KEENER
l
No limit is placed on the number
of ;votes that can be credited to any
candidate in the automobile prize con-
test before the close of the second
vote period tomorrow night. at 8
o'clock. Every encouragement possi-
ble has been placed in the way of the
workers that they may rate a sub-
stantial vote reserve before the final
hour of this big period ends.
If it were true that only the votes
on the regular schedule will reduce
with the start of the third period.
Monday, February.12. then this in it-
self should be simple reason for each
candidate going to the extreme in per-
sonal effort in order to get every sub.
scription possible turned in at the
ampaign office before the new re-
duced schedule. becomes effective. .
But there is another reason why
these subscriptions should be obtained
this week. If you are one of those
wide awake candidates who will be
satisfied with nothing short of one of
the cars at the close of the conted:
you will recognise instantly the im-
portance of what is to follow. The
:20 clubs is the second reason. and
wath' out doubt the more important.
