CHERRY, 111. Nov. 23? Fire again
broke out In the main shaft of the
St. Paul mine at midnight. The de
struction of the mp.ln shaft Is threat
ened. The renewal "f the fire has
caused the abandonment of all hope
of rescuing the miners who may be
imprisoned alive in the mine. One
hundred and eighty-nine miners are
j still unaccounted for. Only twenty
one miners have been rescued alive
from the mine.
(Note. Owing to a typographical
error In yesterday's Alaskan It was
stated the report of last Saturday
that 142 men were rescued from the
lower level of the mino was true.
This should have read "untrue."
The report was erroneous.)
