Their part in the programme included solos and duets as well as choral work. The Cornish children‘s choir was under the direction ‘of Mr. E. Stephens and the singing of the youngsters was creâ€" ditable alike to the children and to their director Mr. Stephens. Mrs. Herbert Curnow played the piano accompaniâ€" ments for the children‘s choir. After the children‘s choir, there were selecâ€" tions by a group of 20 male Cornish voices.

The men are John Hulubec, 33, and Vito Vlaisaygevich, 40. The two men were drilling in a drift which extended from the 2700 foot level to the level above, a distance of 125 feet, The air blast crumbled the walls of the drift in on them. Very little hope is held out that the two men will be brought out alive, The Mine Manager, E. W. Todd, has been quoted as saying that he believed there was very little hope. Last night rescue men were within forty feet of the men, they believed, but their work was hampered by a minor air blast which occurred since that time and toâ€"day officials believe that an« other day will be ncessary. However the work may be accomplished in less than that time. Physicians and first alid equipment are standing by ready for the eventu=« ality of their rescue. First reports to this district indicated that many other men had been hurt in the blast, It was later learned that a fortunate delay which prevented the shift from getting to work on time pro«â€" bably saved many lives. The shock could be felt above ground and was reported to have stopped clocks and broken china a mile from the scene, Handsome Bonus for Mclntyre Employees Announcement â€" Made Toâ€" day of New Year Bonus. MciIriyre employees were paid last week and so the next regular pay beâ€" ing along in the New Year it might be expected that after the Christmas holiday time many would be cramped for cash. That is not the case, howâ€" ever, with McIntyre employees.. Today cheques were issued for the New Year bonus to McIntyre employees, and this year the bonus is equal to a regular pay (half monch). The McIntyro New Year‘s bonus is based on the number‘ of day‘s work given by the employees, the amount being calculatâ€" ed on a total of 311 working days. The fact that this year‘s bonus is larger than last year is proof that it deserves the name of ‘handsome" and comes at an opportune time. Death Yesterday of Infant Son of Mr. and Mrs. M.
