Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach S
th dis»as»<1 portion of the ear. There la
oni> one way to cure deafneas. and that ia
by cous:ltutlonal remedies Deafn»ss la
caus.u by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lln.ng of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you hare a rumbling
sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and «
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condl- f
tloi., hearing will be destroyed forever; nine **
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh. B
which Is nothing but an inflamed condition I
of the mucous surfaces. «

Are Forced To
Quit Rescue Work
(Continued from page 1.)
on rescue work should be taken
out immediately. TJtils recommenda
tion was immediately carried out,
a'taudpning all th.e underground
equipment and. machinery.
in my opinion the cava was caus
ed due to the action of the water
passing through. some slips on. the
tan.ing wall side. This action
continued until it made a weak
vclnt, wiiich might liave been eitli
er below pa- above the 3U0 Btope;
and wa3 unavoidable owing to the
| fact that it could not and was uot
noticed Dy any of the mine staff or
ithe miners.
I Mr. Berg was particularly atten
tive *0 his woxk and gave practical
ly all of his time and attention, in
directing thtj underground work.
IHs shift bossos, Norman McLeod,
Robert Adams and George Uonilntrc
vicu were competent and experienc
ed miners.
Tlie mine was exoepuonuiuy wen
t'nbered and: all apparent weak
points wero bulkheaded. The least
distance of solid ground between
the 300 level and toj> of the wcxrk
•'iigs ou tho 400 level was 4 0 foet,
and at 'hie point tlie ground was
only mined 3 seta wide by 2 sets
long, a space of 15x10 feet and one
of these se's was oa the solid or
footwall, thereby leaving u space of
only 5 square sets well timbered.
Therefore, I do not believe that
tie workings on tlie 400 level were
directly tho cause of the cave.*
FINDING
After hearing the foregoing evi
dence the inspectors appealed by
Geo.. N. Williams, Esquire, mlmiu
istrator Yukon territory, under sec
tion 8, chapter 45, Miner's Protec
tion ordinance of the Yukon terri
tory, find:
1. We consider that the cave-in,
or collapse, of the gtopes from the
200 foot to the 400 foot levels was
nn unavoidable accident.
. 2. The direct cause cf the cave
in, or collapse, of the stopes we
believe to have been from ti e many
water courses, which washed away
the silt, sand; etc., which acted as
binders. The Fueblo mine Is what
is known as a "wet mine," and
there are many water courses turn
out the property, and it is prob
able 'hat water had accumulated in
swu« unknown chamber in such vol
jume as to cause groat pressure,
and this pressure would find an
exP at the pom* of least resistance,
'and if such point happened to be
in the hanging walls of one cf the
stopes it would naturally cause the
cave-in, or collapse; and if the
hanging wall gave way iit would be
natural fo«r the pilar above, or
the back, to fall in.
3. Tho system of timbering iu
the Pueblo mine was what is kii'iwn
as "square setting," a system,
which wo consider tiie strongest
and safest known. We believe that
♦ho. timbering of this mine wis
•tone in a scenlific and wovkman
'like manner, and the evidence

4. We believe that the rnanage

working ' tie Pueblo property, used

they considered necessary to safe
guard the lives of the employes; in

The Best Footwear Ever Made
For You, Mr. Miner! ^
"Hipress"—the original White Rubber Boots and Shoes—repre
sents tFe biggest advance the world has ever seen in the method of
making rubber footwear. By a wonderful new process Goodrich auto
tire rubber—the toughest, longest wearing rubber ever known—is
molded into One Solid Piece boots and shoes. Of course, Goodrich
—the Company that has supplied you with Everything that's Best
in Rubber for nearly half a century—invented this great improve
ment. Goodrich alone makes boots this way.
The soles will far outwear hob-nailed leather soles—they actually wear
longer than steel. And every "Hipress" boot or shoe is just One Solid Piece
of rubber—molded to fit your foot. Just think what that means, Mr. Miner!
No neelino—no cracks—no leaks.
"Hipress" is the only footwear that will stand your
working conditions. Ask your dealer for tlic boots
or shoes with the "Red Line "Round the Top.'*
