Condition OF the MInes-Auothor Body
Found Firo Nearly or Quite EXtin-

guished.
There appears to be but little, il any,
FIRE remaining in the Kentuck or Crown
Point mines to-day, and there is
thought TO be none at all in the Yellow
Jacket. Wherever any indications Of
fire show themselves, however, water or
steam is al oncs brought to bear in the
case, and no point is left unattended to
or unused which al assist in COM
pletely finishing the final eItinguish-
meut. The gaseous smoke has very
materially subsidized in the Crown Point
and Keutuck, and a temporary drift is
being run through the debris of a cave
at the I0O-foot level, ia the east ledge,
to connect with the Yellow Jacket, and
thus open u draft through at that point
which will have the effect TO expel the
foul air. Even in the Yellow Jacket
upper levels the mir is much i'm
proved, but is still unfit for men
10 exist or work in. All work in the
other mines is simply directed to closing
out what appearances Of fire thsre is'
still existing. Water is dripping
through the cayed debris into the 500
foot level of the Crown Point from the
levels above, showing that the water
has done its work pretty etfectually.
An attempt was made yesterday morn
ing to get at the bodies still remaining
in the 60o-foot level Of this mine, or
supposed to DO in some of the floors
above it. One body was found, but
was not brought out by reason Of the
gaseous smoke being so bad up in the
confined space where it was found, a
floor or two above the 6O0.foot level
that the mon had to hurry away. In
the course of n day or " they will
probably be more successful.

miners. 1t is perfectly iusIplosive, and
where this gas is exclusively present,
FIRE cannot burn at all, nor can a human
being exist more than a very few min
utcs. In all mines it is found more or
less abundant, and the degree Of its
presence ia readily indicated BY the
manner in which candles are found 10
burn. Il is heavier than common air,
therefore settles at the bottoms Of the
drifts and passages, and its presence is
notalways suspected even when abund-
a.utly present. Most undoubtedly the
death of those miners IN the Yellow
Jacket, Kentuck and Grown Point mines
was caused by carbonic acid gas aided
by smoke and other existing circum-
stances.
A REASONABLE THEORY.
The most intelligent theory sustained
by sound, practical observers, as well
NJ ourself, is simply this: According
to all testimony in this fearful matter,
the FIRE had been quietly burning for
four or Eve hours before it Was fully
discovered, the smoke gradually ao-
cumulating and filling the passages
until as q natural consequence Of the
,imbering being destroyed At that par
ticular point, an extensive cave OF
waste rock and earth filed into the
worked out space overhead, suddenly
took place, a cave which was soon after
ward known to be there by the 6rst ex-
plorers, and which had the Us .al effect
common to all similar caves. 1t filled
the drift passage and open space, and
very naturally and forcibly elected the
displaced air but through where it
could find the readiest egress, driving
the accumulated gas and smoke along
with il. Hence il was that it blew out
candles, pulled up through the shaft,
went rushing aud roaring through the
Keutuck and Crown Point, o%yertaking
with such a fatal suddenness 80 many
unfortunate victims. The heavy gas
charged smoke was plunged also
suddenly down to the levels below,
aud in q very few minutes tue few
miners down thore were made its VIC
tins. Then there was m evident re-
action and dissemination OF the fatal
gas in those lower levels, and separation
of the smoke, for inside OF six hours
men were enabled TO descend 10 the bot
tom Of both tho Kentuck ind Yellow
Jacket shafts, and subsequently, the
Crown PS;nt, and rescue the bodies of
many of The victims. Even to-day the
air At the lower levels Of all three
mines is comparatively good and en-.
durable, and were it not for the heat
and gaseous smoke the upper levels
might also DO explored with immunity.
This theory We have propounded may
no, be the trro one, but it is founded
upon fact and common sense, and will
hold good until a better on is ad-
vauced. As to that crazy m so
prevalent at San Francisco and else
whore among ignorant and stupid out
siders, 10 the effect that this terrible
Ere and calamity was all a "put up
job" for stock specializing purposes, it
i, too rid~iculously unreasonable and
dia5olisally absurd to merit the con-
sideration of respectable human beings.
