Martin Cox, one of the miners who was
taken out of the mine alive, makes the fol-
lowing statement: We went in at AM:
my brother Robert cut through from one
air way to another and turned in the gas,
and SIX miners came out with him before
their shaft was up; the air was SO hot that
they could not work at all; this was about
fifteen minutes before the fire, and seven
came up to the top five minutes before the
IRE was discovered. The first intimation
we had OF the fire was a sound through the
mine as if there was an explosion of gas
An English miner said. "There is fire"
We were then working about fifty yards
from the bottom of the shaft, on the west
side. then ran to the bottom of the shaft
and saw fire coming down; ran back to nv
and told them, 1--WE are all lost:
the shaft is on fire." We were seven in all.
We then ran to the foot of the shaft, and
burning timbers were coming down. We
threw on water to put it out. The fire and
smoke became so intense that we were
nearly sutfOcated. Dense volumes came
down the shaft and filed the place. We
then ran over to the west side, in the direc-
ton OF the river bridge, down the slope, and
got In door with eleven others, making
eighteen altogether in the place. The smoke

We ran back and forth through gangways
or fresh air. At BIS p. NJ, Patrick Farley
