HALIFAX; May 10.
A gentleman returned from the burning
colliery says that relays of men have been
at work since yesterday filling up tie
Slopes and air shutes with clay. The fire
still burns as fiereely as ever. He went
within a few feet of the mouth OF the
shaft, from which blue salphurions
flames were ascending 30 or 30 feet, and
the rear Of the burning mine was terrific.
Dense volumes of smoke continue TO as
cend from the several shafts, and 10 ade-
ouate idea can be formed OF the terrible
disaster. The computed loss OF property
is enormous, but nothing in compari-
son TO the loss OF life. All the wood
work in the mine is burned and
experienced miners say it is one mass OF
burning ruins below. The cause that
led to the disaster is not, as stated,
owing to the strike of the miners, but to
powder having been permitted to be used
in one Of the beds worked by miner
named Robert Mcleod, who insisted
upon using it unless he received higher
rates for cutting without it. At the in
quest yesterday several important facts
came out in the evidence, which show a
great recklessness or carelessness in Tho
work of supervision, in parts of the
mine. The first witness, Thomas
Loathear, testified that the mine VIA
carefully attended during the time thu
miners were out on the strike, so tina
there would be no accumulation o
gassss when the miners returned T.
| work on Tuesday. The second witness
! James Dunston, who was in the min
: when the fire occurred, testified that b
! found nothing unusual in the mine whel
r he descended. When the word wa
: passed that the mine was on fire, a
. hands We're requested to go to put it GU
e Those who refused to assist were ordere
5 to leave, as by remaining they would onl
: impede the progress of the others. Ha
5 the men obeyed the order when it va
$ found possible to stop the fire, thel
l. would have been plenty of time to get
lie out. The same level had been on ii
5. before. A man was always stationed
ic the cabin to give tae miners informant,
N as to the condition of their places, al
10 to warn them of danger. The reg
nj lators were attended to, as were also /
re furnaces for yentilating the same leve
Ii Adam Larimer testified that he was
L. the mine when the fire took place. VIII
Il the explosion occurred he made his W
ly out as fast as possible. When he got
ed the stope he found it INSTRUCTED with DO,
IL and rubbish. There were over 30 ly
lis down at this point, all evidently injur
he as they were groaning, some as ii I'll
yer could neither move nor speak. He v
obliged to stop and crawl over tn
he bodies in order to make his way out
mt the stope. On the way up he pas
est several men who were lying down cry
Ill and groaning, but unable to help the
selves. He was the last man alive out
en- the pit, and was helped out by
Tue brother. He passed man dead on
ds' top landing. The jury returned the
'er- lowing verdict: 1--WE find the mil
