The Nova SCOTIA COAL NINE HoRRoR.-A
gentleman who has returned from the burning
coiliery in Pictou county, Nova Scotia. saws a
large number Of men have been at work since
"Wednesday filling up the slopes and every SHAFT
with clay. The IRE was still burning a. nercely
as ever, and flames were ascending twenty or
thirty feet. The roar from the burning mine
was terrific, and dense volumes OF smoke con-
unued TO ascend nom several air shafts. The
causes that led 90 the disaster are not as stated
but owing to powder having been permitted 90
be used IN one of the leads worked by a miner
named Robert Mcleod, who insisted upon using
II unless he received higher wages for cutting
without. To give some idea Of the extent OF
the explosion, IL may be stated OF an old gall
lery close TO the miners residences and distant
from the mines some six hundred or seven hum
dred yards, that huge pieces of lumber were
driven through IL mp Into the air. some falling
ON the roof Of houses aud crushing through.
The coroners jury found that John Dunn came
to his death on the 10th instant by the explosion
OF gas in the Drummond colliery caused by the
arrangement Of ventilation of the mine arising
from FIRE in Robert McLeod's wards. Care was
exhibited in the management of the mine, but
they express their regret that powder was
permitted To be used In the ward worked by
Mcleod.
