ABOUT 5 o'clock this morning fbe
hosting works building over tae new
shaft of the Succor mine took Ere and
IN very short time was totally destroyed.
The cause OF the accident was as follows:
The giant powder used in blasting is
kept in magazine 500 feet from the
works, but few cartridges for immediate
use have been kept in box on top of
the boiler, where it would be dry, and
safe from freezing, etc. bow this took
fire is unknown, but it did. There was
no explosion, but it burned after its usu-
al style under such circumstances, with
hot, smouldering fame and thick
smoke, setting fire to the wood work near
and above it. Everything being dry, the
building was in a few minutes fully on
fire ard going to destruction. Mr.. God
frey, the engineer then on duty, and
carman were the only persons in and
about the surface works. They directly
saw that inevitable destruction awaited
the building, and the first movement was
to rescue the two miners in the bottom
OF the shaft. They say that they shook
the cable, but from some inexplicable
reason failed to get a reply from the men
below-they rang no bell and made no
sign. Godfrey and bis companion then
tried to extinguish the flames, but seeing
the utter hopelessness Of their efforts
they tried again to alarm the men in the
Shaft but without avail, and had to get
out of the building, leaving the miners to
their horrible fate.
The shaft is 500 feet deep, perpendicu-
lar, with no side drift or possible chance
of escape from any danger impending
from above. The two miners working
at the bottom evidently did not notice
the shaking of the cable as signal to
them, therefore did not reply by pulling
the bell wire. Their first discovery of
danger was probably by the falling of
fire down the shaft, from the burning
building over it. The exact manner Of
their death can only be conjectufed, as
both are still in the shaft, but they must
be dead, as even were they not killed by
the falling debris of the hosting works,
etc. from the surface, they must die from
the surface fire destroying the requisite
supply of oxygen. At last accounts the
surface timbering of the shaft was de-
stroyed, and the earth surrounding the
mouth of the shaft had caved in, burying
them, dead or alive. Their death must
have been slow and horrible one.
The names Of the victims are James
Billings, aged about 35 years, and James
Richard, aged 25 years. Both natives of

YESTERDAY another train came very
near being ditched between Gold Hill
and American Flat. A train consisting
Of twelve cars of ore and twelve fat and
box cars, left the Baltic switch at 1O.45
O'Clock, and in going down the grade to
the scales the whole train passed over
broken rail, causing the cars to jump a
good deal, but none left the track. The
train was stopped, when Mr.. Wester-
field. the well-known Virginia freight
agent, asked stupid section man who
was standing near the broken rail Why
he did not flag the train, and not let it
run over the broken rail. His answer
was, II have no flag" 1t is no wonder
that accidents occur, when men like the
one described find employment on rail-
