Most Extensive and Serious Min
Ing Casually.
100 A RES OF COAL MINES CAvEIN
Damage 100000 Miners ont of
Employment.
The Vigilance of Proprietor Averts an
Immense Sacrifice of Life.

New York, November %. Wilkesbarre, Pa,
despatch of yesterdays date says that the most
extensive and serious mining casualty ever known
in Wyoming Valley occurred on the 18th instant
at the Chauucey and Grand Tunnel Mines about
10 miles south of Plymouth.
About two weeks ago, Mr.. Roberts, one of the
propiietcfs of the Chauncey mine, noticed
that the roof of the opening was working in a
most extraordinary manner, indicating that inside
operations were attended with considerable
danger. lie watched the phenomenon with the
greatest interest, and was finally convinced that
the mine was doomed to certain calamity.
AT IL o'clock in the morning Of the 10Th, he
gave orders for the men to leave the mines as soon
as possible. The miners, to the number of l2j,
left work at II o'clock, taking with them their
implements. Two hours later the mine caved
in.
Had it not been for the caution and foresight of
Mr.. Roberts most fearful loss Of life must have
occurred, as the whole number Of miners would
have been entombed by about 40 acres of rock,
which crushed down and filled the honey -combed
opening beneath.
The disaster extended to the Grand Tunnel
mine. 1t seemed to drag over the roof in a
southerly direction, until stopped by huge wall
of rock, known to mining engineers as "fault,"
which stood between the Grand Tunnel and the
adjoining mine. In the former some 60 acres Of
rock were buried, efectually closing operations
for months to come.
The whole fall embraces over 100 acres, and
the damage to the mines is estimated at over
100000.
Several hundred miners have been thrown out
of employ ment just when it is most essential for
them to he at work.
The effects of the cavern were terrific. Huge
bou lders were thrown out Of the mouth Of the
tunnel by the compressed air, as if they had been
