Another Dsersr.-A Csal Nine this
SAn FnAxcnco, Jan. q. From the
sydney Herald are got the following
letaik of q disaster in Australia, on the
9Th of December. The accident 90
1t CURED $50 am, IN a drift from No.
2 shaft, which unexpectedly broke into
he old workings OF No. shaft. The
water rushed in with great force, and
n few minutes the lower levels were
Hooded and the food rose 80 feet in the
shaft. The men escaped at the point,
and He'd for the lines along the dri1, to
the station, where IL reached the cage
in safety, and were hoisted to the sur
face. Twenty-seven men in another
part of the new workings were unable to
reach the shaft, and their only hope
vas that they might be able to roach
and ascend Q distant Wine leading to
the upper levels. The scene at tho top
of the shaft vas pitiable. MOtherD,
wives, children and friends gathered
there, waiting almost without hope for
news from below. The pumps at once
started. throwing 1900 gallons per
hour, and all the miners in the district
assembled and lent assistance. The
body of water was 30 great that the
pumps lowered it very slowly, and a
diver was sent for to attempt TO enter
the mine and learn the fate OF those
below. The project was found to be i'm
practicable. On the afternoon of the
18th the water was only breast high in
tho drift, when the men supposed that
an attempt could be made to reach
the doomed men by wadiug. but failed
in their effort. The relief party made
several similar attempts during the
night, and about o'clock on the morn
ing Of the 18th, two searchers came up
the shaft cheering, and reported that at
winze No. IL, they had heard the words:
ats all right, We are all safe" About
6 O'Clock in the afternoon word came up
the shaft that the lost men we're found.
The news spread like the wind. The
whole neighborhood fiOcked to the
shaft. Tanks were improvised as car
riages in which to raise the men to the
surface, and half AN hour later John
Manly was brought up alive. He had
been caught by going to the rescue of
his comrades. Soon four others were
brought up, all greatly exhausted, but in
a fair way to recover. The cage rose
again with the horrible truth that the
% men remaining in the mine had all
persisted. Tho whole party had been
caught in the drift, the water rising 20
bers could they keep above water. One
BY one during the GO hours struggle
they had dropped of exhausted and
