A Terrible Mine Disaster in New South
Wales.
SAN FRANCISCO, January g.

SAN FRANCISCO, January %.
From the Sydney Herald the following de-
tails of the disaster at the Australasian Mine
of December IL are obtained:
The accident occurred at 80 a. m. in a drift
from No. 2 shaft, which unexpectedly broke
into the old workings of No. shaft. The
ter rushed through with great force, and in q
few moments the lower levels were flooded.
and the flood rose thirty feet in the shaft,
The men employed at this point fed for their
lives along the drift to station where twelve
reached the cage and were hoisted to the sur
face. Twenty-seven men in the other part
OF the new workings were unable to reach the
shaft, and the only hope was that they might
be able TO reach and ascend distant Wine
leading to an upper level.
The scene at the top of the shaft pitiful.
Mothers, wives, children and friends gathered
there, waiting almost without hope for news
from below. The pumps at once started,
throwing 44,000 gallons per hour, and all the
miners in the district assembled to lend assist
ance. The body Of water was great that the
pumps lowered it very slowly, and diver was
sent for to attempt to penetrate the mine to
learn the fate of those below. The project was
found impra cticable.
In the afternoon of the 18th the water was
only breast high in the drift where the men
were supposed to be, and an attempt was made
to reach them by wading, but the Initiated air
lar attempts were made during the night.
About seven o'clock on the morning of the
14th two searchers came up the shaft cheer
ing. and reported that near Wine No. IL they
heard the words: at s all right. We are all
right" About six p. m. word came up the
shaft that the lost were found. The news
spread like wildfire. The whole neighborhood
focked to the shaft. Tanks were improvised
as carriages on which to raise the men to the
surface, and half an hour later John Manlcy
was brought up alive. He had been caught
by going to warn a comrade of the danger
when he might have escaped.
Soon four others were brought up, all
greatly exhausted, but in fair way to
recover. The cage rose again, when the ter
riple truth was learned that the twenty-five
remaining in the mine had persisted. The
whole party had been caught in the drift, the
water rising so high that only by cIinging to
the timbers could they keep their chins above
water. One by one during the sixty hours
struggle they had dropped Off exhausted and
drowned in the flood, the strongest only hold
ing out until relief came. The bodies were
found lying scattered about the floor of the
drift. The victims were inferred on the 10th.
Liberal subscriptions were taken I'D for the
families of the deceased
