THE DAYS DISASTERS.
EXPLORING THE DIAMOND MINE.


day morning the pit boss of the Diamond
mine descended to the bottom and after
exploring for short distances in different
directions, finding several places where the
mine had .caved in from the effect of soak
ing by water, and discovering black damp
plentiful. He went into the south working
which he found in better condition than the
others. About five steps from the starting
point, he discerned the body of one of the
drowned miners water soaked and bloated
beyond recognition, and little further on
another in the same condition. Without
proceeding further, he returned to the sur
face and on consultation it was decided to
keep the matter quiet for fear of large
crowd assembling before the regular search
party entered. The secret leaked out, how
ever.

MONTREAL, Que, March 25.-The Will
liams sewing machine factory was burned

at from two to three hundred thousand
of the kind in Canada, built by a company
of which the late Sir Hugh Allan was pres
ident, and in which position his son sue
ceeded him. Two hundred and fifty me-
chanics will be idle until the premises are

English and Canadian offices nearly cover
the amount of loss.
