SCENE MOST HEARTRENDING.
1t is said that at the time of the ex-
plosion there We're 10 kegs of blast
powder in chambers where there were
men working and where the explo-
sion is supposed to have taken place.
The mine has three miles of drifting,
and so it is impossible to definitely To-
cate the accident until the rescuing
parties can gain admittance.
The mine had long been considered
dangerous by those acquainted with it,
while it was one of the best produc-
ing mines in the country. Its opera
ton has always been attended with
more or less apprehension and real
danger.
1T is fire damp mine," said Su-
perintendent Cameron, now in Den
yer, ''and seems to constantly gener
ate most deadly gasses. The gasses
seem to generate IN the
coal, or under it, and pour
out of the seams in the walls of the
tunnels and shafts. Yet the mine is
the most perfectly ventilated in the
world. The air is forced in along the
shaft by machinery. No less than Sc,
600 cubit feet of fresh air is forced into
the mine every minute. This is quits
sufficient to fully supply the wants ot
the miners and keep their air perfect
" pure unless some accident happen:
ia the cutoff or interfere with the sup
ply. This is greater amount of frest
air than is furnished to any othel
mine in the country.
Superintendent Cameron added
I'VE send mine viewers through every
chamber each morning before any o
the men are allowed TO go in. H'
must have returned this morning be
fore the workmen started IN anC
everything must have been all righ
