Twenty Men Buried by q Cave.
CHICAGO, March 6.-An Ell Paso special
says: News has just reached here of a
terrible accident yesterday at the Preetes
mines, Sonora. Only the most meager de-
tails are yet known, but it is known that
30 men were buried in one shaft, which il
said to have caved without a moments
warning. None Of the bodies have yet
been recovered. There is no hope enter
tanned that any of the unfortunate miners
at work in the shaft at the time of the
accident may be yet alive, as the cave was
SO instantaneous and complete as to cut
off every chance Of escape, or any kind Of
preparation on the part of the miners to
protect themselves until they could be dug
out. The greatest excitement prevails
here pending the receipt of the names OF
those known to have been at work in the
shaft when the accident occurred.
