THE DEADLY Fire DAMP
An Explosion Of Gas Occurs in
the Blue Canyon Coal
Mine
President Downs and Superin-
tendent Cmumiskey Are
Seriously Burned
The Record of a Dull Day in
and About the Focal
City

An explosion In the Blue Canyon
coal mine, yesterday, severely Injured
NJ. T.. Downs, president Of the Blue
Canyon company, and j. i. Cummls-
key, the superintendent. Both gen
tlemen were badly burned about the
head and face, and their hands were
also slightly burned.
Yesterday morning the atmosphere
was damp, and gas had collected In
the air shaft, and there remained
stationery owing 10 the heavy air
pressure from above. IL neither rose
nor fell, except for few feet, when
10 would ascend and then fall back %
its original position.
Mr.. Downs went out 30 the mine
yesterday morning, and he and Mr..
Cummlskcy were making tour Of in
spection. Although Mr.. Cummiskcy
had repeatedly warned the men % be
careful, and take safety lamps with
them when entering the tunnel, he
did not think 10 necessary 10 take any
prccautiOn yesterday, as the presence
Of gas was not suspected The cx-
plOsiOn took place In tunnel No. /,
and Mr.. Downs and Mr.. Cummis-
key had entered the tunnel
some three hundred feet when
when 10 occurred. The explO,
sion was terrific and both men
were blown back a distance OF fifty
six feet down an incline. They were
alone In the tunnel at the time, the
miners being all at dinner. Neither
was rendered insensiblc and both
! walked tO the boarding house, al.
though AZ soon as that place was
! reached Mr.. Downs fell la "a dead
faint, and on recovering had no rccOl-
lection Of how he reached place Of
safety. Mr.. Downs Is quite badly
burned about the neck and the back
Of his head, aud his face Is also burned
somewhat. His hair aud beard were
also scorchcd, but his eyes suffered no
injury.
Mr.. CummIskcy Is also badly burned
about the head, hands and face, and
his hair was burned close to his head,
but IL Is thought that his Injuries are
not extremely serious, although very
painful.
The injuries were attended b. at the
mine In the best manner possible, and
the injured were brought 70 Fairhaycn
as quickly as possible.
Mr.. Downs was taken first % DR..
| Thomas Office, and subsequently %
| his room at The Fairhaycn. Mr.. Cum
misky was taken 30 the Sisters of
Peace hospital, and late last evening
both were resting comparatively easy,
and 10 Is expected that their Injuries
will not cOniinc them very long ~
! their rooms.
Although the explosion literally
knocked them down an incline fifty.
six feet, neither appears 20 have sur
fcred any injury by the fall. 10 Is a
| matter " cOnRratulatiOn that neither
Mr.. Downs nor Mr.. Cummisky met In
slant death nor Injuries which might
have proved fatal.

that of free silver. Bat one blast

enthusiasm away, and there are not
enough free silver men left in the
democratic party now to hold a re-
