SIX MINERS MEET DEATH
By an Explosion at Belgian Mine,
in Leedville, Colo.
THE MEN WERE WARMING POWDER

when 1t IEnIted and Fifty Pounds Went
on with = Loud Report-Ths Slope
Blocked Up and the Men Slowly
gmothersd to Death.
LEADvILLE, Colo, Sept, 27--The worst
accident that ever occurred in this camp
happened yesterday afternoon at the Bel
gian mine, resulting in the death of six
miners and injuring four others. The
dead are: J. H. Gray, John Hamill, Clark
MoGinniss, John Beggs, Chris Phillips
and Ed Kuhn. The injured are: ]. H.
Reynolds, James Baxter, Alex Parker and
John Waters.
The men were working in a drift and
slope about ten feet above the lower levels,
where fifty pounds Of powder had been
stored. According to Superintendent Dod-
bridge, he had positively forbidden more
than five pounds Of powder to be taken
into the mine at one time, but 1t is known
that fifty pounds was in the slope at the
time. Five or ten pounds Of this was in
an oil can, warming, with lighted shuffles
under it. This, II seems, Is the usual
method of warming powder.
In some manner the powder being
warmed exploded, and the concussion set
off the remaining powder. This terrific
shock caused dirt to block the slope and
the men could not get out. Six of them
slowly smothered to death. As many
volunteers as could be put to work began
digging through the mass Of dirt, and in
an hour had broken through and discov-
cred the miners lying along the two drifts.
There were five in what is known as the
Belgian drift-all dead, and four in the
other, three of whom were alive. The dead
and injured were rapidly taken to the sHr-
face, and the injured were removed to the
hospital. II is thought the injured men
will recover.
The men killed, so far as known, were
all single. Crowds of people visited the
morgue to view the remains, and the
crush was such that the doors had to be
locked and only twenty-five people ad-
xnitfed sat n nina

MADE HOMELESS BY FLAMES.
Terrible Forest Fires In tho Provinoe Of
Quebec, Canada.


ARTHABAscA, Que, Sept. e7.-Seventy
men are still fighting fire In the woods on
the Grand Trunk railroad line in the di-
rection of Doucet's Landing, on the Three
Rivers road
The fire began on Monday morning,
when the sky was darkened by a dense
column of smoke blown by the strongest
gale felt in years. The fire originated in
the bush woods, and was kindled by farm
ers clearing new land. Monday evening
tho terror was redoubled here, when the
heavens were lit up with flames and rain
Of oinders and sparks fell The whole
population engaged in prayer, tapers were
burned at the affairs in the parish church,
and the priests Joined in the supplications
TO heaven. Guards were posted all around
the village and statues OF saints were
placed around the houses to turn back do
struction.
Today the victims of the calamity are
homeless and begging through the coun-
try. All trains passing through the DESC
lated region stop and the conductor blows
q horn and calls out, in case the people
should be in need The people burned out
sre utterly pennilcss. Yesterday the rain
began falling and the people are over
joyed, as they believe the fire can be
stopped. Settlers who have been here
fifty years have never seen such fire.
An Associated Press correspondent Wis
ited the desolated district yesterday. No
fire could be seen then, as heavy rain was
falling. Telegraphic and telephone COM
munications were being established, the
wires being attached to planks, trees and
poles. Over a hundred poles were de-
stroyed. The area visited by the flames
was one Of thirty five miles. The flames
travelled from north to south from the in
land forest to the st. Lawrence river.
The fire is now confined to a spot thir-
teen miles from this last place, at st.
Angle, and vegetation and trees includ-
ing all crops, are in ashes everywhere
along the Grand Trunk line. The Villagers
have lost all except life itself. Providenti-
ally no fatalities were added to the oalam-
ity. The survivors whose houses wero
burned down are asking the Grand Trunk
railway to take them out of the fields where
they are living under the shelter of blank
cts and board huts.
