shutters under it. This. it seems. is
the usual method of warming powder
But in some manner it exploded. and
the conclusion set off the remaining
powder. This terrific shock caused
dirt to block the slope and the men
could not get out, and 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 discovered 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.

partment saying that he would have
acted as Mr.. Stern did under similar cir
cumstances, and that moreover, he had
never made such a statement to any
body To have done so would have been
an act of gross discourtesy of his col

whole of Bavaria belongs. For similar
reasons. Mr.. De Kay added. it was out OF
