Iuo,..,t orer o,ceo,a Mine victim..

CALUMET, MICH, Sept. 1S.-The Coro-
ner's inquest into the death Of the thirty
miners smothered in the Osceola mine ten
days ago showed that all the men must
have been dead for one or two hours before
the shafts were closed. This will probably
set at rest the ugly rumors to the effect
that the men were smothered by the haste
of the superintendent to cover the shafts
and save property loss. The Osceola has
resumed work with its normal force of $50
men.
