MINERS ENTOMBED.
Thirty three Lives Lost in the
Copper District.
Fire Causes an Appalling Catastrophe
at the 0sceola.

Calumet. Mich, Sept. 9-Neyer in the
history of the Lake Superior copper
mines has there been so appalling an
accident as occurred at the Osceola
mine, two miles from here, late Satur-
day afternoon. Thirty-three miners
were cut off from escape by smoke from
a fire which started in the twenty-sey-
enth or lowest level. s.
The names of those known to have
been in the shaft are:
Richard Trenbath, Richard BlGkel, Thorn
as Curtis, Richard Granville, William Bry-
ant, James D. Harrington, Alex Daniel,
John Watson, Isaac Harvey, Walter Dowell,
Robert Johns. Michael Loveland, Michael
Yolk. Isaac Mattison, Frank Lauder, John
Cudlip, Anton Winzia,, Andrew Ross, Steve
Bythbac, Michael Slutta, Peter Malm-
strong, Barney Hellner William Donnells
Michael Schultz, James Williams, Anton
Sewick, ,.....a s&
At the time the alarm was sounded
over 200 miners were underground, and
all could have escaped had they used
proper precaution. Several miners, in
their flight, passed a group of seven or
eight men who had stopped to rest and
were smoking their pipes They seemed
to be in no hurry. When told to hurry
to the surface they remarked that they
had plenty of time, and not one of them
reached the surface. The skips were
kept running up and down all day Sat-
urday in order to give any of the en>
tombed miners a chance to escape if they
could reach the skip alive, but none came
up. Another attempt will be made to
reach the men tomorrow morning.
There is no danger of the bodies be-
ing burned, as it is generally thought
that the men escaped from the burning
shaft to some of the drifts leading to
other shafts and were overcome by gas
and smoke before they could reach a
place of safety. This being the case the
bodies will be recovered as soon as the
fire is under control and the gases leave
the mine.
The shaft has been surrounded all day
by thousands of persons, all hoping for
have returned to their homes fearing the
worst. All hope has been given up by
the officials of ever rescuing any of the
men alive. v..:..-*
In places the timbering of the mine is
very damp from the water trickling
through a thousand crevices into the
shaft, while in some of the drifts it is
as dry as finder. The only precedents
from which the probable duration of the
fire can be guessed are supplied by the
three big fires which have ravaged the
Calumet & Hecla mine. The greatest Of
these burned for months, and was eX
tinguished only by flooding the mine
with water and carbOnic acid gas.
There being less timbering in the Osce-
ola, the fire will probably not spread far
from No shaft but it may smolder
for weeks. There are not lacking indi-
cations that the fire was of incendiary
origin.
