famous silver mines in the country.
From some cause not known fire broke
out in one of the levels of the old south
ern workings yesterday, shutting off the
exit of thirteen Mexican miners. Miners
on the outside went to work to try to
put out the fire and save the men. One
Englishman, Ned Richards, an eXpe-
rienced miner, went down in charge of
the rescue operations, but persisted from
suffocation. All the Mexicans died from
the same cause, or from burning, and
the bodies have not yet been recovered.
The affair created the greatest excite
ment, as it is one of the most horrible
mining accidents in the history of Pa
chuca.

seems TO have been completed and securi-
ties have passed into strong hands, while
there is a disposition to look forward 10

progress of the new year. Among the
factors which have contributed TO create
such sentiments, is the more favorable
