the drum controlling the cage. At about
the 400-foot level in the shaft there was
jar, but after. that the cage came along
smoothly until within fifteen feet of the
surface, where it jammed tight.
On investigation it was found that of
the nine men in the cage only three had
reached the surface, and they were badly
injured. The other six had by some un-
known means been hurled to instant
death at the bottom of the shaft. The
most experienced miners cannot exp ain
the accident.
Captain Trebelock and Mine Inspector
Trennoning Immediately entered the
shaft with band of miners, and found
the six men piled in heap at the bot
tom. They fell from a great distance. and
death must have been immediate. 1t was

was necessary to sew them in Blankets
and strap them to planks before they
could be moved. X shaft is 514 feet deep
The cage now stands fifteen feet from the
surface.
The coroner's jury viewed the remains
this afternoon, but win not proceed with
