An Appalling Disaster.

Sco6eld, Uiah, May by an explo-
sion OF an immense quaotity OF powder
stored in the Pleasant Valley Co.'S
mine No. 4, yesterday, over 200 miners
we're killed. The scene at the mine is
beartrending. AS each man is brought
out on q stretcher, the covering from
the face is raised, and shrieks from
women and children penetrate the
gloomy atmosphere, as some one rushes
toward only to faint at the foot of q
husbands or Eather's corpse. Every
diligence is used to get the cbarred and
mangled remains from the mine. Many
hundred men have freely volunteered
their services and as fast az one set is
tired or worn out, others take their
place. While the stencil of smoke aud
powder is sickening, resembling much
that of dissecting room, there are
orsvehearted men who have been con-
tinuously at work since the moment OF
the explosion. The mines employed
soout 700 men. The cause OF the ex-
piosicn.is not. know. No. and No 4
mines were connected. The men 10 No.
| were suffocated, those in No. 4 were
burned and msngled. Practical miners
say that coal dust and gas must also
have exploded, as powder alone could
not have wrought such havoc.
