35 men, all white, were at work in the

Relief gangs are at work. but on &C
count of the immense amount Of de
bris in the shaft the work has been
slow and tedious. The mine is new

explosion is thought to have been
caused by an open lamp carried by
one of the miners. The mine is re

and details are difficult to obtain. Ar

the Old Richland mine of the same

to place blasts and fire them off at

the coal thus thrown down TO be load

instead, a long flame shot out OF the

Thirty-four men were in the mine at
the time Four of these escaped with

and nine of them were burned, most Of
them fatally The force Of the explo-
sion caused great masses Of coal and

gathered at the mouth of the mine and
the shrieks of anguish as their bodies
