HOPE ABANDONED
FOR MINE VICTIMS
SiXty-One Dead Bodies Lie in
the Now Flooded Union
Mine

Vancouver. b. c., Feb. 1s.--Addition-
Al details continue to come from the
Union mines, on Vancouver Island,
where the terrible fatality occurred
last Friday forenoon. The Canadian
Pacific Railway company's steamer
Tartar arrived at Vancouver yesterday
afternoon from the coaling station at
Union, IL miles from Cumberland. She
brought two passengers, II. r. Ray
mond and George Bennett, both coal
miners. Neither had any theory as to
the cause of the explosion in No. 6
shaft, in which the accident occurred.
They say the cause is not known and
that it will never be known. Hope was
abandoned Saturday when a second
IRE broke out. When the Tartar left
Union the late news from No. 6 shaft
was that the flooding process was still
being continued. 1t Will be several
days, Raymond says before the bodies
OF the 6l entombed miners can be re-
covered, because after the fire has been
put out it will be necessary to pump
the water out Of the mines before a
rescuing party can hope to get at the
corpses.
The families OF the dead miners re-
quire financial assistance, which will
be forthcoming from more than one
source. The mayor of Vancouver has
already taken steps to aid the bereaved
families, and other cities are taking
similar action. In the meantime Pre-
mier Dunsmuir has ordered the store
keepers TO give the distressed families
what supplies they may need.
