miners and fifty horses entombed, but
one miraculous escape was made, how
ever, by John Anderson, who was work
ing near the mouth of the level, when
he realized the mine was on fire. He
with some difficulty reached the main
lead and by throwing a heavy overcoat
over his head and shoulders he pushed
his way throughg the flames and reached
the main lead completely exhausted and
terribly burned, but will recover. He was
taken out by friends. All efforts to sue
cor those farther back have failed and
the flames drove the rescuers back.
That ali have perished is without ques-
ton. The scenes around the mine We're
eeartrendering. Mothers. wives and
sweethearts weeping and tearing their
hair in terrible agony and all effort -
calm them proved of no avail. The loss
Of property will reach an enormous fig

unknown. The mine has been plugged
