IN A DtATH TQAp.
Sixty.Five Miners Are EntOmbed
No Hope for Them.
CAUSED BY AN EXPLOSION or GAS
Only Exit Is the Mouth Of the Shaft, Which ls
Filled With Huge Volume Of Smoke
Relief Measures Have Begun.

Vancouver, b. c., Feb. lS.-Sixty-
hve miners are imprisoned in No. 9
shalt of tile Cumberland coal mine on
Vancouver island. The only exit Is
the month of the shaft which is filled
with huge volume of flame. There
Is considered to be no possibility for
the unfortunates to escape.
Details Of Disaster MeasG.
Details OF the disaster are meageI.
The Cum mberland mine is near the VII
lage OF Union, about 60 miles north
OF the town of Nanaimo. The only
telegraphic communication from Un-
ion is by single government wire,
and little is known of the tragedy in
the mine except that terrible OK plo-
sion occurred in No. shaft OF the
Cumberland about IL o'clock this
morning. Following the ex plosion the
shaft caught fire, and the 60 minera
who we're working half mile from
the entrance were caught in "a death
trap. A relief party from No. shaft
made brave but futile attempt at a
rescue. They were headed off by the
fire and could not reach the imprisoned
men. The attempt at rescue was made
through No. shaft, bat the flames
prevented any development of the per-
ilous venture.
The Cumberland mine is one OF the
properties of the Union Coliery Com
pany, situated near Comox and
reached from Union bay by the private
colliery railway crossing the Trent
river ON which the memorable bridge
disaster occurred year or two ago.
1t has been singularly fortunate here
tofore in immunity from disaster and
was counted an especially safe mine to
work IN by reason of the character OF
the formation in which the coal is
found there, and the manner in which
it had been opened up. No. shaft,
the scene OF the disaster, was bottomed
in October, 1893, at a depth of 814
feet. 1t is we'll constructed and tim
bered. with mud wall, the pit bot.
tom being timbered with 12x18 sawn
hulks, built solidly together. 16 fees
wide and l2 feet high. The shaft is
located close to the railway. and the
ventilation of the mine is effected by a
14x5.io Guibal fan, which, when run
to its full capacity, gives $4,000 cubic
feet of air circulation per minute.
The air enters by the haulsge slopes
and is divided into seperate splits. the
main split being at the point where
No. 2 branches off the main slope,
part of the air going down each slope.
Further down each of these slopes the
air is again split, and sent to the work.
ings east and west of the respective
slopes.
A second explosion occurr ed in No.
5 shalt tonight, but it had been ex-
pected, and all the men had left the
workings. There we're no casualties.
This explosion prevents any further
efforts being made to rescue the en-
tombed miners through No. shaft.

pened to confirm the belief that the
road is to be extended without delay
The road will pass through some
splendid territory and will be of vast
benefit to this city, as well as the sec
ton of country through which it will
pass.
The negroes of this city have been
very much stirred up over the death of
Henry Galloway Sunday. Galloway
was given a drink of whisky last We'd
nesday and has been sick ever since,
his sickness being much like that pro-
duced by strychnine poisoning. 1t
happens that the negro who gave him
the drink of whisky was an accom-
plice in crime with Galloway and was
out under bond Galloway was the only
witness against him. These facts Gre
ated the suspicion that Galloway was
poisoned A coroner's inquest was held
and a physician made a post-mortem
examination, but failed to find any
thing to indicate foul play. The cause
of Getaways death is still causing
wonder among the colored people.
Gen. John b. Gordon was here last
night and delivered his lecture on the
First Days of the Confederacy. The
lecture was the first of the lyceum
course, and was greatly enjoyed by the
large audience in attendance. 1t dealt
largely in the issues leading up to the
war and the discussion was on a broad,
patriotic line. There were parts Of
the lecture that were stirring and pro-
voked much applause.
