The Port Royal mine has always been

similar explosion in the mine seven
years ago, by which one man was
Killed. The use of safety lamps has
been made especially imperative in
thase mines by the district ms pector CT
mires, owing to the great danger that
was known to exist, but careless miners
sometimes use open lights, because
they can see better TO mine by them,
