MINERS ARE BURIED.
Terrible Result of cave-In at Ne
gaunee, Mich.

Negaunee, Mich, Jan. s.--The most
distressing accident occurring in this
county for years took place at the
Negaunee mine Tuesday noon by
which from 16 to IL miners are
thought to have lost their lives. The
accident was the result of a cave-in
at the bottom of the old shaft, and
had it occurred half an hour sooner
about $50 men would have been
killed. The names of the dead so far
as known are: William Williams,
married; John Sullivan, single; John
Pascoe, single; John Pearce, mar
ried; Jacob Hunlalla, married. Thus
far but two bodies have been taken
out, Hunlalla's and an Italian, Dom
inic Basso, who was alive. Basso's
story is as follows:
eve were sitting around the pump at the
bottom of the shaft, when. without any
warning, thousands OF tons Of ore came
down. / remembered no more until heard
the sound Of picks and shovels in the hands
of rescuers, and their shouts. was in to-
tai darkness, and my feelings cannot be
described. What seemed ages to me was
but minutes. When the rescuers found me
/ was 70 feet from the place where 1 was
sitting, and found myself in a drift. How
/ got there is a mystery; but can only be
accounted for by the conclusion of the
wind"
Hundreds of men are at the mine
eager to help in the work of rescue,
but it is thought the other bodies
cannot be found within "a hours.
The Negaune mine is one of the
most unlucly properties in the Lake
Superior district. Much trouble has
resulted in sinking and drifting from
surplus water and quicksand. 1t
was at this mine that $1,00o.O0o was
recently expended to sink a shaft to
the ledge.

coast who have been considering bill
for Chinese exclusion have perfected
a measure which will be introduced in

for excluding Chinese or reenacting
the Geary law. The bill under consid-
Grafton contains As pages. 1t does not
limit itself to any term of years, as did
the Geary act, but if passed in it's pres
ent form would be perpetual unlessre-

of Chinese and enforcement of the
provisions of the act under the direc.
ton of the commissioner of immigra-
tion; also for the deportation of Chi.
