An experiment in marine fog signal
ing is shortly to be carried out off
Egg Rock. A large bell is to be fixed
below buoy, so as to be rung fifty
feet under water. It will be worked by
electricity from the Egg Rock light
station, so that the operator on the
island can sound it when required. The
theory of mariners is that a bell ring
ing under water is heard at much
greater distance by sailors out at sea
than when it is rung while suspended
in air

The explosion occurred at the noon
hour and was what is known as a

fred their usual noon shots, one Of
which. proved to be = 1Izzle-> The
burning powder ign1ted the gas and
the explosion followed. Smoke and
debris were blown out of the shaft 200
feet high. Part Of the top works were
torn away and fans and cages were
partially wrecked. This. made the
work Of rescue very slow and it was
8 o'clock before volunteer parties
dared to venture into the east entry,
where the explosion occurred. When
they fought their way in a horrible
sight greeted them. The dead and in
jured were terribly burned and mutt
lated, some OF them almost beyond
recognition. Fire, which it was at
first feared would prove destructive
to the entire mine, had broken out and
this added terror to the spectacle. The
flames were finally controlled and
after several of the rescue party had
succumbed to the fumes all the dead
were found and carried to the top of
the shaft. At the time of the explo-
sion more than 100 men were in the
mines, but all these except the men in
the east entry escaped with only
slight injury. The total property
damage will be about $4,000. It was
nearly o'clock when the last of the
dead was taken out and scenes Of
anguish among the families of the
men were most pitiful. Nearly all of
the men we're married and leave fam
lilies in poor circumstances. The mine
is owned by the Lost Creek Fuel COM
