Black Diamond, Wash, Oct. 6.-
Eleven men were killed and thrse in
jured in mine explosion on the fourth
level at the Lawson mine, mile from
this place, about nine O'Clock at
night. The men employed in the work
ings or shutes were Instantly killed.
Two gangwaymen and driver, work
ing farther in the level, or gang way,
evidently escaped the effect of the ex-
plosion and instinctively started toward
the slope for safety. The deadly after
damp swept down ON them and they
succumed after not more than few
minutes struggle against the fate their
experience as miners told them lay in
store for them.
Only the bodies Of the men in the
workings are burned, showing that the
sheet Of flame which followed the ex-
plosion did not extend to the slope,
though it is declared by some watchers
to have been seen from the air shafts.
Those miners whose bodies were burned
were discovered lying in cramped
positions, their legs closely drawn.xup
toward their bodies and their hands
clinched. Dust covered their faces 80
they were unrecognizable when first
taken from the mine. Their clothes
were torn and thickly coated by coal
dust. The other bodies were not dis
figured. No -Four level in the Lawson
mine has not been opened long. An
auxiliary slope has been driven to this
level or gangway and q force Of men
is at work extending the slope from
No. 8 level to the fourth gangway.
A small shute runs from the main slope
of the fourth level.
The day Of tine accident the second
shift went on duty at p. m. expect
ing to work until II. Fourteen men
were working on No. 4 south and four
on No. 4 north. Nineteen men had
been assigned to duty on No. 8 level.
Prior to the entrance of the first shift
the mine had been inspected for gas
and before the second shift went on
duty the dust was sprinkled. OF the
fourteen men in the crew on No A

On last Friday, July IS tn 1902, little Jessimine Mcdaniel passed from the realms of sweet child hood, to the reams eternal.

Shewas patientsufferer for five weeks and is now resting in the arms of Jesus. May we all live such a life that we may meet the Judge of the quick and the dead as this little child.

 The funny man of the News seems anxious to dismiss my ar ticle of last week with his usual vein of levity but there are occa- sions where hilarity are some what unseemIy.
 It has not escaped the writer s notice that Newspapers in gen eral are silent on the Rail Road question, and is it not quite pos sible there may be some mate rial reason for such silence.
 The News man is perhaps the only manager of a newspaper within the three states mention ed who does not travel on com plimentary transportation" We remember very well in the days of the old currency fight, how the Bank organizations inserted in their circul ar Carefully look after the country newspapers.
 Long articles were published as paid matter extolling the vir- tues of honest money and de nouncing the advocates of con stitutional and scientific curren- cy as frauds and anarchists.
