 Ft. Smith, Nov. 24.-This afternoon. at Coal Mine No. 20, at Bonanza, Ark. twelve miles from this city, an explo- sion of gas killed thirteen miners and did a great amount of damage to property. Thus far the bodies of six of the dead have been recovered.
 The explosion occurred at o'clock this afternoon. There were about 175 men in the various shafts at the time. All escaped without injury except the thirteen, who were employed in entry "K," the scene of the explosion.
 The force of the explosion was ter rife, and the timbers were torn from the walls of the passage for several hundred yards at the mouth of entry "K."The passages were so completely obstructed that the work of rescuing the entombed men was tedious in the extreme and several hours were con- sumed before the first body was found It is thought that the gas was acci- dentally ignited by 1er's lamp.
