persons.
McRae said he had set out from the
McRae camp on prospecting trip to an

brought for prospecting work. He had
just mounted his horse to carry some
tools up to the mine and Mrs. McRae
was preparing to lay out the lunch when
the terrible explosion occurred.
McRae was rendered unconscious, and
when he regained his senses he was lying
about forty feet from his horse. The first
thing he noticed was that Oscar Duclose,
one of the party, was screaming with
pain and biting at his arms. He saw his
son lying dead and then missed his wife.
Frantic with apprehension, he commenced
a search, but could find no trace of her.
Later the lower portions Of her limbs,
from the knees down, were found fifty
