 Work.

Coax Creek, B. C.. July s1.-As re- suit of a cave-in today in coal mine at Crows Nest Pass on the Canadian Pacific Railroad. twenty-three miners are buried in the workings of the mine and may all succumb before aid can reach them. A large crew of rescuers are at work yaliantly endeavoring to dig tunnel through the zoo feet of earth which separates the imprisoned miners from daylight, in order to give them air and sustain life until they can be removed.
 The miners were all at work in the main shaft Of the mine. Only the sul- len, sudden roar of the crashing rocks and dirt warned them and their one hasty dash for liberty was too late. Men on the surface immediately sum moned aid and set to work trying to dig tunnel to their comrades. It is doubtful whether the men can live un- til reached as 1t will take days to dig them out or send them food.
