 ~----t-----~ Deadl, FiFe Ramp sag Cause of
 --....a.s.S.. Canadian nline Becomes Burning Tomb. Only Reseuers, Miners and Of- acials Allowed At Scene
 of Disaster.

Victoria, B. C., Oct. s-Thirty miners are believed to be dead as the result of an explosion at the Extension Mine of the Wellington Colliery Company to- day. Fifty men were entombed by the explosion. but twenty of them were rescued, all badly injured.
 The shock was terrific but It's effect was confined to the slope wherein it occurred The men in all the other slopes and levels escaped.
 Five bodies were recovered late to- night. Fifty men were engaged in the rescue work. Hundreds of inhabitants and miners volunteered aid but the na- ture of the rescue work precluded more than fifty being engaged.
 The rescuers hoped the flames would die down so as to permit the rescue of the entombed but their chances seemed hopeless.
 The explosion was due to fire damp, the timbers in two levels at once ig- hitting and the fire spreading with great rapidity.
 Residents of Nanaio have been pre- vented from going to Extension. where the disaster occurred. and only res- cuers. miners and officials are on the scene. Only meagre details were avail able late tonight.
 Rapidly spreading Are prevented res- cuers from completing their work. Late tonight rescuers were making every effort to force further entrance into the two levels affected by the explo- sion.
 The men employed in the coli.eries on Vancouver Isiand are 'of ths better class of British miners. All are well paid and have comfortable homes.
 The Wellington Coiiiery Company which owns the extension mine is con- trolled by British Columbia capitalists, Lieutenant Governor James Dunsmuir being the head of the corporation.
