GREENyILLE, Aug. s1.-Word has
just been received, here of a narrow
escape from death of T. H. Trezise and
John Zuschag, wealthy miners, at the
Dredge mine a few days ago. The two
had entered the abandoned mine and
were about 1000 feet inside the tunnel,
when a portion of the wall in front
of them eaved in.
They worked for some time to dis
lodge the timbers, when water began
seeping through. AS they continued
the volume of water became greater
and finally they realized they would
be drowned unless they got out. Jump
ing aboard an ore car they raced for
the entrance. They had gone but a
short distance when the cavein broke
and a large volume of water rushed
through and raced after them.
The two managed to reach the en-
trance ahead of the water, which was
strong enough to tear out mine timbers
and continued at full tunnel height for
almost an hour.
