they are blind to their own ln-

S"'SS III ~, out 10 one on
'ne outside 1t looked as though all
tie natural gas and other kinds OF
gas in the country had collected in
that mine and hai exploded aud had
thrown itself out to burn everything
near 1t. The mouth of the mine
was burned aud scared "a though oil
had been poured on il and set fire.
Coal and dust had been thrown all
over the mountain, covering at lie sst
10 or Is acres Of land.
An ''over. shot" was supposed 10
6e the cause of it, but the mine w,,
terribly wrecked. and it is generally
thought it is impossible to come 10
conclusion as to she cause of it,.
As l stated above, there were com.
para'Ively few men in the mine thar
W re engaged in mining. The mos,
OF them were white men, some of
them being machinists, bosses and
carpenters. They were engaged in
bratticing off ibe worked out plac
es. Now there are few who know
what brattice means. III explain as
| understand it:
When mine is opened and is
worked in to the vein Of coal soma
little distance, saw quarter of q
mile, they begin another working at
right angles TO the main vein, and a
crew Of men is put to work on that
till quite lot of coal lie dug from
1t, and then the men of that crew
dig coal in all directions and make
what is called . "room," exactly
like room in q house is TO q hall
way, you know. Then after the
coal is all dug ont of that, or even
before, another room is started a
short distance away, on the opposite
side of the main mine, or shaft.
and after the mine has been worked
for a long time there are a score or
more of these rooms which are
worked entirely out, or, in other
words, no more coal is dug there,
and more new rooms are started
farther on.
Now, when an explosion occurs
the first thing they do, if possible,
IS TO get fresh air 10 the mine. and
that would be an impossibility with
all those rooms to fill with air; so
they start at the beginning Of the
mine, or the first room, and they
stop up these rooms, ju.t like max.
ing a door for the room, so that the
air will pass the room instead of
gong In 1t. When all the rooms
have been Stopped up, or bratticed,
the air current will circulate
throughout the entire mine. Then
the resculng can be begun, and not
before, safely. The greatest of care
must be exercised not To- let safety
lamp get broken, or one spark of
fire get in the mine, or another ex.
plosion would follow, till fresh air
is gotten in the mine. This brat
tlcing ls done as follows: A square
frame is made which fits tightly in
the door Of the room, and a cloth,
water proof, air proof, and looks
like coffee sack, is stretched over il
and nailed to the frame securely and
then it is taken into the mine aud
fitted tightly into the door, and so
on till the bTatticiDg is completed.
In all there were O5 men taken
from the nine in this last explos-
ion, and scores of men are at work
putting the mine in order for work.
The legislature, now in session, ap-
pointed a committee to investigate
the cause Of the explosion and the
members are on the ground delib-
Grating.
