MINE OF WESTERN CANADA COL HERS IS RAGING FURNACE
 FROM EXPLOSION.
VAIN EFFORTS TO RESCUE
Driven Back by Smoke and Intense Heat-Frenzied Women Rels- tiVes Fight to Enter
 Shaft.

Calgary, Alberta, Dec. 12.-Ten are dead, six dying and nearly fifty others are believed to have been burned to death in the Bellevue mine of the Western Canada colliers, which is a raging furnace as the result of an ex- plosion. Scores of mothers, wives and children are crowded sobbing about the mouth of the pit, hoping that the flames have not destroyed their loved ones.
 Smoke Drives Back Rescuers.
 Rescuers made desperate attempts to force a way through the burning shaft, but in vain. The smoke and fire drove them to the surface almost as fast as they descended, and it is believed now that all the men in the mine will have perished before the flames are quenced.
 Seventy men were at work in the mine when the explosion occurred. Seventeen of them rushed for the ex- it's, but only seven succeeded in get ting to the surface alive.
 The other ten, overcome by the smoke and heat, collapsed and died. Their bodies were taken out by res cuers, who went down in the pit after the explosion.
 Of the seven who got to the surface six are fatally burned and will die.
 The little town of Bellevue is in a panic. Nearly every one of its inhab- itants has relatives or friends in the bottom of the burning shaft Several women had to be torcibly restrained when they attempted to fight their way into the pit.
 Cause of Explosion Unknown.
 Until the fire is eXtinguished, how the entombed men. Experts declare they are dead already unless they have managed to find way to the back passage of the pit. Whether they are held prisoners by barriers of coal and debris loosened by the explosion is not known
 The cause of the explosion is not known. The mine was considered safe from black damp and officials are of the opinion blasting powder caused it.
 The Western Canada colliers is an American corporation. financed by capital from St Paul and Minneapolis. Teleerams have been sent to the pro prietors and they are on their way here to lead in the relief work.
