ings of mine No. 20 Of the Hillcrest
coiliers, limited, June 10, had been re-
moved to the surface Sunday.
All hope of rescuing alive any of the
remaining 1913 members of the Inflated
crew that entered the mine has been
abandoned.
The work was retarded temporarily
by>a fire that broke out in the mine.
That the explosion was due to the
forming of gases in the lower levels
of the mine has been generally accept
ed.
Two hundred collins have been or
dered from Winnipeg.
Practically the entire male popula-
ton of the little mining town was

Bodies Badly MangIed.

bodies recovered makes it imperative
that interment should take place with
out delay.
There are several instances where
practically the entire male members of
families are wiped out. The wife and
family of James Bradshaw are en-

aster, when he was making his first
shift inside the mine.

among the dead, was employed in a
dual capacity in Michael, working for
the Crows Nest Pass Coal company
and also a justice of the peace. He
was severing his employment with the
company on Saturday, intending to
take up his residence in Nelson.
Union Hall Mortuary Chamber
The work of recovering the bodies
proceeded steadily. Those brought
out Sunday were not SO badly dis
figured. Ninely-four were layed out
in the union hall, which is used as a
mortuary chamber.
Explorations by rescurers indicat-
ed the miners had no warning Of death
as several bodies were found standing
nearly erect, with picks and other
mining tools in hand, pinned to walls
by timbers and rocks.
AS most of the miners were work
ing several hundred feet in when the
explosion occurred, the rescurers do
not expect to recover all the bodies
for several days.
