A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
How Six Deserted Safety to Encounter
After-damp.

Cumberland. British Columbia. Feb.
fO.-The investigation Of an explosion
of fire damp in mine No. 4 of the "a
madam collieries (Dunsmuir limitedl
near here Thursday night, the death
list of which stood this morning at 81,
has been halted TO await clearing Of
extensive masses of fallen rock.
Meanwhile additional details of the
struggle TO reach the mouth of the tun-
mel two miles from east drift No. 3.
where the blast occurred, were related
by Robert Brown.
Brown and ]. Glib were working
some distance from the scene of the
explosion. They started to fight their
way out and fell over Jack Weber.
Today Brown and Glib, companions
of Weber in the Cumberland hospital,
where they are among the six men how
ering near death, know that their strug-
giles were useless.
Air Remained Good.
Ihe air remained good in the cham
Der in which they had been at work
and last night a mule that had re-
NAMED quietly for "a hours after the
explosion was brought out alive.
As Brown and Glib stopped to pick
up Weber. six men passed them on
the run. Carrying Weber they soon
came upon the bodies of the six, who
had run into after-damp. Next they
encountered Chinaman known as Big
Sullivan, who said he coAld lead them
out. They ignored his offer. He made
his way to the outside unharmed, while
the three white men were reported
among the dead. Weber, after a time
recovered enough to walk, and the three
tried to get up a stope. Encounterin1
after-damp, they turned down the stopt
following two attempts, and, in a short
distance collapsed. They were found
by a rescue party that heard their
sroans and then saw the electric lights
on their hats.
Explosion Last August.
No explanation had been offered for
the tragedy. An explosion last August
in the same mine that took thirteen
lives was attributed to ignition of fire
damp by an electric spark that flashed
when a cable leading to an electric
drilling machine broke. The nearest
electric machinery, pump and a COM
pressor, was hundred feet from Thurs
day nights explosion, and neither de.
vice was in operation at the time.
A coroner's jury impanelled last
night viewed the bodies of 81 victims
and then adjourned until February 16
Fourteen of the bodies recovered were
those of white men and seventeen those
of Chinese.
