Out of the Third Vv.7..;; " , Tunnel. . . ' - Fernie, B. C, May 23, Oae of the worst coal mine disasters . in tbe hutorj of British Columbia oc curred at the Coal.Crtek mines, at .7 o'clock list night, when from 125 tor 150 men met almost instant death in mines Nos. 2 and"3. ; The explo sion occurred in the dep' h of No.. 2, and not a man out of more than 100 employed in that mine escaped to tell the tale. From No. 3 work ings, which are connect d with No. 2, about 21 men escaped. The firt-t intimaton of the disaster" which those on the outride received, was a rush of coal dust and fire to tbe height of over 1000 feet above the fan. - Word was immediately tent to Ferjiie, five miles from the mines and inside of 12 minutes from ; the time tbe accident occurred j relief parties were at work. . R. Drennan, Dr. Bonrit-1 and True Weatherby were the first to enter the , mine. When about 5oo feet int v the work Bg' Drennan was overcome by after damp, arid had it not been for his two o mpanions, would have perish ed. On being removed to .the outer air he recovered and gave instruc tions to the rescuing party to com mence repairihgtbe overcasts. The overcasts are the pipes which con nect the air through the mine. As they had been almost completely desiroyed. it was impossible to en ter, owing. to the after-damp which prevailed. . '-: -. '-.i;..- Volunteers were called for and a ecore of brave men sprang '. to the work. For nearly six hours this policy was pursued with, tireless en ergy. Every few minutes the men would collapse, and were borne to the outer air anl their places , were quickly filled by new volunteere. The first body recovered was taken from No. 3 mine about II: o'ciock. Several hours "elapsed and -then three more budiesr werj. recovered. None of the victims gave the el ght est signs cf life, and wtre removed to the washout. At 4 " o'clock this moriiing relief parties had penetrat ed so far that the gas became un bearable, and operations had to be suspended for an hour or two in or der to 1 t the n.e i clear the after damp. i.'.V J : " Many acts of bravely-were wit neesed during the night. .The he roic work of a miner named True Wealherby, who time and again en tered the pit where men were diall ing all around him was particularly noticeable. So far only 10 bodies have been taken from the mine, several days will elapse before - all are recovered. The mine is free from fire, - and the bjdies will be removed as fast a3 the after-damp is cleared from the min. The rescuing parties are working four-hour shifts, and : the coanpany is doing all in its power to assist in the work. General Su perintendent Stockett aDd Superin tendent Drennan have been . at tbe scene-ever'since the accident, and a:e doing all in their power -for the men who are working. The town is horror-stricken :-. and heart-rending scenes meet the eye on - every side. All day the - trains to the mine have been crowded with anx ious friends and relatives cf the im prisoned men, hurrying to the scene of the disaster. A meeting of the board of trade has been called to organize a relief fund for the suffer ers. ; The cause of the accident is unknown, but the opinion of many of the miners is that it wa& the" re sult of: a heavy shot from one of the machines. Many of the miners were ignorant foreigners and one of the mine shifts was always more or less gaeeous. It is reported in Fer nie this evening that" the explosion resulted from the use by a careless Italian of an "open lamp. - Another theory of the cause of the explosion is that a miner striJck a match, ex ploding the gas, which was. almost always present in No. 2 shafts The true cause of the; disaster will probably- never be' known. " -Fernie. B. C Mav 24. The loss of lives in the Coal Creek mines on i nnrsaay is even greater tnan was at first reported. It" is- now esti mated that from 150 to 175 men met almost instant death.. The first body recovered was taken from No. 3. mine about 11 -o'clock," and was a lad of 13. . " Washington, May 24. Lord Pauncefote, the Britishrambassador to.th'e United-.
