Every Possible Meant ol Reaching Entombed
Miners Tried la Vals - Accident Wat
Is No. Shaft, Union Coal
Mines.
VICTORIA, B. C, Feb. 13.-A fright
ful explosion occurred tod.iy In the Un
ion Ci.al Mines owned by the Welling"
ton Colliery Company of wnich Ja.me9
Dunsniulr, premier of the provlncv, W
the principal shareholder, and it la be
lieved that sixty miners pirlshed.
The explosion ,ook place about It
o'clock this forenoon In No. t Bhaft, one
of the workings of a big coal mlna
in.e. There were sixty men In'lt when
the explosion took place and It Is feared
that not one of them escaped.
The explosion Ignited the mine,
wrecking the ihaft frtm midway down
t i th? bottom and filling It with a sol
d macs of rocks, earth and timber. Tho
first explosion was followed by several
mere, while dense volumes of smok'3
i.isulng from vent holes indicated that
die well a gas was doing its des
tructive work below.
As soon as practicable afUr the ac
cident, men of the morning shift In
No. 5 organized a rescue party. No,
is situated about a mile from No. 8;
but the two working are connected by
a tunnel and through thi channel
an attempt was made to reach the un
f .rtunaie fellows In the wrecked shaft.
They had not cut their way many
yards through the debris when they
ncountered a Ire which rendered the
ulaca untenable and ob'.IgM the party
to de-fist A' 'toneless message came
tack by telephone to the surface con
veying the heartbreaking news to anx
ious relatives of the Imprisoned men,
whiwe urging was not necessary to In
duce the relkf party to return to their
apfarently hopeless task.
Overcome at last by gas and smoke,
they withdrew from No. 5 and com
ne-nced work on a long cut from N.
4. the only other means of rescuing the
men.
A tecond explosion occurred In No. 5
shift tonight, but it had been expected
and all the men had left the workings.
There were no casualties. This explo
sion prevents any iurther efforts being
made to rescue the entombed miners
through No. 5 shaft. The only way la
which any of them could escape would
be by reaching some remote portion of
the workings to which the fatal gases
and smoke could not penetrate. The
gas of a coal mine does Its work in a
few minutes, hence the hopeiessr.esa'of
the task of saving men who had been
in it for hours.
The last report of the Inspector of
mines pronounces the shaft as comply
ing with the regulations governing coat
nines.
