Victoria, B. C -An explosion oc
curred in No. 5 Bhaf t of the Wellington
collieries, It. Dunsmuir & Sons, pro
prietors. Tho forco of tho explosion
displaced all ot tho Hoisting goar.
Hon. Dunsmuir proceeded in a special
train to the mine immediately after
tho news camo hero.
An eye-witness statcB that whon
about 100 yards from tho pit he heard
a report like a largo cannon, and there
inatantly shot far into tho air a dense
mass of black smoko aud dust which
converted tho snowy covering of the
ground into inky blackness. This
continued for five minute, and then
subsided, leaving everything appar
ently as before, though a portion of
the fan houso had been destroyed.
Manager Brydon at onco proceeded
to the shaft, and attention was first
paid to repairing the fan house, which
waa quickly accomplished, and the fan
started again. The shaft timbors were
destroyed and tho cages could not bo
used, but a pulley aud ropo wero at
onco prepared.
Meanwhile tho tirst man to come
out of tho pit had climbed, by means
of the caco wire cable, through the
shattered timbers to within 100 feet
of the top, when a lopo waa lowered
to him and ho reached tho surface in
an exhausted cond tion. A socond
miner was also enabled to got, by this
perilous method, to the earth, while it
is retried that a third, when fifty
feet from tho top, lost his hold and
fell to certain death at tho bottom of
the shaft. Two men wero then low
ored as a soarch party, and returned
stating that nothing could bo heard
but calls from below. Fortunately
tho mine had not been fired, so dan
ger from this source was averted. A
temporary cage was made and lowered
to a considerable depth, minors reach
ing it by means of ladders.
Tho explosion took placo in tho last
level. In this twenty white miners
wero imprisoned, and fears that thoy
wore all killed wore verified later, aa
all woro carried to tho surface dead,
and tho work of taking out Chinese
began. Thirty-four whito men and
thirty-six Chinese lost their lives. Tho
mino is damaged to tho extent of
about $30,000. Tho cause of tho ex
plosion is a mystory.
