dangerous reef extending from two
miles outside of Point Grenville to
Capo Elizabeth, W. T. One mile out
side this reef abreast of Quinaiult a
sunken rook has been reported. Nav

The weather for the past five weeks
holds back all kinds of business, more
especially all businesses connected
with the fishing industry. The boats
can't make the usual lower grounds,
and if there the squalls drive them
back, Fortunately, though capsiz
ings have been numerous, there has,
so far, been very little loss of life.

they laughed at him and told him to
go ahead. The captain will probably
read up on the interstate commerce
bill.

captain and crew of the stanch craft
Bashing Wave, chartered for the sea
son by the Aberdeen Packing Co.,
yesterday had a narrow escape from a

tipping over at five o'clock and throw-
ing the entire force into the yeasty
waves near Htvaco wharf. Assist
ance was close at hand, and W. F.
was soon in dryor quarters. Geo.
waved his hand gaily to the shoro and
walked tue keel of the submerged

It is reported, says the Oregoniau,
that parties representing the Union
Pacific railway, or "sitting close to
the throne," are now in the city try
ing to buy the sawmill property of
the Holladay estate, more familiarly
known as Weidler's mill. TLe proD
erty inclndes four or five blocks,
which, it is Baid, the Union Pacific
desires as a freight yard. These
blocks would give considerable room
on this side, in addition to the ground
owned by the Northeip Pacific Ter
minal company, and would be a good
investment on general principles. As
a rule, railroads do not engage in the
enterprise of cutting lumber, but the
Union Pccific is the largest purchaser
in this market and it would not be
surprising if the company would find
it profitable to own a mill. The last
purchase of the company in this mar
ket was over a million ties, which
cost them S227,000. About five years
ago the Northern Pacific railway of
ficials made an offer of something
like S240.000 for tho property, but
Joe Holladay was not able to "give a
legal title. .

ENTOMBED IN THE MINE.
The Terrible Disaster at Nanaimo, B. C.
Nanaimo, B. C, May 4. At this
hour (2 r. m.) but little hope is enter
tained for the safety of the impris
oned men. Fire is still raging, but it
is thought it will soon be gotten un
der control. The rescuing party will
again attempt to go below.
All this day gangs of men have
been engaged in strenuous efforts to
subdue the flames in the No. 1 shaft,
and at 11 a. si, it was thought they
had the flames under control. Tho
Merryweather steam fire engine is
doing good work pumping water
from the harbor down the shaft, the
hand fire engine having been taken
down the mine, where it is fighting
the fire from the leveL
It is impossible to make an attempt
to get at tho imprisoned men until
the fire is subdued, for by so doing it
would drive the gas on to the fire and
canse a second disaster.
Thero is but little hope of saving
the men alivo, but an effort will be
made at the first possiblo moment to
reach the imprisoned miners. Over
one-half of tho dead, injured and im
prisoned men leave wives and fami
lies to mourn their untimely end.
At 9 p. sr. great advances have
been made in subduing the flames,
and it is now thought the fire is con
fined to a small portion of tho level
between the main and air shafts.
From present appearances the fire in
the air shaft itself is entirely out.
The expectation is that the firo will
be extinguished by daylight -this
morning. Instantly the fire is out,
the work of carrying air into the
workings will be proceeded with, and
tho impression is that by to-morrow
evening the full extent of tho disaster
will be ascertained.
Julius Michael, one of the injured,
stated that he was sitting in the cabin
at supper in No. 2 shaft. He felt a
concussion, when all scrambled out.
Ho became insensible, and was the
only one saved of his four compan
ions, whose dead bodies came up in
tho cage with him. Several hardly
appreciate the miraculous escape,
owing to the dazed feeling which
characterized all who came out from
the deadly pit. Only 150 yards from
the entrance to the shaft Michael
represents the explosion as some
thing terrific, when all became dark
ness. John Lynch, badly injured about
the face and hands, and hip fractured,
has been in dementia all day, his talk
being of work in tho pit. It i3
thought he will not recover, owing to
inhaling gas. The others were not
injured seriously, though all were
badly shaken up.
Samuel Hudson's heroic death is
unaccountable. He was a miner of
great experience, while those who
went down with him to rescno their
fellows were comparatively inexpori
rienced. He died from tho effects of
after damp. His brave deed is one of
tho brightest things in this carnival
of misery.
Fears aro entertaiued that tho
whole place may bo blown up, and
old miners say such a result is possi
blo. If so, the catastrophe would be
the greatest recorded in the history
of coal mining.
All hope of rescuing anyone in the
mines was long ago abandoned. All
that men can do is being done to
reach them. It was thought first of
cutting a ditch to salt water, so as to
attempt to put out the fire in No. 2
shaft by turning a stream of water
into it, but the scheme was aban
doned. It would only flood the mine,
rendering it practically useless for a
year, and would banish any hope that
might have been entertained of sav
ing tho lives of the men.
The mines extend out from the
shore more than a mile beneath tho
waters of the harbor, and as one looks
over the placid waves he cannot im
agine that beneath them aro impris
oned many dead, the fathers and sons
of oighty families of this little city.
Around the shaft tho scenes are har
rowing in the extreme. As each cage
came up anxious faces looked for
glad tidings that nev,er came, and
hope also so soon to be dispelled by
the truth that there is no prospect for
the dear ones who died at their post
of dutv.
Mr. Byder and Mr. Scott, of the
Wellington mines, went down this
afternoon, at the imminent risk of
their lives, in an endeavor to make an
investigation as to the manner of pro
cedure. Mr. Chandler, of tho Wel
lington mine, has been indefatigable
in his efforts to assist in the work of
rescue. Indeed, everybody seems pos-"
sessed with a desire to labor heroic
ally in the arduous and dangerous
work.
Grief-frantic women "tore their
hair in agony of sorrow, and with
babes at their bosoms continued to
walk up and down, mourning their
losses. Many are dementod and feel
that they should go into the cage to
fand their loved ones.
One-half the dead and imprisoned
men leave wive3 ana families to
mourn their untimely end.
It is believed late to-night that the
fire in tho air Bhaft has been extin
guished, and that a small body of
flame exists between the air nnd main
shaft, which will probably be con
quered to-morrow, when an attempt
will do maae 10 onng air in ana me
work of rescue will begin. By to
morrow night it is hoped the men
will be reached.
One woman in conversation to
night lamented the loss of husband,
father and brother, her all. She had
given up all hope and only prayed to
see her dead husband once more.
This is only one of many cases.
A black pall hang3 over the city.
Business houses are all closed, the
collieries shut up and the entire pop
ulation gathered at the scene of the
disaster. Broken-hearted wives, ter
ror stricken children and sorrowing
fathers hover in the viciuity and
mourn their terrible affliction. Like
Bachael of old, they refuse to bo
comforted. Even the skies seem to
share in tho general grief, for they
have been somber- and leaden col
ored all day, occasional showers of
rain casting a dreariness over the al
ready ghastly scene. The imprisoned
miners were all old settlers. Their
faces were familiar on the streets and
there will be many a void in the
homes of the people when the terrible
tale is told that they are doad. It is
almost impossible that any can have
survived, though many have that
hope deferred which maketh the
heart sick. People do not yet begin
to realize the extent of the calamity.
When tho exoitemenfc has passed
away the reaotion will be terrible.
The nature of the explosion is of
course unknown. It is generally aup-l
posea to no an explosion of coal dust
similar to that on tho Queen of the
Pacific. The tale will never be told.
Astonishing Success.
It is the duty of every person who
has used JBoschee's Qeiman Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in curing Consump
tion, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat
and lung diseases. No person can
use it without immediate relief. Three
doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists
to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle,
as 80,000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed
vras reported. Such a medicine as
the (xerman Syrup cannot bo too I
wiaeiy Known.- Ask. your druggist
about it. Sample bottles to try sold
at 10 cents. Begular size, 75 cents.
