Very Little Hope of Saving the Wrecked Vessel. Denver, August 29. A special to 'the News from Central City, Col., says: The accidental flooding of the Amcr- leus and Sleepy Hollow mines this after noon ihas caused the death, it is be' lleved, of thirteen miners. Every effort is being made to rescue the men, but little hope is entertained of the ability of the workers to do so. A little after 8 o'clock the water in the lower workings of the FIsk Mine, east of the maln shaft, broke through the old workings of a vein that has- not been worked for a number of years. Coursing eastward, it struck the Amcrlcus where two Italian miners whose names have not been learned, were at work in the ower part of the shaft. They were both drowned. In Its course the water was diverted to the Sleepy Hollow mine, in the easterly portion of the risk vein Fourteen men 'were working In the Sleepy Hollow mine, three of whom escaped, A courier was sent to the adjacent mines and all the other workmen escaped. Those In Sleepy Hollow mine whose escape was shut off were as follows: N. Vegas, B, Bracken, 'Brower R. Risk, William P. Risk, .Thos. Rouse, Thos. Williams, M. Plaeonl, Thomas Calbls, J. Harris, S. Valero, and John Parks. The work of rescue was commenced Immediately. The farthest depth readied! was 330 feet, the accumulated gas forced up by the rising waiters being so dense that a can dle would not burn at a greater depth. A second effort was made but was not successful and all the men will undoubt edly drown before they can be rescued COAL MINER ROBBED. Roseburg, Or., Aug. 29.
