Ten men were descending in the cage at the time of the explosion. The explosion partly wrecked the shaft and those who were not instantly killed were slowly suffocated by gas. All of the bodies have been recovered. General excitement followed the explosion, which shook all the buildings in the little camp. The entire population, men, women and children, gathered about the mouth of the mine, and many of the frenzied women were with difficulty restrained from entering the mine to search for their husbands. The cause of the explosion has not been determined. |
