FIRE IN MINE
47 MEN TRAPPED (Rec. February 12, 5.5 p.m.) Ottawa, February 10. A message from Sudbury, Ontario, states that forty-seven men, trapped by a fire in the Hollinger gold mine, are believed to be dead. Two bodies have been recovered. Smoke is halting rescue work. The blaze was caused by spontaneous combustion in an abandoned working.—A.P.A. and "Sun.” SEVEN MEN SAVED (Rec. February 12, 11.5 p.m.) Vancouver, February 11. Seven miners have been taken alive from the gas-filled levels of the Hollinger goldmine at North Bay, and there is still hope that the remaining forty men may be saved by the morning. Two relief trains carrying gas masks broke all speed records from Toronto to Timmins, 452 miles.
