DEATH IN A MINE. A FEARFUL DISASTER IN COLORADO.
O^u of the most serious and saddest accidents ever known in Colorado occurred in the White Coal Ash Mine. An old abandoned mine runs alongside the White Ash, and has for months been full of water, which, without a moment's warning, burst through intj the White Ash Mine, tilling it full of mud atid watar. Ten miners are known to have been at work in the White Ash Mine at the time of the accident, and not ono of them could have lived five minutes after the surging masa broke in on them. It will take between two and three weeks before their bodies can be reached. Work will be commenced at once by hundreds of willing hands in order to pump the mine out, but old miner? who have been through the mine say that it will be impossible to clear the mine and reach the bodies under two and perhaps three weeks. Part of the mon leave families who were dependent upon them, while the re3t are single. All are highly spoken of.
