AT MS MINE
: Word was received in town yes
terday of an accident at the Bums
coal mine, whereby Andrew Ander
son, one of Burn’s partners and
i two other mine workers were tem
porarily put out of commission by
gas fumes following the setting off
of a blast or two in the mine The
men came to after a brief spell
* of unconsciousness and were able
; to resume duties after a brief rest.
Inquiry at the mine this morning
elicited the fact that shortly after
the noon hour, several charges of
„ powder were set off in the mine.
Anderson and two of the men went
into the shaft before the smoke had
cleared, Anderson leading the way.
The other workmen, after the lapse
of several minutes, apprehending
trouble, went into the shaft and
found Anderson and the two other
men on the floor in an unconscious
j state. They carried them out to the
open air quickly and loosened the
clothing about them. The two men
came to in a few minutes, but
Anderson remained unconscious for
about half an hour.
■ Alarmed at his apparent dan
gerous state, one of the men was
despatched from the mine to the
messhouse, where the telephone is
located, for the purpose of calling
up the hospital and getting instruc
tions as to what should be done
to revive the man. When this man
returned, however, Anderson had
come to.
After resting for about an hour
or so, Anderson and the other men
were able to resume their duties.

surely be back this spring.

and his brother Lester (Porky)
Sumerlin, have taken a logging con
tract and that they are getting
along fine. He says that the con
tract he now has may be extended
to cover a period of years, or it
"may end in May next. In the latter;

they will be back in Xenana. j
