tho remains of which, now vjiLle in

character of the work. Throurli the
Wyoming valley this mine bad the
reputation of being the best and
largest; whence it is to be inferred
that all the rest must be of a rnlher
inferior clnaa. When in full working
Older it yielded T0U tons of com per
day ; but during a recent strike of the
miners it was idle for a term of three
months. It was leased by the Dela

other mince in tbe valley, and by tin
ingenious plan of leasing in place of
oiening mines themselves, they avoid
the charge of being held responsible
for the manner of their construction.
The lessee of a mine, however, is
practically the owner, fur when lie
comes to yield tip his lease perhaps
there is no mine left.
There is no doubt, however, that
tho Avondule mine was one of the
best and worst in the valley. The
innsonry work, running down the
sidea of the shad some twenty tcet,
was as strong as stone and cement
could make it. The engine houso was

flnest kind used in tho colliery hnsi

no room for improvement. The shaft
was sunk to a depth of 237 feet, with
a spneo twenty-nix feet by twelve,
divided in the centre by a wooden
partition, on one side of which tho
pure airdotconded to tho mine, and on
tho ollu r tho impure vapors ascended
to the top and were dissipitled abroad.
Alter fjoini; in a sheer descent to the
bottom of this shaft tbe explorer of
the mine fount on cither hand two
long galleries, or avenues, one branch

8U0 feet. Moving straight onward at
pight angles to tho shaft, and at a dis

above, and turning back tho sulphu
rous gases from tho Lluiing furnace
into tlio galleries and chamber where
the miners were at work. The men
had descended lo their work but three
hours before.
It should be explained that the
galleries which penetrate this mine
are irregular in line, running east and
west under the hill to a considerable
distance, with chambers at intervals
and doom at varying distances to keep
out currents of foul air. There ia no
doubt but that the minora alonce di

In the light of w hut the brave men
discovered on going down early in the
morning to rescue their fallen com
rades, we can easily traco what
followed when the discovery became
known through the mine that the
shaft was stopped and tho fresh air of
heaven excluded. All those in the
vicinity of the furnace retreated by
winding way so as to avoid all con
tact with the poisonuus gases, to the
utmost limits of the mine, to a gang
way l,2o0 feet f rom the bottom nt the

blackness of eternal tiighl clotted
around them. It is carefully estima
ted that the strongest ot tlio men
succumbed in eight hours after their
sclf-itnniuroiiicnl. Thusupply of fresh
air which they locked in was, quickly
exhausted by the breathing of sixty
auven pairuf powerful lungs ; while
ull tho time tlio coul above, below and
around them was emitting the deadly
carbon. Mr. Thomas, ore of the first,
of tho heroic fellows who penetrated
to this point in search of tho missini;
men, reports that after breaking in
Ihe barrier and gaining entrance to
the gangway where all those human
lives surrendered to tho Kine of Ter
rors, the sight that met his guxo coin
itlctely unmanned him, and he wept
like a little child. To him there was
nothing terrible in the spectacle; tho

cold begrimed face were familiar to
his eyes, and from Ihe danger of

There was no loud, long wail, and ail
