MINE INSPECTOR STEIN TALKS I He Says tho Oas Came From FlsBures in Disturbed Top Coal, Was Fired by a Shot and Dust Spread the Flames. Tlio tcrriblo explosion which occurred in tho Knickerbocker colliery on Saturday was tho subject of an official investigation to-day. Mino Inspector William Stein, General Superintendent John Vcitli, Division Super intendent John Skcath, District Superin tendent William Broughall nnd Mine Fore man John Brown met at tho colliery this morning and, entering tjie section of tho mino known as tlio Iiist Buck Mountain gangway, examined the breast wheie the explosion occurred. In conversation with an Evijnino HiutAl.n reporter after the investigation was finished Mine Inspector Stein said the breast in which tlio explosion took place (No. 20) is up from tlio stump heading about eight feet. Tho coal in tlio breast is rather friable, or dislo cated, by slips or fissures in the vein. Tlio vein itself is about fifteen feet thick. On the morning of the accident Andrew Bossar and Michael Chico, the miners in breast 20, had fired a few shots which displaced tho entire thickness of tlio vein to tlio top slate. They then drilled a hole in tlio bottom bench and, without examining for gas overhead, they fired tlio blast, which ignited tho gas that had been liberated from tlio fissures in tlio vein exposed by the top coal falling. Two of tho men who wero burned were in breast 27. They had just fired a shot and were in tho act of cutting a prop, or jugglar hole, when they wero burned, but only slightly. The men workingin breast No. 25 had come down foi a lunch and were bitting in the heading connecting breasts 25 and 20. Tlio men at work in breast 25 had como down for iiianway planks and were sitting in tho heading con necting breasts 21 and 25. The latter breast is up ten yards from the stump heading, or about twenty yards from the gangway. No. 21 breast is up sixty-six feet from tho head ing, or ninety-six feet from tlio gangway. Tho headings connecting all those breasts aro in u straight lino with one. another and parallel with tlio gangway, and this was tho course the firo from the explosion took. Lord, tlio starter, was at the battery Of breast No. 2t and in such a position that he could not bo dangerously injured, as the force of tlio explosion was comparatively slight at that point. The oillcials of tho colliery were to-day notified that all the vic tims will recover. Mine Inspector Stein says vory little gas has heretofore been experienced or seen in tlio workings of the Knickerbocker colliery, yet the company had deemed it necossary that tlio miners should work with locked safety lamps in order to prevent nuy acci dent from explosion of gas; aud the firo bosses' report book kept at the colliery shows that little or no gas is found by them in making their daily examinations. Eight breasts are nt present being worked from tho gangway, and tho gangway, chutes and headings aro at present working with a flowing current of air of from thirty to fifty thousand cubic feet. Tlio workings aro unusually dry and a great deal of coal dust is occasionally floating in the atmosphere by reason of the loading of coal, and is also disturbed by tho move ments of tho workmen in tho breasts and nianways ; and this dust may have intensi fied the explosion, as the concussion would disturb tlio'dust and it would bo ignited by the llamo from the ignited gas, which woul account for the spreading of the fire, as tho gas itself was of a very limited quantity. Genoral Superintendent Veith stated to-day that in view of the explosion ho had decided to treat in the future tho section of tlio Knickerbocker colliery referred to tho samo as tho most gaseous colliery under his charge, so that all the safeguards employed in gaseous places will hereafter be resorted to In tho Knickerbocker.
