The missing parts of the gasoline hoist had been adjusted, but the windlass was still in use holsting out of the winze. A five gallon can of gasolin was emptied Into the tank to test the ma c e, wh a ak: curred and the asoline ran over the r of the station iand drifted down the footwall of the winze. Five minutes after the gasoline had | been poured into the tank the men in the | winze smelled a strong odor of gasoline | They firmly secured some ol skids to the | bucket and rope and began climbing t ladder. The winze is seven feet deep and they were less than one-half the way up.

When about thirty feet from tha top the gasoline ignited from his candle and in a second a streak of fire shot up and down the winze. Later in the afternoon L. J. Chamber- lain and M. C. Cammon went into the mine. The gas smelled strong and Chamberlain saw a spark crawling at the winze and a momentar crawling of a small streak of fire, which was followed In an instant by a violent explosion. Chamberlain instinctively threw Mmself on his face, which dipped in the drain water, M. C. Cammon at the same moment being blown forty feet, passing Chamberlain like a ball out of a cannor Both men scrambled out of the drift into the main tunnel, each with hands slightly scratched and other brulses. ;MEXICAN GOVERNMENT MAY FORESTALL A TRUST | CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 1.—It mored here that the Mexican Government iIs has in contemplation the admission of sugar from Cuba free of duty in order to f 1l the operations of the combine that recently purchased the entire product f three of the leading sugar-produ es of Southern Mexico.
