The accident happened last

miners to explode dynamite, and
they claim they were burying

ever, they threw rocks at the can
to see what would happen and the
box exploded, sending parts of
the caps, can and rocks in every
direction.
From Wednesday morning un
til Saturday morning they were
without attention and upon the
* arrival of hr. von Schrader he
! found that all were injured, and
1 it was found necessary to ampu
I f ate one hand of one, whereas,

might have been saved.

evening and arrived at Ellaniar
at 9 o’clock that evening, where
they were taken, in Charge by Su
