(Per United Press Association.) ■:.'■"" AUCKLAND, October 24. '" The,inquest on the body of Wallace, recovered from the Jubilee mine, Paeroa, took place to-day^ The poor fellow must have been stupified by the fumes and clambered up to the top of the1 first set nearest the face. Tbe earth must have fallen in on him and buried.him completely, with the exception of portion of the right leg.. It appears the rescue party explored the spot at the time of the fire, but owing to the smoke and heat, and.no one suspecting that the missing man would have climbed over the set, tbe explorers left the spot unconscious that what they sought was so near.
