Later details of tho accident which occurred in the Kaiiangata coal mine, resulting in the death of two men, named William Lee and Frederick Anderson, show that work was going on in the main drive to block off a fire that had broken out. JLee and Anderson went down to see if they could locate the fire. They entered the return airway with searchlights, and were, overcome with black damn. The manager, on finding out what they had done, at ouoe took steps to search for them. Auderson was found some 30 feet away from the door, aud a second party found Leo 200 feet away. Efforts were made to resuscitate them, but without avail. That dreadful word ''consumption" need never be feared if Dr. Sheldon's New Dis , covery is taken in time. Thousands speak of it in the highest praise. For sale by H. E. Eton, Chemist, Masterton, J. Baillie, Carterton, and tbe Mauriceville Co I operative Store. Mauriceville West.
