The flying receiver head blew to pieces a large heated stove, so that in a few minutes the two- room building was a mass of flames, and the body of Wm.! Sheardoun was badly burned. E,. G. Rognon was the first person on the scene, but when he arrived the building was a mass of flames, and it was impossible to enter it. The body of Barclay was blown through two walls of the building so that it escaped the flames. The cause of the accident is hard to determine, but it is thought that the extreme cold had something to do with it, probably making the metal ware brittle, but the tremendous force of the explosion can hardly be account- ed for since there was not over 90 pounds pressure at the time of receiver has a safety valve ee operates when the pressure es more than this, and the pressor at the foot of the hill S eo remdlated automatically that slows down when the pressure reaches go pounds. no blame can possibly be attach- 0 anyone. mine was inspected and pass- upon this fall by an official int from the dept. of mines for fits purpose.

'Dr. Blair, Coroner, held an in- quest on Thursday night in' the Town Hall, Dryden. After view- ing and identifying the remains to: allow them to be claimed by their friends, the jury was ad- journed till the 17th, when the Inspector from the Dept. of Mines will be present to investi- gate, and to hear the evidence re- gdrding the accident. James Barclay is a: ell known man in this district, having lived around here for the last twenty years. He was unmarried. Wn. Shear doun has a wife and family in: Fort William. He is a re- turned soldier and was arranging to buy a place near here. The GW.V.A. wired the local branch to take charge of his remains for the present.

Much missionary work must be done in the meantime, and all who feel interested in the Church should report to the sec- retary of the Board, or any mem- ber of the Board, what contribu- tion they are willing to make.
