This week we have been reading a book called the mines afire because next Monday we are going to the mine for a day. The book has been set out as someone who was there on the days diary. Here are some facts about the mine explosion.
The Brunner mine exploded at 9:30 on Tuesday the 26th of march 1896.
It killed 65 miners down below.
It was the worst mining disaster in New Zealand history.
