three pits. The owners and managers of
the mines tried to descend into the burning
pits, but the fumes of the gas were SO heavy
and overpowering that they were compelled
to desist their efforts in this direction.
Eventually rescuing party succeeded in
entering the mine and reaching the en-
tombed men. After considerable labor and
danger, the rescuers brought to the surface
2S miners who had been killed. They res
cued 81 men, who were in an unconscious
Condition. These latter were all BADLY
burned and bruised, and 20 of them subse-
quently succumbed to their injuries. 1t is

lighting cigarette.
