Seattle. Wash. Aug. PA terrible catastrophe
occurred in the Oregon Improvement Company's
coal mines at Franklin. thirty-four miles from
this city, at / o'clock mis- afternoon. Already
thirty-seven bodies have been recovered from the
mine. and 1T is known that many others are i'm
prsoned in the fiery furnace. The number is as
yet only a matter Of conjecture and 1t Is probable
that none will escape
The first news OF the tragedy received In
this city by Manager Smith of the mine com
pany, at 1:2O this afternoon in the shape OF a
telegram from the mine superintendent at Frank

The officials In this city are retlcent. and re-

yond the fact that the mine caught fire ond
that thirty seven dead bodies have already been
removed
The fire II is said caught In Breast No. 81 In
the sixth level. but of the cause nothing has
been learned The last report was to the effect
that the fire was still raging. and heroic efforts
were being made to recover others known to be
In the mine.

thirty-seven men killed probably died from being
sunocated by the smoke, as the bodies do not
show burns OF a fatal nature. what proper
