ANOTHER MINE DISASTER,
Eight Men Probably Sunocated at White
Oaks, New Mexico.

Eight Men Probably Suffocated at White
Oaks, New Mexico.
Socorro, N. NJ, March 1O.-Eight min.
ers are supposed to have lost their lives
in the Old Abe coal mine near White
Oaks, New Mexico, today.
The eight men are imprisoned in the
mine and may have escaped with their
lives, but the chances seem to be that
they met frightful death by suffoca-
ton.
The shaft house of the Old Abe mine
caught fire shortly after noon and in a
few minutes the flames were commune
Gated to the shafting and other work
ings in the mine.
The fire ragged SO fiercely that only
one man In the mine at the time was
able to escape. That man was G. E.
Wilkinson, who happened to be stand
ing near the mouth of the mine and
was thus enabled to save his life.
The others were working in the rear
chambers of the mine. Their only
means Of exit was the shaft, or incline,
and the fire prevented them from reach
ing daylight in this way.
The work of rescue was commenced
by heroic hands without delay, but
there was little aid that could be ex-
tended to the entombed men, as the
heat Of the fire prevented the rescuers
from entering the mine.
Notwithstanding, everything possible
was done in the way Of preparations
for entering the mine when the cir
cumstances would permit.
The men will be reached, it is hoped,
by tomorrow morning, and their
friends are hoping that they may have
escaped death in the more remote por-
tions Of the mine.
How the fire originated is not given
in the dispatches.

good health. The greatest afiliction OF
the human race is impure blood.
There are about 24O0 disorders Incl

The best remedy for all blood dis

No remedy has ever had SO marked
