MINERS EyTONBED.
An Explosion Occurs at the Vulcan
Mine in Colorado.
OVER FIFTY LIVES PROBABLY LOST.
A Scene Of Wild Confusion Ut the Mine,
Women and Children Rushing Wild
~ About In Their Anguish-Al
business Suspended.

GLENwooD SPRINGS, Col, Feb. 49,
A gas explosion occurred In the VULGAR
mine at Newcastle, just before /.
o'clock yesterday, when there were
between so and 80 men at work. Al
the shaft mouth hole 100 feet square
was blown out Ed WEIGH, who wal
at the mouth Of the tunnel when the
explosion took place, was blown tc
atoms Timbers two feet square were
blown into the Grand river, 400 feet
away. 1t is almost certain that all the
men in the mine persisted.
Smoke rushed from the shaft in
dense black Clouds which prevented
the entrance Of anyone. The fans
were the only means Of supplying air
to the workmen, and as these were COM
pletely demolished, the last hope Of
anyone being found alive was cut of.
The scene at the mine was one Of the
widest confusion. Wives and children
Of the victims rushed wildly to and
fro, tearing their hair and rending the
air in the deep anguish which such q
calamity brings.
All business Is practically suspended;
everyone is dazed at the awfulness Of
the sudden disaster. No warning was
given the peaceful villagers until
sudden report, as from hundred can
non, resounded throughout the valley,
making the earth tremble. People
rushed out OF homes and places Of
business to see what had happened,
and one look toward the Vulcan was
sufficient, for dense cloud of smoke
issuing from the mouth Of the slope
met the eyes Of the gazers and told the
tale Of death.
The cause Of the explosion Is not yet
known. The coal fields In which the
Vulcan mine Is located have been
troubled with subterranean gases for
many years and it is thought that the
disaster may have been caused by the
breaking into an immense pocket Of
gas On February State Coal
Mine Inspector Grifiiths inspected the
mine and pronounced it In splendid
condition, and the work is said to have
been done at all times in the most
careful manner.
The Vulcan has always been fruit
full source Of disquiet to the Canon City
Fuel Co. Despite its bad reputation,
the company maintains that If only an
explosion occurred that was not fol-
lowed by fire there were frequent
places in the tunnels and drifts for the
men to seek refuge. But the violent
surface disturbance does not tolerate
the belief that anyone is saved from
the wreck and miners have abandoned
hope.
The mine was running almost to Its
full capacity, owing to the fuel war
that has been waged in the west, and
was shipping 10 to Is cars day.
Owing to the dangerous character Of
The mine the miners were not allowed
% enter the slope with any matches in
their possession, but the rule was not
enforced, for, although death was i'm
ninent for anyone venturing to strike
! light, some Of the more ignorant
miners could not be taught that their
ives depended on the observance Of
he order and frequent attractions OF
he rule were reported at headquar-
ers.
