MEN SEALED IN 4 BURNING MINI
Five Known 70 Ne There, ana Thero May Have
Been q Few More,

BRMiNeHAM, Ala. Sept. 2o.-Five men are
known to have persisted and three or four others
are said to DO missing in the Belle.Ellen No. .
mine, located q few miles below Blocton, In Bib
county, and discovered on fire this morning.
The FIRE 10 supposed to have originated from
a bursted steam pipo. When discovered the
flames had gained considerable Roadway, and 1t
was with much difficulty that the miners were
rescued. Many crawled out Of the slope to the
fresh air. A special train was sent to Blocton
for assistance. and many men responded.
In the No. Q mlno nearly 200 miners labor.
There was no hose to BIO secured with which to
fight the flames. At one time, too, 1t was
thought the flames were being subdued, but In a
few moments the mine looked like a volcano.
Every effort was made to reach the entombed
miners, but In vain. 1t was decided late this af-
ternoon to leave the men to their fate, and the
mouth Of the slope was sealed up for the pur.
pose Of smothering the flames. Exactly how
many men persisted will not be known until the
excitement abates and a roll-call can be had. 1t
10 believed the mine can be saved. though great
damage has been done. The mine was recently
opened and the coal was very easily ignited.
