Victims Of Utah Mine Disaster
May Reach $50.
EXTREME ESTIMATE TOO LARGE
Many of the Dead Belonged to
Secret Orders, and Their Re-
mains Were Sought.

Dispatches of Thursday from Sco-
field, Utah, were to the effect that the
extreme estimate of dead was con-
ceded to have been too large, and it
was numerically impossible to place
the loss of life at 800 as there were
not that many men in the mine. The
probabilities are that 23O will be
about the total number of dead.
There were not enough cofins in
the camp to bury the dead, and to add
horror to the situation the bodies were
rapidly decomposing.
There were fifty bodies for which
no provision for burial had been
made. A joint committee of Odd
Fellows and Knights of Pythias spent
the day among the dead, identifying
members Of their orders. They found
about twenty of each among the dead.
The school children of the city gath
cred carload of flowers which were
sent to Scofeld in special car at their

Subscriptions for the relief Of the
sufferers are coming in from all over
