MORE THAN5 50 DEAD
Awful Calamity in a West
Virginia Mine.
EXPLOSION (ONfS WITHOUT WARNING


A dispatch from Fire Creek. w. Va. ,
dated March u. SAYS the most diSas-
trous mine explosion ever known in
the New River district occurred AT the
Red Ash mine shortly after the miners
went Ia work. Although the most he
role work Of the rcscuing party has
been going on necessarily all day ii is
impossible tonight to estimate the full
extent Of the loss Of life and property.
More than fifty dead bodies have al
ready been taken out and the number
of the dead may reach scvcnty-tivc or
more. II is thought tonight that at
least forty-tivc miners are yet en-
tombcd in the wrecked mine.
The Red Ash mine is II large drift
and the explosion occurred near the
entrance, which was thus closed by the
falling slate, cntombiug a large mum.

The scene of the disaster is between
this place and Thcrmond, on the south
branch of the Chesapeake n Ohio rail
way. and every assistance possible was
rendered by the railway company and
the adjoining mining towns. IiclicI
parties from great distances arrived rs
soon as possible.

manager, Fred Howell, spared noctfort

entombcd were there in full force an,
their anxiety and distrcs, was q in

At a late hour the most reliable cS
innate puts the list of victims at l?5.
The general belief is that the cXplo
sion occurred 10y contact with dus
when the miners entered in the morn
ing with their lamps. and that it wa
not fire damp as had been currcntl
reported. Nearly all the mcn en-
ployed in the mine were white. onl
