Scene at the Fated Pit Beggars Description
Work of Rescue of the Living and Re-
covery of the Dead Quickly Begun, and
Everything Possible Done to Make 1t Eff
ficient-SOme Die by Fire and Others by
Suffocat,On.
Chicago, May 1.-THE following is
received here from Salt Lake, Utah,
dated May /:
''The mining camp at Scofeld, on the
line of the Rio Grande Western road
near Cotton, Utah, is the scene Of great
excitement on account of Il terrific eX-
plosiOn which occurred yesterday III
the winter quarters of the coal mine
owned by the Pleasant Valley Coal
company. The cause of the explosion
is attributed to the blowing up of a
number of kegs Of blasting powder.
The scene at the mine beggars de-
scription. The work of rescue is going
on and everything possible is being
done to relieve the suffering and ascer-
tain the number of dead. Superintend-
ent Sharp, of the coal company, and
Superintendent Welby, of the railroad
company, have gone to the scene on a
special train.
Ninety Bodies Recovered.
'It is reported that ninety bodies have
already been recovered and that there
are more in the mine. Among the dead
already identified are the following:
Roger Davis, Jack Wilson, r. T..
Evans Pete Crockett, -- Anderson,
- HaddOw and son.
Severely injured: John Kerton,
Thomas Tivsey and son, William
Bewete, Thomas Sellers, Thomas
Brown"
Death for $50 Miners.
"A special to The Tribune from SEQ
field says: There have been eighty
five dead bodies taken out of No. 4
mine of the Pleasant Valley Coal COM
pany ut the winter quarters camp, two
miles above there. There were 250
men at work in the two mines, Nos.
1 and t. The balance Of the miners
are dead. The explosion is supposed
to have occurred in No. and extended
by connection to No. 1. The men in
No. / are chOked. Those in No. 1 are
burned and CharrGd.'

Death for $50 Miners.
UPwAED OF 200 ARE DEAD.
Late Reports Tell OF Nothing but COrpseS
Taken from the Mine.

Salt Lake, Utah, May "A special
dated May /, says: 1.-The English lam
guage cannot describe the appalling
disaster which occurred here at 1925
this forenoon by an explosion in Mine
No. 4, of the Pleasant Valley Coal COM
pany, and by which certainly 200 men
and upwards have lost their lives. At
this hour 1871 bodies have been recover
ed and the work of rescue is still pro-
ceeding and will continue until all the
bodies are brought to the surface.
There are willing hands at work, and
as fast as bodies are reached they are
brought down to the boarding houses
and other company buildings, where
they are dressed and prepared for the
corOner's inquest.
These buildings are numerous, and
in each are from ten to thirty five
bodies When a corpse is brought out
it is usually carried from the mouth Of
each tunnel to the place of deposit.
Here there is a corps of men from four
to ten in number with sponges, hot and
cold water in tubs, and other recepta-
cles The clothing is first removed, the
SCOT, smoke and powder burns washed
from their faces, the bodies prepared
and laid out in long robes, where they
are identified by a tag with name and
address attached to await identification
by relatives or friends.
The removal Of bodies began at II
o'clock today, and every diligence is
used to get the charred and mangled
remains out of the mine. Many hum
dreds of men have freely volunteered
their services, and as fast as one set
or force is tired or worn out others take
their places. While the stencil Of smoke
and powder is sickening, resembling
much that of a dissecting room, there
are brave-hearted and brawny men of
muscle who have been continuously at
work since the moment of the eX-
plosion. AS soon as the accident was
known officials of the coal company at
Salt Lake City, and also the railroad
company, were notified of the disaster
and they are doing all that can he done
i'll such an emergency.

London, May 1.-The following dis
patch has been sent by Lord Roberts
to the. war office:
''Bloemfontein, April 30.-The Beers
made very persistent attacks around
Thabanchu Saturday and Sunday But
the position which the Eighth run
dies division holds is very strong, and
he had the assistance Of GOrdons and
Dickson's brigades, the cavalry under
French and Smith-Dorrien's infantry

London, May 1.-The Beers are now
showing uncommon activity west Of
BIOenfOntein. They are in force be-
tween Fourteen Streams and Kimber-
ley On Sunday they occupied Wind
sorton, west Of the railway, and now
threaten to interrupt the communica-
lions of the British force at Warren
ton, to the north. This, too, at a time
when General Hunter is about to start
on a 2OO-mile march to Mafeking, prob
ably with 5000 men. To the east of
Bloemfontein the Beers Sunday night
were still holding the hills near Thaba
NChu, while behind them long wagon
tranis, loaded with wheat for the Boef
army in the north, are moving through
Ladybrand.
The British captured one BOer con-
voy on Saturday, but it's size is not
mentioned in the dispatch which bare
~ announces the fact. African horse
sickness has broken out in General
Buffers army. 1t proves especially
fatal among freshly arrived animals.
The Bloemfontein correspondents
point out that the deficiencies in the
veterinary department cause thou
sands Of losses.
The morning papers give special
prominence to the statement of a news
agency that Sir Redvers Butler sent
his resignation TO Lord Roberts after
the Spion kop censures were published,
and that Lord Roberts declined to ac-
cept it.
Ladysmith, May 1. - The country

Gene sis of Ore Deposits.

The origin Of ore deposits is an in
teresting and practical subject of
discussion, and one that has had
considerable of value contributed by
men who have given the vast subject
careful study. The subject is one of
scientific inquiry and of immediate
practical value to metal mines every
where 1t is, OF course, easy to say.
I'VE don't care how the ore origina-
ted, The question for us is where is
it and how can it be best reached
and most economically treated?"
Yet a satisfactory solution of the
more abstract scientific inquiry will
aud in answering the concrete practi-
cal requirements Of the miner. This
last fact gives great Importance to
the contributions of biologists and
scientists during the past 20 years,
the result being that the matter is
emerging from the shadowy domain
OF theory and hypothesis, and is as
Stunning the nature OF an exact prob
lem which admits of definite and
satisfactory solution. In the last
few months have been received
several monographs on the subject
OF the genesis of ore deposits, and
another is promised. The require
ments are recognized as embracing
ascheme acceptable to biologists
and OF practical aid to the miner,
and it is along these lines that pres
ent advance is being made.-Mining

CHRIST ENTERING JERUSALEM, BY GUsTAvE DoRE.

Unto the house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens" In this spirit
ual body He manifested himself to- His
disciples.
I do not affirm that this interpreted
ton of the resurrection of Jesus solves
all the difficulties in the Scripture rec
ord or in our thought of this mystery.
Those difficulties in the Scripture rec
ord are not to be completely solved.
Amy Interpretation of the resurrection
of Jesus leaves more or less confusion
in the narratives of this fact. Plainly,
it was not the design of Providence to
give us a thorough, harmonious ac-
count of this august experience. But
the view which l hav suggested min
mixes these difficulties in the records
and thus aids our acceptance of the
fact.
Nor is our thought of such a tran
scendent mystery to be wholly cleared
now. In u present stage of devel-
opment it is perhaps impossible to form
a worthy conception of a life so much
beyond our ken. ut doth NOT yet APP
pear what we shall be-" Until it doth
appear we must be content with the
most reasonable conception which WE
cam form of hat nobler life. And such
seems to me to be this thought which
I ave suggested.

twelve hours down to ten and from ten
to eight or nine the gain for the worker
is great. The burden is lightened and
there is Just so much more opportunity
for the growth of the brain.
l like it that there has been such an
enlargement of the system of arbitra-
of our large cities on a large scale in
the building trades, and we have seen
more than fifty labor disputes settled
by it within the past twelvemonth. 1t
is an interesting fact that henev
workmel have trouble with their emf
ployers they are nearly always ready
to submit their case to arbitration.
I don't object to a strike when rea-
son fails, but the more reason the bet
ter. if the right wins.
I like it that so many people who do
not work for wages are manifesting
their sympathy and fraternity with
those who do. This helps things along
wonderfully. All honest mem hould
unite against the and lave
drivers.
l like it hat some few corporations
have adopted a pension system for
their hands" Let us see how it works.
l like it that Carnegie is devoting Sc
much of his ~"unearned increment" and
so many of his millions to the promo
ton of science, popular education, art

THE VIRGIN, FROM A PAINTING.
the sacred shrine of the indwelling di-
vinity. So l leave the mystery where
the Gospel leaves it.
If the physical resurrection of Jesus
be the accepted thought, then 81 second
marvel is needed. 1t is no novelty of
opinion. this, on my part. 1t Is the
opinion of many years. l remember
when a young man l argued with my
venerable father on this point. He held
ject. l said to him: Father, if Jesus
rose from the sepulchre in the outer
and fleshly body in which He lived on
the earth, did He ascend into the high
err realms in that same body?' He an
swered, No 'Then," l replied, "ere
He assembled a second change was
wrought by which He passed out of the
physical into a spiritual body?" To
which my father aid, Yes" I felt at
the time of this conversation, as l feel
now, that such a view necessitates two
marvels where one is sufficient. Why
should we burden faith with a redupli-
cate mystery?
This / hold to be vital to the faith of
the church: That we believe the story
of the resurrection to be the record OF
an actual fact; thai the church was
not under an hallucination when it be-
lieved hat "He showed Himself alive
to them after His passion by many in
fallible proofs"
What, then, was the resurrection OF
Jesus? You will have anticipated my
, answer to this question. 1t was the
manifestation of Himself in what Pau
called His spiritual body The spirit
passed out Of the earthly tabernacle
