MINERS MEET DEATH.
Fatal Results of Fire and Explosion
in IA Virginia Collicry-
Many Injured.

Elueficld, w. Va, Nov. Is. - Five
dead bodies have been taken from
the Baby mine at pocahontas, Va.
Several other persons are unaccount-
ed for and % persons have been res
cucd more or less severely burned.
AT three o'clock Thursday morning
it was discovered that the Baby mine
of the Pocahon;as Collirry company,
at PocohontaS, Va, was on fire. An
alarm was sent in and the fire COM
panN responded promptly. In very
short time after the fire fighters had
reached the mouth of the mines and
were attempting to cNtinguish the
flames, some of the tircmcn and 9TH
crs having rushed inside the mines
to ascertain the extent of the trouble
and to assist miners entombcd there
in. terrific explosion occurred, and
many miners and their friends were
more or less injured. 1t is supposed
that the mines caught fire from a
defective electric light wire.
The list of the dead so far rccov-
cred are: Louis Woolwinc, John
Bcrnhart, Will Montgomery, NJ. d.
koontz and Hungarian named
urico. Woolwinc. Montgomery and
koontz were killed while attempting
to reach and bring out II dead body.
At this time it is impossible to secure
the names of those injured. AS yet
it is impossible to estimate the
amount Of damage to the mines.

Cubn's Dormant Wealth,

Gov. Gen. Wood of Cuba says that
Puerto Principe is a good cattle coun-
try. There is also much fine timber
standing in its southern part, and
much entirely undeveloped wealth in
the way of copper and iron ores. AS
phnlt is nmo Their source of riches in
this province. Much of this asphalt
is so fine that it is used not for paw
ing but for the manufacture of var.
nishcs. The asphalt has not yet been
tried for paving, but will be in Ha-
vana. Tremendous deposits of as.
phnlt, indeed, exist in many parts of
the island, and there are probably
many which Illnvc mot been discov-
cred. There are parts of Cuba, small
as the island is, which have not even
been prospcctcd.

that there is hardly salve in the
