ANOTHER MINE DISASTER
Probably Thirty Lives Lost-Seven
teen Bodies Recovered

Telluride, Colo, November 20.-By
the Smuggler-Union Mining Company.
probably thirty lives were lost today.
Seventeen bodies have been recovered.
The fire. which is known to have been
accidental. started early this morning
in the buildings at the mouth of the
tunnel. At this point is located the up
per terminal of the tramway to the
company's new mill at Pandora, and
it was in the bunk house attached that
the fire started. From this it spread to
the terminal station which, with it's ore
bins, machinery and supplies, is mass
of ruins
The day shift of 200 men had entered
the mine and reached their stations
when the fire broke out.
The tunnel acted as a f1ue, and a
great volume of smoke poured in and
filled the slopes. About 10 of the men
succeeded in reaching safety by a near
exit. The fire rapidly burned itself out,
but the mine was so filled with smoke
that it was six hours before rescuing
parties could penetrate the slopes where
the less fortunate were. Seventeen
dead have been removed from the mine
tonight. The engineer, Hugh ]. O'Neill,
was found alive. but is not expected to
recover. No list of dead is obtainable
at this time.
Just as soon as the men became
aware of their danger, efforts were
made to reach the surface through, va
rious exits and about half of those in
the mine escaped. 1t will be impossible
to ascertain the number still in the mine
for several hours, on account of the gas
in some of the levels.
Seventeen of the twenty-five bodies
found were on the seventh level. Be-
tween IS and 100 men are working on
the ninth level and this has not yet
been explored. On account of the
grades and smoke. these levels could
not be entered because of the danger
of suffocation for twelve hours after the
flames started

BY THE COLLISION OF TWO TRANS
CONTINENTAL FLYERS.
THEY MEET AT FULL SPEED
The Three Engines Crushed and Blown
to Pfeces-Heavy Vestibule Passen-
ger Coaches Stand the Shock-Several
of Them Burned-The Dining and
Baggage Cars Forced Upon the
Debris os the Epgines-Men Burned
and Scalded to Death

Los Angeles, Cal, November 20-A
fatal wreck occurred on the Santa Fe
railroad one mile west of F'ranconia,
Arizona, a switch station twenty miles
east Of Needles, Cal, early today.
Seven train men were killed, and three
passengers and fourteen train men in
jured. Limited trains. east and west
bound crashed together while running
at full speed. The east bound train
was drawn by two engines, while the
westbound train had but one locomo-
tive.
The three engines were crushed and
blown to pieces by an explosion, which
followed the collision. Both trains were
made up Of vestibule cars Of the heav-
lest kind and while they stood the ter
rife shock well and protected the pas
sengers to a great extent, several Of the
cars took fire ut once and burned up.
The dinning cars, one on each train,
one Pullman and two composite cars
were destroyed.
The collision is said to have been due
to disregard Of orders by the crew of
the westbound train, though full par
ticulars on this point are as yet lack
ing. From all accounts, however, it is
gathered that the eastbound train had
orders to take the siding at Franconia
and await the passing of the west
bound flyer, which was running two
hours late and trying to make UP time
The eastbound failed to reach the sid
ing, and, as the westbound train did
of for fIn inc.
gether without warning and with an
awful crash. The boiler of the west
bound engine is said to have exploded
Immediately after the crash, scalding 90
death those of the engine crews who
had not been killed outright.
A scene of awful confusion followed
the crash. The massive engines piled
up in an indescribable mass OF proRen
and twisted steel, while the sc1lding
steam hung in dense, Suffocating cloud
over the debris, from which the agon-
izing cries of the injured and dying en-
ginemen could be heard. The heavy
Pullman and composite cars jamme6
the dining and baggage cars upon the
heated pile of debris, carrying death tc
| the dining car crews and setting the
cars on fire.
From the meagre details of the scenes
gathered from the passengers, it is
| learned that the sleeping cars, with
| one or two exceptions, suffered slightly
| and as q result the passengers were
| afforded comparative immunity from
| injury.
So far as learned, only three passen.
| gers, all from California, suffered in.
| juries of a severe character, the terri
| BILE results of the wreck being confined
| almost entirely to the train crews an(
| the employees of the dining car service
| The westbound limited carried q full
| passenger list from eastern cities, ou
