THIRTY MEN ENTOMBED
EFFORTS TO RESCUE THEM HAVE so
FAR PROVED FRUITLEsS.
Colliery Is Burning and There Is Fear
the Miners May BE SuffOcated Be-
fore Aid Reaches Them.

PORT ROYAL, Pa, June 10-The Pitts
burg Coal and Coke Company shaft No .. at
this place, is again on fire, after steady
running for seven years, and over thirty
men are in the mines. many of whom, it is
feared, will never be heard from again.
Following is a partial list Of those in the
burning mine
JOCK PEOPLES, married.
TONY STICKLES, married.
FRANK DAVENPORT, married.
- DAILY.
WILLIAM MCuNE. superintendent of
the district
DENNIS WoRTLEY. pit boss.
MICHAEL ROY, foreman of the Euclid
mines.
About twenty other miners.
About o'clock smoke was to be is
suing from shaft No. 2. which is on the line
of the Pittsburg & Lake Erie Railroad. 1t
is thought the fire started from an explo-
sion and that six men were in the mine at
the time-Jock Peoples. Tony Stickles
Frank Davenport, Daily, Lawrence Settler
and John Stakes. Stakes and Settler were
not near the place in which the explosion
occurred, and upon the arrival of a rescue
party they were quickly brought to the sur
face, after being neary overcome by after
damp. They could give no information as
to what had caused the fire. and told the
rescue party that four other men were en-
tombed.
About o'clock Superintendent William
McCune, of West Newton, general superin-
tendent of this district, Dennis Wortley,
pit boss of the mine. Michael Roy. foreman
Of the Euclid mines. and several other
bosses with about twenty men, went down
shaft No. l. which is just opposite. on the
Baltimore & Ohio side of the river, and
have not been heard from since. About
three hours after the rescue party entered
the mine two more explosions were heard.
Meantime the crowd around the opening of
the shaft, including many mothers, wives
and sisters of the men cntOmDed, had in
creased. All sorts of plans have been sug-
gested for the rescue of the men. Some
talk of turning the river into the mines,
but many are opposed 10 this idea for fear
of drowning the miners. All that would be
necessary would be to pull a plug, which
was placed in the mines after the explosion
of seven years ago, and the water would
rush into the mines at rapid rate. DAILY.
one OF the men known 10 be In the burning
mine, went in for the first time this morn
ing. and IL is not known where he is from.
At IL o'clock tonight four men volunteered
to go down shafts Nos and and one
man down No ]. but up TO this time IL is
not known whether they have succeeded in
making any rescues. Gas and smoke are
issuing from the mines at midnight. and
over two hundred men, women and children
are waiting for some news or relatives.
Doctors have been called and assistance is
being offered on every side.
At 3 o'clock this morning heavy volumes
of smoke are still issuing from the mine
and hopes of saving any of the entombed
miners or rescuers is fast disappearing.
