MINERS SUFFOCATED
Deadly Explosion In g. Vir-
ginia Mine.
FIFTEEN BEYOND REACH OF AID.
Disaster Caused by an Accumulation
Of Gas Catching Fire From Lamp
of IL Careless Miner Who
DisreSarded Orders,

ROANOKE, Va, Sept. 16.--A disas-
hous gas and powder explosion oc-
cured in the Big -Four mine of the
Algoma Coal and Coke company ut
North Fork. James Lester an engi-
neer; John Rookie. a Hungarian min
er, and fifteen colorcd miners are
known to be in the mine now, and
there Is no chance of their being re-
covered alive, as they are beyond the
point where the explosion occurred,
ana the gas and smoke are so thick
mat the rescuins parties are being
driven back.
II. II. Frankcnfcld, the bank boss,
ana George Gaspie, a Hungarian min
er, succeeded in crawling, over the fall
ell coal and slate to the lights of the
rescung party and have been taken
out alive, although they are both bad
ly burned and were nearly suffocatcd
by the gas and smoke inhaled.
The explosion was caused by an ac-
cumulation of gas catching fire from
the lamp of miner who was going to
work and this in turn firing six kegs Of
blasting powder that had been stored
III the mine. The explosion knocked
down all Of the brattices for quarter
OF mile back toward the mine en-
trance, thus preventing the air from
reaching the men imprisoned behind
the debris. There had been small gas
explosion in the mine on Sunday last
which burned two mine mules to death,
and Mine Superintendent A. !. Stew
art had personally cautioned the men
who worked in the mine not to at
tempt to work again until the air had
been tested by Il safety lamp, but they
disregarded his caution and went in.
A party headed by Mine Inspector
Cooper attempted Il rescue, but was
driven back by the want of air. 1t is
now learned that the coal is burning,
and there is no hope of cxtinsuishng
the fiames until a new air passage can |
De built to the Ioint of the explosion, |
Stewart has q large |
force of men at work now and will |
make second attempt to reach the
imprisoned men.
