LIKE RATS in TRAP
MINERS ARE SLAIN
Three Car Loads of Dyna-
mite Explode in Utah
Silver Mines and Prob
ably 100 Killed.

PARK CITY, Utah, July 16.-Two pow
der magazines at the 1.2O0-foot level of the
Daly-West mine exploded about o'clock
this morning, causing a loss of life that
at present cannot be estimated nor even
guessed at
At o'clock twenty-seven men had been
taken out of the mine dead and several
others had been recovered IN half dazed
condition
These were all brought out by the Onta-
rio mine shaft. which Is a mile distant
from the Daly-West, in which the explo-
sion occurred.
The l,20O-foot level of the DaIy-West
corresponds to and is connected by tunnel
with the 6OO-foot level Of the Ontario.
In the DAILY West mine between 100 and
$50 men were at work. In the Ontario
were nearly leo. it is believed.
1t Is not known how many of these are
dead, but the disaster extends to the
Ontario, as the noxious gases that have
been freed are known to be the cause Of
several of the deaths. The presence Of
those gases leads many miners to believe
that the powder was burned and that the
explosion was not the chief cause of the
! disaster.
There are two powder magazines at the
1.2OO-foot level of the Daly-West, one at
each side OF the shaft, with capacity of
from one to two cars of POWDER each.
L
within the past few days.
Three dead men have been taken out OF
the Ontario shaft. They are:
GEORGE GARVIN.
- SWIBEL, employees Of Edward
copp. who has the ore handling contract
for the DAILY West, and
- SODRUP, a miner employed in the
Ontario. who was working at least a mile
from the magazine that exploded.
II is believed all were suffocated.
The explosion occurred at an hour when
every person in town was either asleep or
at work. The shock was so tremendous
that 1t awakened every one within a ra-
dius Of miles. AS an example Of its awful
force, Il Is said that two horses In the Ore
gon tunnel, one and a half miles away,
were killed by 1t.
Women and children are thronging to
the Ontario shafthouse, which is midway
between Park City and the Daly-West.
Nearly all OF them have husbands or
fathers in the mines and their grief Is
pitiable
All Of the doctors In town are at the
mines. They are doing what they can to
resuscitate the unconscious men as they
are taken out but II Is difficult 10 obtain
information down town, as the teiephone
at the mine has failed.
Members Of a relief party who went into
the Ontario mine shortly after the explo-
SAOu OSSuAASu A@NC AON - 1880 -
fears are entertained for their safety.
A telephone message from Park City
at 10 O'Clock says that 50 bodies have been
recovered from the two mines.
Offlcers Of the Daly-West state that on
" three more bodies are IN the mine.
Miners, however, assert that there are II
or IS still unaccounted for. The fumes
from the explosion were over-powertng
and caused most the the deaths.
