DISASTER in COLORADO
AT LEAST THIRTEEN MINERS
KILLED BY AN EXPLOSION.
Eight Bodies Recovered and Others
Still EntOmbed-POwder House
Blown Up.

TRINIDAD. Col. Aug. IA disastrous
explosion occurred at $50 o'clock tonight
at No. mine at Bowen, a small camp
about ten miles north of this place. Thir-
teen lives are known to have been lost.
The exact number of men working on the
night shift and in the mine at the time
of the explosion is unknown. The known
dead are:
JAMES HUNTER, machine runner.
TILDEN WINFIELD, colored helper.
MIKE CASSIDY, blown to pieces.
JOE GORDON. colored driller
JOE SAUCHY, machine runner
THOMAS SIERRA.
FRANK GROAT.
WELLER ELLIOTT
The mine worked is worked by the Union
Coal Company of Denver. and is a slope
mine. situated on the mountain side and
about 400 yards from the tipple below. The
explosion occurred about 500 feet from the
mouth of the slope. and was caused by fire
damp.
Immediately after the night shift had
started in the slope, startling explosion
occurred. entirely filling the mouth of the
slope and shaking buildings and
breaking windows for a mile dis
tant. Owing to the mouth Of the slope
being filled the rescuers were delayed for
some time, but succeeded in reaching some
OF the men through an old slope and eight
dead bodies were quickly brought to the
surface The mine is filled with gas and
smoke, and the rescuers are afraid Of after
damp and unable TO stay in the mine more
than a short time. Mothers, wives and
children OF the dead and imprisoned miners
are almost crazed with grief, and the scene
presented at the mouth of the mine is a
most pathetic one.
The powder house in the mine, usually
containing 1000 pounds OF powder blew up
and il is this which caused such great
disaster. The general belief is that the
entire mine has been ruined, and if not II
will take months TO get ii in working order
again The rescuers are pushing forward
with all possible speed. and before many
hours the exact number of lives lost and
the total amount OF damage can be deter
mined.
