burned and mutilated, some of them al
most beyond recognition. Fire, which
at first was feared would prove destruc-

and this added terror to the spectacle.
The flames were finally controlled, and
after several of the rescue party had
succumbed to the fumes all the dead
were found and carried to the ton of
the shaft.
Hundred Men in Mine.

than 100 men were in the mines, but all
except those in the East entry escaped
with slight injury.
