ELEVEN MET AWFUL DEATH
Coal Mine Disaster at Black Diamond
Wash.-SeveraI Injured,

wash several Injured
Black Diamond, Wash, Oct. e.
Eleven men were killed and three in
jured in mine explosion on the fourth
level at the Lawson mine, a mile from
this place, about nine O'Clock at
night. The men employed in the work
ings or shutes were instantly killed.
Two gangwaymen and a driver, work
ing farther in the level, or gang way,
evidently escaped the effect of the ex-
plosion and instinctively started toward
the slope for safety. The deadly after
damp swept down on them and they
succumed after not more than a few
minutes struggle against the fate their
experience as miners told them Law in
store for them.
Only the bodies Of the men in the
workings are burned, showing that the
sheet of flame which followed the ex-
plosiOn did not extend TO the slope.
though it is declared by some watchers
to have been seen from the air shafts
Those miners whose bodies were burned
were discovered lying in cramped
positions, their legs closely drawnssup
toward their bodies and their hands
clinched. Dust covered their faces so
they were unrecogniZable when first
taken from the mine. Their clothes
were torn and thickly coated by coal
dust. The other bodies were not dis
figured. No Four level in the Lawson
mine has not been opened long. An
auxiliary slope has been driven to this
level or gangwsy and a force of men
is at work extending the slope from
No. 5 level to the fourth gangway.
A small shute runs from the main slope
of the fourth level
The day Of the accident the second
shift went on duty at p. m. expect
ing TO work until IL. Fourteen men
were working on No. south and four
on No. north. Nineteen men had
been assigned to duty ON No. 8 level.
Prior to the entrance of the first shift
the mine had been inspected for gas
and before the second shift went on
duty the dust was sprinkled. OF the
fourteen men in the crew on No 4
south the three who were injured were
working in the main slope, Baker and
Whitsnell some distance inside the
shute and Carson at the gangway.
From some cause unknown at present
an explosion occurred beyond the work
ings and the force was spent outward
toward the auxiliry slope.
