 The explosion occurred at noon and was what is known as dust explosion. The miners had just fired their usual shots, one of which proved to be iizzle. The burning powder ignited the gas and the explosion followed.
 Smoke and debris were blown out of the shaft 200 feet high. Part of the top- works was torn away and the fans and cages were partially wrecked.
 This made the work of rescue very slow and it was o'clock before volunteer parties dared to venture into the east en- trance where the explosion. occurred. When they fought their way in horri- ble sight greeted them. The dead and in- jured were terribly burned and mutilated. some of them almost beyond recognition.
 Fire had broken out and this added ter TOT to the spectacle. The sfiames were finaifS controlled and after several of the rescue party had suceumbed to the fumes all the dead were found and carried to the top of the shaft
 It was nearly o'clock this evening when the last of the dead was taken out and scenes of anguish among the families of the men were pitiful.
 Nearly all of the men were married anl leave families in poor circumstances.

that their home might be nicely fur
