DEADLY BLACK DAME.
Explosion Evidently Caused by
Thoughtless Miner.

1nOuBnkleSS Mlu6I.
Hanna Wyo.. July Lit mas been de-
cided that the explosion was caused by
black damp which gathered in a small
alley off the seventeenth level, where
the circulation became defective from
some unknown cause. A miner went
in with his lamp. not knowing about
The existence of the deadly gas, and
ignited the explosive. Probably no
trace of the unlucky miner will ever
be found. for he was surely blown to
atoms.
William Christian. colored. is the
hero of the calamity. He was uncon-
scious when brought to the surface, but
could have made his way out himself
had he not remained behind to assist
his more unfortunate companions. He
was breaking down coal in a small
chamber off the entry when the explo-
sion occurred. He was knocked down
BY the conclusion. but was only daZed.
The mine was filled with a sheet of
fame for a minute. He ran TO the stope
and saw scores of miners lying on the
floors, many writhinR in the agony OF
the death struggle. while others had
been killed outright
Saved Many Lives.
Christian rushed down the stope to-
ward the rear shaft, but soon the gas
. burned out and the mine was in inky
darkness. He CROPPED about, falling
over the PROSTATE forms scattered
along the stOpe Some of these raised
up as he passed. They were able TO
talk and the plucky miner urged them
To follow him. A few did this and he
carried several to places of safety from
which they we're later removed 70 the
surface by the relief party. He is not
certain how many men he saved in this
manner but he believes he carried out
at least a dozen. Some Of the rescued
miners say he did even better than
this. He spent The night in the care Of

Mothers Wives Sweethearts and Children Weeping and WaIng
at the Mouth of the Pit

" ENVER. Colo July IA special
from Hanna. WyO.. says:
The startling information was
learned tonight from an experienced
miner and fre-nghter who penetrated
the mine to the sixteenth level that
the workings below the seventeenth
level are a mass OF flames. and where
n few hours ago it was believed the
rescuers would reach the bodies Of the
entombed miners not later than to-
morrow noon. it now appears the
flames viii add horror to the already
terrible calamity. and that the victims
Will be burned. The efforts Of those
working below the surface are now
confined to the work of walling up the
entries and slope and putting up fire
proof barriers which viii prevent the
flames from reaching the seventeenth
and other levels above.
Further Attempts Fruitless.
This is taken as an indication that
the rescUers realize the fruitlessness of
further attempts to reach the en-
t0mbed miners below the seventeenth
level
Added to the horrors of the fire,
which will doubtless destroy the ,un-
foreground workings. is the danger Of
another explosion. which may occur at
any time. The situation is decidedly
d grave and the citizens are becoming
alarmed for the safety Of those who
are working below the surface and also
those engaged in hauling away the
debris from the mouth of the slope.
Danger is Great.
II the entries i'm which the fire is
burning can be successfully walled and
the fire confined TO a few entries,

great danger of the flames breaking

ORDER FOR CoFFINs.
Preparations For Burial When the
Bodies Are Recovered.

Omaha, Neb., July Reports are re-
ceived at Union Pacific headquarters
this morning from Hanna. Wyo.. of the
progress of the rescue party in the
Hanna coal mine. The rescUers had
pentrated quite a distance into the
mine, but had recovered no more
bodies. The difficulty of securing en-
trance to the mine was increased by
smoke and gas, and it is now thought
that the matter of getting air into tine
mine is the only hope Of reScuing any
of the entombed men alive.
An order was received in Omaha for
$50 collins. which are being shipped to
Hanna. II was stated. however. that
this large number OF baskets was be-
ing shipped 20 be used in case of ne
cessity and that no demand has yet
arisen for so large an order.
