blown from the mines mouth, insensi-
BILE to their surroundings. The most
frantic pushed to the edge ofthe gap
and tried to force a way into the slope.
An expert who went almost to the
seventeenth level says the mine cannot
possibly be cleared for a month. 1t is
feared that men in the lower levels
were torn to pieces by the explosion,
which hurled great timbers high over
the town and LOO feet beyond the
mouth of the slope. Among the dead is
Alfred Happgood, who turned the first
shovel of dirt in starting the slope. The
fire bosses, who had reported all safe be-
fore working time Tuesday, met death
whilem aking a second inspection.
No More Bodies Recovered.
Omaha, Neb., July, 2.-Reports were
received at Union Pacific headquarters
Wednesday morning from Hanna, Wyo.,
Of the progress of the rescue party in the
Hanna mines up to four a. m. They
state that the rescuers had penetrated
quite a distance into the mine, but had
recovered no more bodies. The difficulty
of securing an entrance to the mine was
slncreased by smoke and gas, and it is
now thought that the matter Of getting
air into the mine is the only hope of res-
cuing any of the entombed men alive.
An order was received in Omaha for $50
collins which are being shipped to Han
ma. 1t was stated, however, that this
large number Of caSkets were being
shipped to be used in case Of necessity
and that no demand has yet arisen for
SO large an order.
