Of Wyoming Mining
Horror Confirmed
OVER TWO HUNDRED ARE DEAD
The Explosion Caused by Fire Damp
on the Seventeenth Level
Work of Rescue.

Hanna, Wyo., July 1.-The first es-
Inmates of the number of fatalities in
the mine disaster were correct. The
officials have abandoned the hope of
rescuing the entOmbed miners alive.
Two hundred and eighty men went
into the mines yesterday of which
only forty eight are accounted for.
No bodies have been removed since
yesterday afternoon, but rapid pro
gress is being made and other victims
will be brought up today.
superintendent Clark of the Union
Pacific Coal company arrived here
this morning and took personal charge
Of the work. During the night res
cuers reached the 18th level and by
noon they penetrated the 17th level
and they are now entering where il
is expected large numbers of dead
bodies will be found. The miners are
now confident that the explosion took
place on the 17th level from the fact
that the slopes that enter it are beng
found more choked as the work pro
crosses. 1t has been decided that the
explosion was caused by fire damp
which which gathered in a small alley
off the 17th level where ventilation
was defective from an unknown cause
and a miner unaware of the danger
went in with his lighted lamp.
An imprOvised hospital has been To-
Gated near the shafts mouth and 9
morgue has been arranged. 1t is
likely there will be little use for the
former A large corps of surgeons
and nurses are awaiting around the
mouth of the shaft
The disaster is the worst that ever
occurred in Wyoming and one Of tht
worst in he entire West. The condi
