Number of Dead in Tercio Mine Still
Unknown

Trinidad, Colo, Oct. SL-Eighteen
collins We're shipped to Tercio today ON
an order of the Rocky Mountain Coal
d Iron company for the burial Of the
victims Of the explosion which occurred
last Friday. TIE bodies have not yet
been recovered, but locaAchicials of the
company who have canNassed the town
now claim that only eighteen men were
IN the mine at the time of the eXplC-
sion. It is conceded that none Of these
will be found alive.
The wide discrepancy between the
list Of dead given out by the company
today, which comprises nineteen
names, including the mule driver who
was killed at the mouth of the tunnel,
and the forty-nine made by the cor
oner, is explained by the fact that rig
gers enter the mines without report
ing TO the shift bosses. The exact num-
her of victims win not be asccrtained
until the mine has been thoroughly ex-
plOred and many days may elapse be-
fore all the bodies are recovered.
