Trinidad, Colo, Oct. 31.-The latest
estimate of the number of dead as a
Mountain Fuel and Iron company's
mine at Teroio is forty-nine. No bodies
have been recovered.
Trinidad, Colo, Oct. 29.-At least
twenty-one miners, all but two of
whom were Slavs or Mexicans, were
killed In a terrific explosion in mine
No. 3 of the Rocky Mountain Fuel and
Iron company at Teroio.
Following the explosion the mine
took fire and deadly fumes not only
made death certain for the men en-.
tombed In the mine but prevented
rescuers and fire fighters from accom-
plishing anything. The flames are
still raging and many OF the bodies
may be cremated, thus making 1t i'm.
possible to ascertain exactly the mum.
Der Of victims.
The explosion, which ID supposed to
have been caused by dust, was SO ter
rife that the country for nearly q mile
about wss shaken. Smoke, dust and
debris were forced out Of the shafts
like q volcano for nearly q minute.
One body has been recovered, that
Of T. Duran. q driver. who was just
entering the tunnel when the explosion
occurred. He was torn and burned
almost beyond recognition.
Say slxty-eIoht Are Missing.
The mine company's oficials have
no record of the number of men work
ing at the time of the accident, though
it is known that only twenty-one men
went down iuto the mine In the morn
ing. According to reports which have
not been verified many more men
went into the mine in the afternoon.
IL is regarded as certain that none OF
those who were In the mine when the
explosion occurred are now alive.
Miners assert that sixty-eight men are
missing.
The mine Is a sloping tunnel, over
1000 feet long. Rescuers entered the
slope as lar as room Is, which is 200
feet from the mouth of the tunnel.
They succeeded In reaching this point
only after most dangerous work and
after crawling through many narrow
places. At this point they encoun-
tered a solid wall Of rock that had
fallen from above and closed the pas
sage. Room rs. where most OF the
miners are supposed to have been
working is GOO feet from the mouth Of
the tunnel, or 400 feet beyond the
point to which the rescuers penetrated.
