DISASTER
Al Rush Run and Red Ash Mines Grows
Greater Fourteen Men Killed Who
Attempted the Rescue OF the
Already EntOmbed Miners.

Charleston, w. Va, March 70
As the result OF the horrible explo
sion in the Rush Run aud Red Ash
mines near Thurmond Saturday
night - men now lie in death
in the two mines. Ten of these
were killed in the explosion Satur-
day night and the other "a were
rescuing party who entered the
mine Sunday morning to take from
the mines the charred and blacken-
ed remains Of their fellow workmen.
These latter were killed by sec.
ond explosion and The after damp.
The first explosion seemed to shake
the foundations OF the mountains
and the angry twin flash from the
two neighboring drift mouths light.
ed up the heavens for miles around.
Soon from the mining villages
for several miles up and down the
river hundreds of people rushed to
the scene of the dreadful disaster.
The first explosion was caused by a
naked flame coming in contact with
the gas. The great drum, by which
the loaded cars are run from the
drift mouth down the incline to the
tipple and the empties drawn up,
was blown from its moorings and
went down the mountainside
600 feet, while the drum house
caught fire and was totally con-
sumed.
The cars that stood at the mouth
OF the mine were blown far down
towards the tipple, and much OF the
track OF the incline was destroyed,
the rails twisted and the cross ties
whipped from their beds in the bal
last and sent scorched and charred
many yards away. The big fan
that furnished air in the mine was
so damaged that it was several
hours before it could be started
again.
After considerable time the
great fan was repaired and the
power turned on, and i, began draw
ing 90, 900 cubic fee, Of air through
the charnel house each minute. A
rescue party was formed and about
20 men entered the mine in search
of the bodies of those who had per
lshed in the first explosion. The
men explored the nine for two or
three hours, putting mp brattices so
that pure aif shouG follow them
wherever they went Finally some
of them came out and reported that
the others were too careless in go
ing forward faster than the good air
was being supplied, carrying at the
same time naked light. At 3:4s
this morning another awful explo-
sion occurred, caused by the gas
coming in contact with the naked
fame of miners lamp, and four
teen more souls were launched into
eternity This explosion was not
so forcible as the former, but was
more awful in its effects, aud was
followed by a shorter thinned tom
que of fame, followed by silence
so deadly tina! it seemed I physically
painful and the darkness lmpenet-
rable.
