II Is Feared That They Cannot hs
Rescued Alive.
HEROIC EFFORTS TO SAVE LIFE.
The Terrible Disaster in the Alabama
Coal Mine Was Caused by a Cave
In, the Result Of Rotten Tim
bers.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 22.--By an
explosion in the Virginia mine, about
| is miles southwest Of Birmingham, at
miners are entombed and 1t Is be-
4 o'clock this afternoon, union
l;eyed that the entire number suf-
fered an awful death. Scores Of
vigorous rescuers are at work digging
into the mine to relieve their friends
and comrades on the inside.
The explosion is believed to have
been caused by an accumulation Of
dust. 1t is also believed that as the
entire quota has probably been kill:
ed the details Of the cause Of the dis
aster will never be known.
The camp Is almost isolated from
the rest of the world, as there is no
telephone station at Virginia and the
only wire running to the place is a
dispatcher's wire Of the Birmingham
Mineral railway, on which Virginia Is
located. Details of the disaster were.
slow to come IN.
Talhecss of miners employed was
the best in the district and all be-
longed to the United Mine Workers
of America. Since the strike has
been on in the Birmingham district
many of the most Industrious and
thrifty miners Of Pratt City and 9TH
er important mining points have re-
moved to the Virginia mines, so that
the mines were being worked to their
full capacity by the most skilled min
ers in the community.
Relief trains with surgeons and
workmen were dispatched from both
and Bessemer as soon as
he news of the disaster was learned.
They began the work of succor in
earnest before s o'clock and at mid
light had not dug half way through
he mass of debris.
1t is thought 1t will be 10 o'clock
omorrow before the interior Of the
lope is reached.
The slopes are well arranged, and
here has never been the least trouble
4 the mines before. They are own
d by the Alabama Steel and Wire
ompany, but are leased and operat-
d by Reid & Company!
President Edward Flynn Of the Ala
anna United Mine Workers and Ma
