FORTY MINERS ARE ENToMBED.
Terrific Explosion Of Gas Wrecks lei
ter's Mine at ZeiuIer.

ter's Mine at Zeigler.
Benton, H., April "a terrific *
plosion of gas entombed forty miners
yesterday in Joseph Letters mine at
Zeigler. At Midnight the dead WAS
estimated at "a. wounded 5. Up to
that hour Is dead bodies had been
taken out. Besides these bodies 3
were removed alive. but with fatal in
%juries.
The explosion it is supposed was
due to the fact that the Letter mines
are not worked on Sunday, thus allow
ing gas to accumulate in the lower
workings.
When forty miners had descended
into the mine yesterday to resume
work, an explosion blew the mouth
Of the mine high into the air. One
Of the steel cages was blown to the
surface from the bottom of a 500-foot
shaft. The
Shock of the Explosion
was felt at Benton, twelve miles north
along a road half a mile from the mine
was covered with falling cinders, and
debris covered the floor of his wagon
an inch deep.
One miner was killed and four e.
seriously injured at the mouth of the
shaft in which the explosion occurred.
The work of rescue was begun at
once by miners who were arriving
when the explosion took place. but
the mine shaft was demolished so
that rescue work has to be carried on
through the air shaft.
Rescue Work Is Difficult.
The rescue party finds it difficult to
work in the mine owing to the absence
of a proper fan to purify the mine air.
All the bodies found, except two, snow
ne marks Of injury, indicating death
by asphyXiation. All but four of those
found worked in the shaft by number,
and their names have not yet been Sc
cured. The bodies are so blackened
that identification is difficult.
There was much excitement among
miners when the accident became
known. because there had been a
strike of long duration, and many con
fliCts had occurred between strikers
and non-union niners.
Rescuers Are Overcome.
In the effort to recover the en-
tombed mel five rtscuers were sOver-
come by ~after-damp. All the searchers
for the men below were let down by
hand.
Among the dead is a Workmen en-
ployed in the tipple forty feet above
ground. Three others zeal him were
fatally wounded.
1t transpires that there were two ex-
plosions close together. The first ex-
plosion took place in the air shaft and
was followed by a much greater up
heaval in the main shaft.
