Fnghtful Subteranean Explosion Entombs
Men BY The Hundreds Far From
Hope of Rescue
Worst Disaster In History Of European
Continental Mining
Eight Days Work Among Gas-Surounded
Victims And Light Of Day

Here are huddled small hamlets of
mine workers who operate the most
productive coal mines in France. Sub
terannean chambers form a series of
tunnels. Six of the outlets arr.
near Lens and the others are at
Courrieres, Verdum and many other
points. About 1000 miners work
the group of mines, and with their
families, make population of 5000
to 5000 souls.
Flames Follow Explosion.
The catastrophe took place short
ly after 1,795 men had descended in
to the mine. Saturday morning There
was a deafening explosion followed
by cages and mining apparatus being
hurled from the mouth of the Cour-
rieres mine. Men and horses near
by the outside of the mine were eth
ed stunned or killed. Immediately
following the explosion flames burst
from the mouth of the pit driving
back those without who sought to
enter and booming those within.
The populace of the district is ap-
palled by the disaster, which affects
every household. Those persons
who were rescued were terribly
burned. The latest estimates place
those taken out at sol.
Last Hope Removed.
Throughout the afternoon heroic
efforts at rescue were continued, but
nightfall brought the conviction that
the entombed men had been suffocat-
ed and dispatch from Lille at S:45
p. m, announcing the number OF
dead at 1,193, appears to remove the
last hope that others may be brought
to the surface alive
Caused by Escaping Gas.
The chief engineer of the depart.
ment of Pas-de-C alias, NJ. Leon, says
that fire broke out in the pit Monday
afternoon and that the engineers
COPIED with it as best they were able,
but Friday, being unable to master
it, they closed all the outlets. Fis-
sures, he thinks, must have formed,
which permitted gases to escape, and
these becoming ignited resulted in
the explosion.
In Hearing, but Eight Days Distant.
One of the engineers of the mine
said the cage was unable to descend
more than $50 metres, while the gal
lery where the miners are entombed
is 500 metres farther down. Rescu-
ers who descended in this cage re-
port having heard distinctly impris-
oned men tapping ON water pipes, hut
the hope rekind1ed by this statement
was extinguished by Leon who esti-
mated that it would take eight days
to dislodge the debris in the shafts
and that meanwhile the miners
would die, either from starvation or
asphyxiation. Up to the present
time $50 bodies have been taken from
the pits 10 and II, all having been
asphyxiated
