Paris, March 1.-THE worst fears
as to the enormity of the mine disas-
ter in the Courrieres district of the
Pas-de-C Calais Saturday have been
realized. The death list numbers 100
and the whole of the region stands ap-
palled at the terrible tragedy, which
has brought sorrow to 5000 fathers,
mothers, wives and children.
The last great mine disaster in
France occurred in 1885, when 293 per-
sons were killed and 80 injured; but
that and all others sink into insight
canoe before Courrieres. The vast
mortuary camp is under military
guard, 400 soldiers having arrived to
assist in holding in check the crowds
of distracted .mourners. For time
hope had been held out to the people
that tappings on pipes by the impris-
oned men had been heard, but gradu-
ally this hope vanished and the peo-
pie demanded admission to see the
bodies, and even threatened to break
through the Gordon of troops, who had
the greatest difficulty in keeping the
crowds from the pit.
French Officers Direct Rescue.
Minister OF Public Works Gauthier,
Minister of the Interior Dubief and the
secretary of President Fallieres remain
on the ground endeavoring to comfort
the distressed families of. the miners.
President Fallieres has given $4,000 to
aid in relief measures. The ministry
will add a further sum to this, and
the chamber of deputies will be asked
to vote 100000 for the purpose of al
leviating distress.
Ministers Gauthier and Dubief Sun
day received complete details of the
catastrophe from M. Lavaurs, the di-
rector of the mine.
"Of 1900 miners who were down in
the pits when the explosion occurred" !"
he said, 1913 were working in pit No.
4; 482 were in pit No. 3; 571 in pit
No. 2, and the remainder in pit No. 10.
Those rescued were taken out as
follows:
From pit No. 4, 100; from pit No. 8,
fifteen escaped through pit No. IL;
400 came up from pit No. 2, and "a
from pit No. 10. A number Of these
were injured, and some of them have
over 1000 men remain imprisoned"
Mine Building Morgue.
For the time being the mine building
has been transformed into mortuary
chamber and all about in it lie the
carbonized and almost unrecognizable
bodies of miners which were taken
there as they were brought up from
the mine. Stricken relatives arrive
at the mine building searching for
missing m embers of their families, and
indescribable scenes of grief occur as
women recognize the loved ones.
Heartrending scenes, too, are wit
messed about the mouth Of pit No. 4
