MANY DEAD IN NINE
Nineteen Bodies Recovered AftsR
Explosion In Pocahontas
Wa.) coIliery.
FORTY MORE MINERS BURIED
Rescue Work Retarded by Destruction
of Shafts ventiatins Apparatus.
Cause Of Disaster Not known--Lifs
Saving Leader Has Marrow Escape,
Two Of His Followers Dying.

Pocahontas, Va, Oct. 5. Nineteen
known dead and forty more men en-
tembed and doubtless all dead is the
situation so far as known in the West
Fork mines of the P6eahontas Collier
les company, where the explosion oe-
cured. The nineteen bodies were re-
covered from the mines as the result Of
the heroic work of thirty-fve men who
are working night and day The work
J Of rescue is very slow, as the condi-
tions confronting the party are ditacult
to surmeunt
The authorities anticipated the fear
ful extent of the casualties by ordering
carload of coffins and burial supplies.
At least forty coffins reached Poea-
hontas, consigned to the Pocahontas
Galleries company AS the company
maintains an undertaking establish
ment and carries full line of collins,
this is taken to indicate that the COM
pany expects the death list win exceed
half hundred
Reseuer's Narrow Escape.
William Leckie, superintendent Of
the mine, who went with the rescuing
party had narrow escape from death.
He was overcome by the fumes and
had to be carried out. Two rescuers
have lost their lives.
The rescuing party is nearing that
point in the mine where the explosion
took place.
The company officials are unable TO
determine how many men are caught
but the number is estimated at from
thirty to fifty.
Many of the victims are negroes and
Hungarians, but large number Of cit
liens of Pocaho9tas were killed, leav-
ing widows and orphans The entire
town is In grief. A large force of men
has been at work on the little ceme-
terry on the hillside adjacent to the
town digging graves for the unforsu-
nate victims.
Mines Ventilation Gone.
The work Of rescue was retarded by
dangers that beset fhe rescuers on ac-
count Of the ventilation of the mines
having been entirely destroyed in tile
section as the result of the terrific
force Of the explosion. This condition
was met by temporary brattices. These
carried the air into the mines and dis
placed the deadly after damp that had
already been fatal to two of the rescu-
ing forces.
The Pocahontas Collieries company
is the largest Of the operators in the
fat top coal field. They employ about
1900 men. The damage to the compa-
ny cannot at this time be estimated.
but it is very heavy. Pipe lines were de-
stroyed, mine locomotives wrecked ane
debris and wreckage heaped in shape
less mass all around 1t will be some
time before operations can be resumed
In this mine.
The cause Of the explosion cannot be
definitely aseertained as yet, but it is
thought to be due to a gas explosion
followed by after damp. The mines
were considered the safest and best
ventilated in this section.

SAVED BABY
 LYONS LIFE
Untold Suffering and Constant Misery-AwfuI Sight From that Dreadful Complaint, lnfantiIe Ec- zema-Commenced at Top of his
 Head and Covered Entire Body.
MOTHER PRAISES
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Our baby had that dreadful com- plaint, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted him for several months, commencing at the top of his head, and at last covering his whole body. His sufferings were untold and constant misery, in fact, there was nothing we would not have done to have given him relief. The family doctor seemed to be wholly incapable of coping with the case, and after various experiments of his, which resulted in no benefit to the child, we sent to Mazon, H., to druggist and got a full set of the Cuticura Remedies and applied as per directions, and he began to improve immediately, and in about three or four days began to show brighter spirit and really laughed, for the first time in year. In about ninety days he was fully recovered, with the exception of rough skin, which IS gradually disappearing, and eventually will be replaced by healthy one.
 "Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has always been our greatest pleasure, and there is nothing too good that we could say in their favor, for they cer- tainly saved our baby's life, for he was the most awful sight that ever beheld, prior to the treatment of the Cuticura Remedies.
