Victims of Jacobs
Greek Horror
Total 200
FIRE IS ExT|NGU|SHED
Rescuers Exploring Various
Slopes in Hope of Find
ing Some Alive.

Jacobs Creek, Pa, Dec 20.-Of 200
or more miners who were made prison
ers in the Darr coal mine by terrific
explosion yesterday noon, the bodies
of thirty this morning lay in the main
entry where they We're placed by res
cuers during last night.
A faint hope that some OF the men
are still alive in the mine, has caused
the rescuers to press forward with re-
newed efforts to explore each passage
instead of bringing the bodies to the
surface Immediately. The fire is nov
out and the fans are working so 1t is
believed that it will be only a few
hours before the mine Is thoroughly
explored, although the rescuers re
port that the interior of the mine is
badly wrecked in places and that It is
necessary to constantly stop to rebuild
bracing which was blown out of place
The exact number of men In the
mine at the time of the explosion Is
still uncertain, but most reliable esti-
mates place the total number at 200.
The cause OF the explosion Is still un.
known. No cause has been advanced
except that 1t was due to gas.
