of twelve dead men have been re-
covered and it is not known at this
time whether any others met death
The Americans who were killed
Iare:
CHARLES BOSERMAN.

GLENN MILES.
The bodies of seven Italians have
also been recovered, but as they are
known only by numbers, their identity
is not possible until later.
The explosion occurred Just as the
day force was leaving the mine. Only
Ia few of the men had reached the
surface, when with a terrific explosion
the fire damp exploded. The mine
elevator had Just started for the top,
carrying about twenty men, and al
most eighty men were still at the bot
tom of the shaft.
There was only one direction in
which the men still in the mine could
run and this was back into the drift,
From this dry section, however, a
strong flow of gas was slowly envelop-
ing them Almost sufficated, they
huddled together and shouted UP the
shaft for rescue. Sevoray reseuers
ran the elevator down into the shaft.
There were Accommodations for about
twenty men at a time however, and
the foreign miners who were craZed
with fright. fought like maniaes to
board the car, greatly retarding the
work of rescue. The car was finally
loaded and run to the top. All of the
men at the bottom eventually We're
brought to the surface. on the last

ried from the car
The five Americans and seven Ttal-
ians who were killed were found
about 100 feet back in the mine APP
parently the twelve men had been
burned
At 10 O'Clock tonight a rescuing
party entered the mine to look for
bodies, but after reaching the bot
tom Of the shaft had to abandon the
search. The officials are endeavoring
to prepare a list of the men who es-
capped from the mine.
The mine was totally wrecked by
a cave-in which followed the explos-
ion
If any others have lost their lives
II may be many days before their
bodies are recovered owing to the ac-
emulation of dirt and stones block
aiding the mine passage.
The mine was opened a year ago
and has been in operation six months.
1t was equipped with new and mod
ern appliances and the direct cause
of the explosion Is not known.

an effort to capture the writers. While
they were still on guard the bomb was
