Number Killed.
[By AssocIated Press. !

ELhiNS, Feb. 5-ReYised esd-
mates of the number of the dead in
the Thomas coal mine. including
those already found. place the dead
at nineteen. No more bodies have
been recovered. The search win be
continued throughout the night.
Rescuers In Peril.
Superintendent R. W. Jones was at
the mouth OF the mine at the time Of
the explosion. He quickly gathered
together a small rescuing party and
notwithstanding the fact that the
fans we're badly broken and stopped
running on account of the explosion.
and the cage broken, he lowered
himself and his party to the bottom
of the pit and Immediately began the
work of rescue.
One hundred feet 'front.' he bottom
OF the shaft superintendent Jones
and his party came upon the remains
of eight workmen. Seven of these
were unrecognizable foreigners and
the other was Jesse Allen, an Ameri-
can. The bodies were horribly
mutilated.
Fumes Are Deadly.
Immediately an attempt was made
to get the dead to the bottom OF the
shaft in order that the bodies might
be lifted tot he surface, but while
this wa sin progress, a huge wave of
deadly fumes occasioned by the ex-
plosion, spread through the mine and
it was with difficulty that Jones and
his party reached the top. Several
times there was a disposition on the
part of the rescuers to leave the bod
les because the fumes made all
deathly sick, but to this Jones re-
fused to consent. and he alone car
ried Aliens body to the surface.
Upon reaching the top of the shaft
Jones laid the dead body of the min
er in the hands of nearby men. He
was seen to stagger, and before help
could reach him he fell dead at the
top of the pit.
Fans Stop.
The cage was put out of commits
sion and the fans stopped by the ex.
plosion.
A large force of workmen was
gathered from other Davis mines in
this section, and work was immed-
lately started upon the repair Of the
fan and cage.
None Escaped.
The officials of the company would
not express an opinion as to the
cause of the explosion. As not a liy-
ing soul escaped from the accident,
no light on the cause can be secur-
ed. An official stated that a rigid
investigation would be commenced
and the matter probed to the bottom
This same official stated that house
to house canvass had been made in
the town which resulted in twenty
five men being reported missing from
home. They are likely dead in the
ill-fated mine.
