Mine ON FIRE
EXPLOSION CAUSES GREATEST
MINE DISASTER EVER KNOWN
IN SAAR REGION.
MANY MINERS DEAD
Six Hundred Men Were in the $500
Foot shaft-5rave Rescue Work
ers Boldly Enter and
Face Death.

Saarbrueck, Rhenish Prussia-A fire
damp explosion occurred in the REDEEM
coal mine at ST. Johann on-Saar. oppo.
site Saarbrueck. The mine is owned
by the Prussian government Only 90
live men have been brought out, and
OF these the doctors say at least 35
will die. as they are frightfully in
jured through having been hurled
against the walls of the galleries by
the force OF the explosion.
Brave Rescue Workers.
Immediately after the explosion res
cue workers were hurried from all the
adjacent mines and boldly entered the
Reden shaft in great numbers.
The work OF rescue has been great
ly hampered by the poisonous gases
resulting from the explosion and by
a fierce fire that broke out immediate
ly afterwards. This caused efforts az
rescue TO be suspended and the work
ers had 20 be ordered out of the mine.
Second Explosion.
After all the rescuers had reached
daylight. according to one version. a
second terrific explosion was heard
underground. But according TO an
other report. many of the rescuers
were still below when the second ex-
plosion occurred. and il is estimated
that the casualty list from the two ex-
plosions reaches a total of 800 men.
All Below Dead-Mine on Fire.
Ii is regarded as certain that the
lowest levels of the mines are com.
pletely wrecked. and the inspectors
are celebrating upon further meas
ures to get control of the fire. The
managers are discussing the advisa-
bility OF flooding these levels as the
only means OF extinguishing the
flames. IL is believed that all the
men who were in the lower levels as
suredly are dead. II Will take a full
week to enter and explore the mine.
Almost Half a Mile Underground.
The disaster occurred 1890 feet I'M
der ground. and is one and quarter
miles from the floor of the shaft. II
is the greatest mining catastrophe ever
known in the Saar region.
About 600 men entered the mine
for the day shift, but a number OF
them escaped through the Bildstock
shaft which communicates with the
Reden underground The entrance
to the galleries underground is blocked
With dead horses.
Mangied Beyond Recognition.
Most of the bodies brought To the
surface are mangled beyond recogni-
ton The mine inspectors ordered
the rescuers 10 return 10 their homes,
but 10 hold themselves in readiness
for further orders.
Emperor William has ordered that
a fun report of the disaster be sent
him.
Experts calculate that the rescue
work will take one week.
