Pittsburg. Pa.-The model mine Of
the world has proven a failure and
probably 40 men are dead beneath
its wreckage as the result of an ex-
p1osiOn. Officials of the Pittsburg-
Buffalo company which owns the mine
say there are only 135 men in the mine
but wOrkmen who have come from
down in the works. declare there are
at least 200 dead bodies down in the
bottom of the pit. The mine was in
spected less than an hour before the
explosion.
The slight hope that some of the
entombed miners Will be rescued alive
was strengthened when an American
miner was brought to the surface.

experience. One of the rescuing par

men alive below and then rescuers
were set to work clearing away the
debris. From the condition of the

covered. Deputy State Mine Inspector
Henry LOutitt believes that 90 others
may be saved.
There is no telling who the victims
are. The majority Of them are Eng

Polish and Slavish. Until the bodies
are brought out the company will per-
nit no names to be given out
Unlike other mine explosions in the
Pittsburg district. this one did not
occur away under some high hill
where the bodies We're hidden from
sight for days The Mariana mines
all of them, are just in course of con
struction, and all that has been done
was the driving of the entries.
This was pay day and the men were
to have been through work at noon.
They were busy driving entries and
none of them were more than 400 feet
from the mouth of the shaft, This
would have made the work Of rescue
comparatively easy had it not been
for the terribly destructive force of
the explosion.
Ten of the bodies We're recovered in
the main entry and at the foot of the
shaft. awaiting the temporary cage
to bring them to the surface.
Others were lying in the % rooms
or workings of the mine, entrance TO
which is still blocked by debris.
The first rescuing party worked its
way through the wreckage at the foot
of the shaft and almost Immediately
