about when the men died, for the nox-

fatally dense until some time after the
first fire was subdued.

which are to be buried such of the
bodies as are recovered, arrived today,
and were stored near the mine, although
this was kept from the afflicted fami-
lies.

No Bodies Discovered.

1t is a mistake 20 think that seal
ing the shaft cuts off the circulation
of air. 1t does not. Our anemome-
tiers have shown all along a good cir
CulatiOn of air in the shaft, but the
damage that was fatal had been done
long before the mine was sealed the
first time Saturday afternoon. In my
explorations in the mine 1 did not dis
cover any bodies. | think that the
miners when entrapped ran as far away
from the fire as possible. [ have seen
reports that heaps of bodies were dis
covered by mine explorers. I know
that the dead are in the mine. but it
is untrue that any have been found.
If they had been they would have
been brought to the surface
I'VE will do everything possible to
recover the bodies, because we believe
it is essential that the poor sufferers
should bury their dead

Death Came at Once.

The belief was expressed by Mine
Manager Taylor that the men in the
mine died soon after the disaster on
Saturday. Taylor has repeatedly risked
his life to get into the mine, and yes
terday almost persisted when he wan
dered 200 feet from the main shaft and
returned just in time to see the re-
kindled flames eating their way toward
the cage-his only means of escape.
Every man in the mine died on the
day of the fire." said Taylor. There is
no reason in the world why sany one
should try to arouse false hopes in the
minds of these poor people.
1T is a mistaken idea that the en-
tOmbed miners could have FASTENED far
out in the galleries of the mine and
there found oxygen enough to keep
them alive for the day.
Tests showed that on the day Of
the fire the air current in the mine
had a velocity of 500 feet a minute
The longest gallery in the mine is
quarters Of a mile. The fire in
the mine was intense and the smoke
and poisonous gases known to miners
as white damp were Whirled TO every
corner. No living thing could sur
vive it. To argue that pockets might
be found into which the gas did not

End Was Painless.

The entombed men all breathed this
gas. They could not escape it. Caught
like rats in a trap they went to sleep
just as a person would taking ether.
1t is not a painful death. 1 have been
twice overcome by the gas.
But we have done everything in hu-
man power to get into the mine to
allay the anxiety of the people. We
know that ali are dead who, were
there, but in such an emergency we
have rfsked our own lives to satisfy
the agOnized relatives of the dead.
This work of exploration has been a
dangerous business. We don't want to
lose any more lives.

newed fire. / could see it near the

Difficulty was encountered in many
homes because of the hysterical con-
ditiOn of the women. By night the
workers had not completed their work,
and no list giving the exact number
of men entombed in the mine was OBJ
tanned.
Besides scenes at the mouth of the
mine today, the most pathetic incident
occurred at the place where heirs Of
the dead miners were paid off.

Pay Day at the Mine.
Mayor Charles Connolly acted as
bank cashier and paymaster for the
st. Paul mine.
Along the walk outside the bank
were lined survivors of the disaster.
1t was the regular semi-monthly pay
day, and in the envelopes were the
wages of the 500 men employed there
amounting to $4,000. At the mine Of
flee, half mile away, employees are
given their time checks" the first
and the sixteenth of the month. Today
the information was given out that
the wives or daughters OF those who
were down" would be given their
checks.
Among the line of people drawn up
before the pay window were women
bearing in their arms their smallest
babies, while other wide-eyed chill
dren tOddled with them. once in a
while a woman would appear at the
window whose face betrayed no sad
ness, because her husband was up.
She had been sent TO the bank be-
cause he was busy at the mine.
Perhaps the saddest case was that
of a young bride, a native of Brit
tany. The girl, not more than 19
years of age, carried an infant. An
other native of France was called from
a position in the rear of the line to
act as interpreter. The WOmans hus-
band, to marry whom she came to
America a year ago, was not up" she
reported.
