Fifty bodies had been taken from the
mine by rescue parties now at werk I'D
to midnight Of Wednesday, but owing to
the mangled and burned condition of
the bodies recovered, twenty-six of
these remain unidentified. 1t is difficult
to distinguish between white and black
in many instances. Some of the bodies
resemble charred masses of flesh more
than human beings. From some bodies
legs are gone, from others the arms.
One was headless.
Chief State Mine Inspector John La
ing and four assistant inspectors had
Just made an inspection of the mine
prior to the explosion of December 20,
and it was pronounced one of the safest
and best ventilated mines in the Flat
top field. Another inspection was made
Just after the explosion, and no cause
could be assigned for the catrastrophe.
Experienced mine men say that this is
the first case on record where two ex-
plosions occurred in the same mine in
such short space of time.

HIGHWAY TO TOP
OF ROYAL GORGE
GREAT SCENIC ROAD TO BE CON.
STRUGGLED IN FREMONT
COUNTY.
USING CONVICT LABOR
TO BE FURNISHED BY PENITEN.
TiARY WARDEN, UNDER THE
LEWIS LAW.

Canon City.-On petition Of the
Canon City Merchants Association
the county commissioners Thursday
adopted resolution authorizing the
construction Of public highway to
the top Of the Royal Gorge, to be
maintained at public expense. It will
be built with convict labor under the
provisions OF the Lewis law, passed in
1906, and formal requisition will be
made upon the penitentiary warden
for the necessary men as soon as the
survey is made and engineering de.
tails settled.
Although the top Of the Royal Gorge
affords one Of the most rugged and
magnificent mountain scenes in Colo
RADIO. comparatively few people go
there. owing to the roughness of the
road. which in many places is little
better than a trail.
A committee of business men was
selected to secure rights of way and
arrange preliminaries for the under
taking. The proposed road will at no
point have a grade of more than six
per cent. Its construction will add in
terest and Importance to the Colorado
Springs-Canon City highway, now be-
ing built under a legislative appropri-
alton.
