TWELVE KILLED IN
 DOUBLE EXPLOSION
A Coal Mine Horror in Washington
 Mistaken For an Earthquake

Seattle, Nov. 6.-Two explosions oc- curing within a few minutes of each other shortly before o'clock this morning, resulted in the death of F men at the Lawson mine at Black Dia- mond, 90 miles southeast of Seattle.
 Seven men were going down and five were coming up, and were caught between the first and sixth levels. It is considered certain that all perished Natural gas combustion Is assigned as the cause. All the men are foreign CTS The force of the explosion was terrific. Showers of earth, timbers and bits of clothing, believed to be that of the miners, were blown from the slope of the mine. Timbes meas uring 16 inches thick and eight feet long were blown half mile.
 A big section of steam pipe was blown a similar distance and sank 15 feet in the ground.
 The shock was felt for miles around. Many thought there had been an earth quake. As soon as the extent of the disaster was known, rescue parties at once began work in an attempt to rescue any men who might be alive. As far as is known the F men on the tram cars were the only ones in the mine at the time of the explosion. The coal mines at Black Diamond are own ed by the Pacific Coast company.
 Soon after the explosion the mine began to cave In. indicating that all supports had been blown out and the tunnels were wrecked. It Is doubtful if the mine will be re-opened. The damage is estimated at s250,000.
 The only cause the mine officials are able to assign for the explosion is that a Assure of gas may have opened and the gas ignited from a match struck by a workman on the cage while ascending to the surface.

Fair week is here. With thousands of visitors already here and hundreds more coming in on every train, Ari- zonas sixth territorial fair week be- gins today in a blaze of glory. That it will be Arizona's best fair is a cer- tainty, and that all attendance records will be badly broken is another cer- taihty>
 To those who visited the fair grounds yesterday it seemed that the big show had already begun. Many of the exhibits were in place while the quick lunch man, the refreshment ven ders and others who will for one week reap a rich harvest along the "Hassayamp" had their stands up, ready for business. The tent shows were practically ready before the day was over but will give their first per formances today.
 Thousands upon thousands of peo- pie flocked to the grounds during the afternoon for an advance glimpse of the fair. To witness the work of put ting final touches on preparations for Arizona's annual fair is almost as good as seeing the fair itself.
 Lovers of horseflesh watched the speedy animals, brought here to race

made for the first descent. Fred Tait and his gasoline traction engine were employed to manipulate the wire cable by which the balloon Is held captive. Late in the afternoon several ascents were made, and parties were carried up to a height of about fifteen hundred feet. A magnificent view of the val ley was obtained by those brave enough to make the short air journey.
 Practically all the race horses work ed out during the day. All the Savage horses, including Dan Patch, Minor Heir, Lady Maud C.. Hedgewood Boy and Rena Patch, were sent around the track few times.
 Copa de Ora and CarlOkin. the two fastest horses in w. c. Durfee's stable, were given very light workouts. This afternoon Copa de Ora will start to beat his record of 2:O1 IA, made on this track last year. Previous to that time his record was 2:02.
 T don't believe a better horse than Copa was ever born," said MT. Durfee. Hell break his record tomorrow if conditions are right. When a horse is travelling around 2:02 conditions must be peTleCl 1T ne lOWeTS any re cord. Today the track is not in it's best condition, owing to the recent rain, but I have strong hopes that it will be greatly improved by tomorrow and that Copa will be able to do some thing. If he does not make a new re- cord tomorrow I will start him again later in the week"
 TOday's harness races will begin promptly at l o'clock. Four harness races, two running races and a cow boy relay race are on the card. The principal harness event will be the 2: 19 copper stake trot for purse of s3000. Only three horses will start, Fair Maiden, Princess Louise and Helen Stiles. All these horses will be driv en by their owners, Dick McMahon, George Nugent and c. A. Durfee re- spectively. Princess Louise is Phoe- nix horse. Helen Stiles is the favorite in the betting.
 A cowboy relay race Is always cer- tain to arouse the enthusiasm of an Arizona crowd and today's race will be the first ever pulled off for the championship of the world

 Others strolled about through the various buildings that were open and watched the exhibits being placed. Many of the cattle, horses and chick ems were already at the grounds.

This Mornings Start.

itiS
 This morning the cars will leave Ehrenberg at intervals of five min utes apart, in the order of their ar rival in Ehrenberg, which, it will be noted. is not the order of the above list, which was arranged with respect to their speed achievements thus far. The order of the start from Ehren- berg will be:
 Kissel Kar, Apperson, Franklin. Pope Hartford, Mercer. Ohio, Velie, Duro Car, Parry. Rambler, Abbott Detroit, Ford.
 It appears that the Duro Car and Parry both arrived at Ehrenberg at the same time Which will get away first Is made in the table by placing them five minutes apart. Their positions may be reversed.
 The Finish.
 The first car to arrive 1t Is be- Iieyed will reach the fair ground this morning at 10 o'clock or soon there after, unless something serious hap pens to the early and the speedy ones In any event President Bullard said last night, that those who want ed to see the finish should be there by 10 o'clock and he will deliver the goods just as soon as he gets them
 The question of who will win is still an open one. The margins be- tween the leading cars are not large and may be overcome at any time by the good luck of others or the bad luck of the leaders. The Pope Hart ford was probably the favOrite in Phoenix, being recognized as the To- cal champion. But it may not be out of the race yet. The brilliant run from Los Angeles to San Bernardino announced yesterday morning, gave its standard new popularity for the time being and until later news be- gan to leak in there was a strong local sentiment to the effect that 1t would be the winner.
 But as soon as the hard luck ir the sand this side of Mecca was heard about, the Pope Hartford vO- taries climbed on the anxious seat When the news came in that the Kissel Kar, No. 5 in the start, was first to reach Ehrenberg there was disappointment in that quarter. When the Apperson was heard from as next to arrive there was doubt. The ar rival of the Franklin developed g narrowing fear that the Pope was
