(By United press.l

PRIMERO, Colo, Feb 1.-The death toll is
growing with each trip the rescuers make from the
wrecked Colorado Fuel and Iron company's mine.
Forty~two charred and manged bodies now lie in
the improvsed morgue near the mouth of the tunnel
One hundred men are still missing
Although they had almost abandoned hope of
finding even one alive in the earth trap, the
men worked all day like mad One by one they
brought to the surface the bodies.
AS each lifeless form was carried past the wives
and mothers that crowded as closely as possible to
the mouth of the tunnel it necessary for the men
who standing guard use force to prevent them
from breaking through the ropes and rushing to the
death chamber that established in a rude shack
