Primero, Cola hundred, perhaps
150 men met a horrible death
in the Primero mine OF the Colorado
Fuel & Iron Co., where terrific ex-
plosion that shook the surrounding
country like an earthquake occurred.
Already 10 bodies have been taken out
by the rescue parties, daring death
to explore the black tomb 1t is not
believed that any who were in the
mine escaped, as the shock was so Sc
we're that three men standing at the
mouth of the mine when the explosion
occurred met instant death.
Officers of the company state that
the disaster is the worst in the his
tory of western coal mining. A SIM
liar explosion, in which "a were killed,
occurred in the same property Janu-
ary 23, 1907. The bodies were not
recovered for weeks.
Both fans with which the mine Is
equipped were shattered and it was
impossible to enter the mine until
they were repaired AS soon as the
fans were repaired General Superin-
tendent ]. F. Thompson and a rescue
party entered by the main air shaft,
but were unable to reach the main
shaft which is completely blocked.
The party returned to the surface
after securing five bodies which were
badly burned. A party equipped with
oxygen helmets replaced this party.
The workings were reached through
the air shaft and are now being
searched for more bodies.
The camp is scene of indescribable
horror. While every able-bodied man is
taking his turn with pick and shovel
to clear the shaft, the women and
children, kept back by ropes, have
gathered about the shaft, weeping and
calling wildly upon their loved ones
who have not been found.
Members of the first rescue party
say that the effect of the explosion
underground is indescribable. The
bodies recovered were horribly
burned and unrecognizable. One body
was impaled on broken timbers.
