Folty-five white and one hundred and
thirty-five negro miners are entomb-
ed tonight in No. 3 coal mine at Palos,
Ala, as the result of terrific ex-
pIosion that occurred today. 1t is be-
lieved that all are dead. The mines
are owned by the PalOs Coal & Coke
Company. of Birmingham. Two bodies
were found early tonight. but it is
thought that few can be recovered be-
fore morning
The flames from the explosion shot
two hundred feet into the air and the
shock was felt for miles. Thinkers
were hurled several hundred feet
from the mouth of the mine. Rocks
from the roof caved in and made &C.
cess difficult.
The fan machinery was damaged,
but air is pumped into the mine 60
night in the hope that some of the
men are still alive.
Rush to Rescue.
Residents of Palos. which is 40
miles west of Birmingham, began at
once to do what they could, but res
cue work was not started in earnest
until special train from Birming-
ham reached Palos late today. This
special train carried State Mine In

of the geological station at Knoxville,

ing his way 400 feet down the slope,
he found the second right entry
caved. The two bodies recovered to-
night were in the main slope.
Hurled Into River.
James GOusby, a mail carrier, was
caught by the explosion thirty feet
from the mouth of the slope. and his
body was hurled into the Warrios
river. He was walking along the
railroad track. and was directly in
front of the mines mouth when the
explosion occurred. 1t was judged
from this that the force of the explO-
sion was such that none of the men
in the interior could remain alive.
There are a number of mining
camps within two OF three miles of
the Palos mine. and within a short
time after the explosion y great crowd
had gathered about the Inflated mine.
Hundreds Of women and children
were around the mine wrineiRg their
hands and crying piteously tonight
The Only Hope
The Palos mines have been worked
for 2 number of years and the en-
tries were extensive. The only hope
that some OF the men have escaped
and are still alive is the possibility
that they were far enough away from
the explosion to have missed its main
force.

ing company, who is in from there for

Deep Creek mines have lost nothing il
ore values by depth, and the veins uni

demonstrated by development. The

CEDAR TALISMAN
BREAKS INTO ORE
Last Round of Shots Reaches
West Contact on 500
Level.

Word received in this city yesterday
from p. b. Mexican, superintendent
Of Cedar-I alisman, is TO the effect
that the last round of shots fired on
the west drift of the 500 level had
broken into the ore
This. no doubt. is authentic, and be-
ing so. is the most important strike
ever made in this property
Mr.. Mexican has been a heavy
owner in the property for fifteen 10
twenty years. and has always declared
that the Cedar is one of the best, if
not the best property in the entire
Star district. He has maintained, too,
all this time, that the Cedar's most
profitable ore zones would be found
in the great contacts on either side
of the lime core where the ore has
been taken out. These contacts run
north and south, and are between lime
and pOFphyry.
IN all the various workings in this
property. these contacts have never
been explored" declared Mr.. Mexican
a few days ago. 4 have advocated
1t, but somehow it has not been done
until recently. when on the 500 level
drifts We're sent out both east and
west from the main shaft TO catch
these contacts. The one TO the east
is dipping from US; the one TO the
west toward us. SO l think Dan will
catch the west sooner than the other
When they do get those contacts, they
Will find the biggest and richest bodies
ever found in the Cedar. or 1 will be
greatly surprised"
Since making that remark, Mr.. Nc
Kean has taken charge of the work
Before going down there. he declared
I'm make a mine of the Cedar, and
you mark my word
Some little ore has been showing
along the drifts now and then. But
the fact that he has struck the con-
tact and found ore. seems proof that
Mr.. Mexican knew what he was talk
ing about. The word was sent TO Salt
Lake before waiting for the mine to
clear, and just how important the dis
eovery IS may not be ascertained for a
day or two
