MANY MINERS ENF0kBED
Presence Of Black Damp Makes Res
cue Work Hazardous:

starkville, Col. Especially En-
tombed by an explosion in the Stark
vile mine of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company at least SO men are
the objects of heroic efforts Of
rescue.
The would-be rescuers worked
throughout the day trying to pene-
trate the black depths of the mine in
the hope that some, or probably all,
Of the imprisoned miners might be
rescued
The presence of black-damp, which
almost invariably follows in the
wake of coal-mine explosions, made
the work of rescuers extremely baz-
ardous, and repeatedly members Of
parties were overcome, necessitating
retreat to the open air.
A feature Of the rescue work was
the devotion to duty of James viii
son, superintendent of the Starkville
mine, who left sick bed to lead the
volunteers
Superintendent Wilson finally sue
cumbed to the exertion and gases and
was forced to take to his bed again.
According to statement given out
by the coroner, there are known to be
in the mine % Poles, 3 Russians, 10
American, Mexicans, 1 Severian
and g whose nationality is not
known.

sTANDARD OUTS OLE PRICES.
Reductions Made In Europe and thte
Far East In Campaign To In
crease Use of Kerosene.

New York y. +. G. Clarke,
through whom the Standard Oil Conn.,
pany makes it's official announce
ments to the public, has issued a
statement to the effect that the com
pany has entered on a thoroughly
mapped out campaign to increase the
consumption of kerosene in Euro
pean countries and the lands of the
Orient. The first move in this cam
paign is the reduction of the prices
of oil in those countries, Mr.. Clarke's
announcement says in part:
The Standard Oil Company has in
augurated campaign to increase
the worlds consumption of refineu
|oil. The level of prices for refined
oil today in the United States is low
er than at any time during recent
years, and as direct result of these
prices the consumption of refined oil
in this country is increasing. The
same policy is now being actively
pursued abroad
As Indicated by this statement, the
Standard company began trying out
the policy of lower prices in the
United States, though without an
nouncing that it had in view a cam
paign that would cover the world.
In August the price of refined oil in
tanks was reduced from s " to 5 "
cents gallon, and the price Of re-
fined oil in barrels at the refinery
was cut cent, from 9& to S%
cents a gallon.
