oXHR ONE HUNDRED
LIVES sNUEFED OUT IN
MINE EXPLOSION
CAARRED AND MANGLED
BODIES RECOVERED
Only Mothers and Wives Still
Hope That the Missing

(By Associated Press.)

Primero Colo, Feb, 1.-THE charred
and nlangled bodies Of tweniyfour
victims of an explosion wrecking the
PrimerO mine Of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company Monday afternoon
were brought to the surface early this
morning 1t Is stated that seventy
nine are known to be dead and only
one man, Dio M Mardin6 was rescued
alive.
One hundred and forty-nine persons
are known to have been in the mine
al the time Of the explosion and 1t Is
feared that but few are still alive.
Only mothers and wives watching
through the night around the shaft
urging the rescuers with tears and
prayers still hope that the missing
are still living.
Three men were killed at the mouth
Of the main slope by the force Of the
explosion
Both fans With which the mine Is
equipped were shattered and it was
impossible to enter the mine until
they were repaired at 1880. AS soon
as the fans were repaired General Su-
perintendent ]. r. Thompson and a
rescue party entered by the main air
shaft but were unable to reach the
main shaft which is completely block
ed. The party returned to the sur
face after securing five bodies which
were badly burned.

party equipped with oxygen he'll
NETS replaced them and are now
searching for more bodies.
Miners were rushed to Primero
from Trinidad, Segundo, Starkvlle,
Sororis and Cokeville, and are labor
ing frantically to clear the main shaft.
II Is impossible to determine how
far the main shaft has caved and 1t
may be days before the shaft is clear
ed and the total death list known.
Scene Is lndiscrbabIe
Most of the victims are Slavs and
, Hungarians. Will Helm, an electrician,
is known to be among the missing.
The camp is a scene of indescrib-
able horror. While every able-bodied
man is taking bis turn with pick and
shovel to clear the shaft, the women
and children. kept back by ropes,
have gathe~ed about the mine, weep.
ing and calling wildly upon their low
ed ones who have not been found.
Experts from all the coal camps of
the state have gathered to assist Su-
perintendent Thompson.
Members of the first rescue party
say that the effect Of the explosion
under ground Is indescribable. The
bodies recovered were horribly burn
cd and unrecognizable. One body was
impaled on broken tlmbers.
The bodies were literally blown to
prleces and were unrecognizable
A special train carrying physicians
and Coroner Gilfoyle arrived al 9:f5.
Officials of the company state that
the disaster is .he worst in the his
tory Of Western coal mining. A sim
liar explosion, in which "a were kill

not recovered for weeks.
