GUNNISON TUNNEL
SCENE OF DEATHS
Three Men Killed by Fumes from
Blasts, 80 Others Barely
Escaping.

Montrose, Col, Jan. 17.-Three men
were suffocated by powder smoke and
nitro fumes in the Gunnison tunnel
yesterday and 80 others barely escap-
ed with their lives.
Air currents of the tunnel were re
versed by the concussion Of heavy
blasts and the smoke and gases were
blown back upon the miners before
they could reach the portal. The dead:
A. S. HAYNES.
PARKER PATTEN.
n. MARTIN.
The men were working two miles
from the river portal and all prepared
to fire their holes at the same time.
The air currents were from north TO
south, and the miners had retired 200
feet to north of the blast when it was
fired. The air currents reversed i'm
mediately and the three men were
overcome. A number of those who es-
capped are said to be in a precarious
condition.
The Gunnison tunnel is the govern
ment reclamation project opened last
year by President Taft on his western
trip. It will provide water to irrigate
10000 acres of the Uncompahgre val
