Trinidad. Colo.-Driven back re-

cuers working in relays to reach the
victims of the explosions in the Stark
vile mine, five miles southwest Of
Trinidad, have made no headway.
1t seems almost impossible that the
entombed men will be reached soon:
in fact. 1t may be days before the in
ner workings, where the men were en-
trapped, will be penetrated.
The last ray of hope that any Of the
imprisoned men can be taken out Of
the mine alive was lost when the res
cuers were compelled to abandon
work temporarily by the rush Of after
damp and gaseous fumes which filled
the mine. Many of the rescuers were
overcome and were resusc'tated only
after the most vigorous emergency
treatment.
A large force Of men chopped
through the cement wall which separ-
ates the Engleville mine and the main
slope OF the Starkville property. and
after the work was completed. the
fans were reversed. and the bad air in
the wrecked mine is now being
sucked out through the Engleville
shaft This. with the work being done
by the rescue parties in the new
slope, and with the emergency fan
driving the air before 1t. may result
In the rescuers reaching the cross
cuts in the main haulage-way.
