Little hope Is entertained for the
rescue OF any alive. because tons of
debris impede the progress of res
cuers.
1t is not known whether the explo-
ficials OF the company say they have
never known their mines to be gas

Superintendent Robert Grant or
ganized a rescue corps OF the miners
off duty, and these attempted to en-
ter the mine.
The rescue party had not advanced
far in the workings before 1t was
found 1t would take several days to
dig through the heaps OF roof coal
and slate. loosened by the explosion.
1t then was decided to effect an en-
trance nearer the probable point of
the explosion by cutting through the
wall of an adjoining mine.
After penetrating about mile down
the main entry, the rescuers found the
body Of man. not identifisd. 1t had
been crushed beneath fall of slate
as he was running out OF the mine.
The discovery of this body dis
heartened the rescuers, who are posi-
tive that none of the others Is alive.
Several yards beyond the passag
was completely blocked by the col
lapse OF the roof. Behind and under
this fall 1t is believed the bodies OF
the miners lay. Gas is heavy in the
main entry and in the workings not
totally blocked. and the rescuers have
to work in short shifts
Havoc wrought in the mine would
indicate that the explosion was ter
rifle. For a square mile or more the
slate and coal was split and props
were splintered. letting the roof fall
in in large sections.
In contrast to the usual mine ex-
plosions, the victims in this case with
one exception are Americans The
mine usually employs 200 men on the
day shift and about the same number
at night. temporary suspension Of
work required fewer men in the mines
else the casualty list might have been
greater.
