TWENTY-THREE
BURIED IN Mine
NO HOPE FOR RESCUE ENTER
TANNED BY SEARCHING
PARTY.

THE BODY OF ONE MAN is
FOUNO-PROGRESS is VERY
SLOW.

Elk Garden, w. Va.-Twenty-three
miners are entombed in OFT mine No.
OF the Davis Coal & Coke Company
here, as the result of an explosion.
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-
sion was caused by dust or gas. Of
ficals of the company say they have
never known their mines to be gas
eous.
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 it was
found it would take several days to
dig through the heaps of roof coal
and slate, loosened by the explosion.
trance nearer the probable point of
the explosion by cutting through the
wall of an adjoining mine.
After penetrating about a mile down
the main entry, the rescuers found the
Eody of man, not Identified. 1t had
been crushed beneath a 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 passage
was completely blocked by the col
lapse of the roof. Behind and under
this fall it 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. A temporary suspension OF
work required fewer men in the mines
else the casualty list might have been
greater.

Protest from Eagle County.

Washington. - Representative Tay-
lor called on Secretary Fisher to file
protest forwarded to him by the
commissioners of Eagle county, re-
garding power site Withdrawals. The
secretary has taken the matter under
advisement, but there is little hope for
any modification of the executive Or
der The petition and protest from
Eagle county recites that about all of
the land fit for agricultural develop
ment in that portion of Colorado is
along Eagle and Grand rivers and
that this immense area has been with
drawn by the Interior Department for
power site purposes. The result has
been to stop all agricultural devel-
opment, as the withdrawal of all
available agricultural lands prevents
settlement and deprives the state of
taxes it would receive were these
lands open to settlement.

Letter From Florence

Florence, s. D., July II, 1911.
Editor Saturday News,
WATERFOWL, s. D.
Dear Editor: E
Allow me space in your valuable
paper to correct the misleading state
ment of the Florence correspondent
in your issue of July 14th, 1911,
where occasion was sought to brand
the town board with the exception Of
one of being lawless citizens. The
correspondent says that the liquor
law was SO openly violated that one
oil the board was in favor Of revoking
the license and closing the saloon,
but the other members were of law
lessness. If the law was so openly
violated why is it that "the law re.
specting citizen" who the correspon-
dent says was SO roughly handled
did not make complaint to the proper
officers and have the law enforced Pit
evidently goes to show that this claw
respecting" citizen had entered the
place expecting to find trouble and
only did so to his sorrow, and any re-
port to the effect that the other mem
bers were willing to uphold lawless.
ness is a barefaced falsehood, and
hereafter the correspondent should
be a little more careful in reporting
such exaggerations.
