Cross Mountain mine Monday night,
so the bureau Of mines here was in

This is the first big mine disaster

any atmosphere that win not support
life, they are carried into the mine
by the helmeted rescuers for the pur-
pose OF determining the first signs
Of poisonous gases. AS soon as the
canaries show symptoms of dizziness
The volunteer recuers with the he'll
meted workers are not allowed to go
any further and the latter proceed
alone. The bodies found beyond this
point are brought back as far as the
danger line, whence they are carried
