Snow Sweeps Southwestern Colorado.

Trinidad.-Heavy SHOWS have swept
across central and southwestern Col
orado. The fall measured from few
inches to two feet in depth. While the
storms are unparalleled for the sea-
son of year, it is believed that SO far
fruit and other crops have escaped in
jury.
The snow was accompanied by low
er temperature, but unless this is fol
lowed by clear skies, farmers have no
fear of frost.
Colorado Springs experienced the
first snow that has been recorded in
the Pixies Peak region.
Cripple Creek presents an appear
ance that suggests the Christmas sea-
son.
At Garland snow fell half day. The
foot of the Sangre de Cristo mountains
and the east side of the San Luis val
ley are covered with white mantle.
The crops have not been damaged in
this section.
Fairplay, Hartsel, Jefferson and the
South Park country generally show as
high as eighteen inches of snow in
places. Fairplay is smothered under
almost two feet of snow.
Snow fell for two hours at Trinidad,
phenomenon never before recorded
in that city, according to the Oldest
settlers.
A light rain at Canon City turned to
snow. All the violence of winter ac-
companied it. A high wind prevailed.
The snow melted as fast as it fell.
Snow fell at Cliff and Querida. The
Cooper mountains between Canon City
and Cripple Creek were white. This
melted rapidly.
1t was the first snowfall that had
visited the Arkansas valley in seven
years. No damage was reported.
The foothills back of Golden and on
to Idaho Springs showed a light fall
for half day. Rain prevailed in this
section.

EXPLOSION KILLS
TWELVE MINERS
POCKET OF GAS "GoES OFF" AT
HASTINGS coLLIERY NEAR
TRINIDAD, COLORADO.
SEVEN BODIES RESCUED
THE UNITED STATES RESCUE CAR
AND CREW AT WORK; ALL
ARE BELIEVED DEAD.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Trinidad, Colo.-Twelve men were
caught like rats in trap when an ex
plosion occurred in the Hastings mine
of the Victor-American Fuel Company
Tuesday night All are believed to be
dead. Seven bodies have been recov-
cred by the rescue crews, among them
being that of Fire Boss John Thomas.
The bodies were scorched, but not
otherwise in bad condition. Indica-
tions show that the men died of suf-
| location after the explosion.
The work of getting the bodies from
the mass of wreckage which blocked
the slope was accomplished quietly
and without excitement. The members
of the rescue gangs worked like SO
many machines.
Barriers of rock and timber were
swept away before the onslaughts of
the grim workers. AS fast as the dead
are removed from the mine they are
being placed In the temporary morgue
near the mouth of the shaft.
Wednesday evening the United
| States government rescue car and its
crew of famed men reached Hastings
and the crew at once joined in the
work of recovering the bodies.
1t is believed that the remaining
| five men in the mine are in the ex-
| treme entry, and to reach them it will
be necessary to clear away almost a
solid wall of wreckage which the ex-
ploSion heaped up near the cutoff of
the south portion of the slope.
The explosion was caused by a
windy shaft setting off a pocket of
gas. 1t caught the thirteen members
of the night shift like rats in a trap
with no chance to escape.
George Pappas, a Greek, his body
mangled, was rescued alive from be-
hind wall of rocks shortly before
O'clock Wednesday morning. The body
| of an unidentified man was taken out
shortly before 8 o'clock Wednesday
| afternoon.
The explosion took place in what is
known as &C seam shortly after 10
O'Clock Tuesday night, but was not
known until long after midnight when
night watchmen saw smoke coming out
of the mouth of the slope Casting the
light of their lanterns into the mouth
of the slope the men discovered the
entrance choked with wreckage.
The alarm was at once spread and

cials and small army OF trained men
were on the scene.
Life-saving equipment was hastily
assembled and small force led by
Superintendent Cameron entered the
mine. They had proceeded but a few
feet when the foul air swept down
upon them. General Superintendent
McDermott was notified and upon his
arrival the men were organized into
squads to take up the work of rescue.
General Manager w. A. Murray of
Denver was notified by wire and left
at once for the scene.
