WEIGH, w. Va, March 27.-Six-
teen bodies have been brought to the
surface of the Jed mine, two miles
from here, which was wrecked by an
explosion yesterday, and fnAy-five 9TH
err bodies we're located early today 1t
is believed that the bodies will be
brought up before night AS the bodies
are recovered they are being placed In
plain cofflns IN the power house of the
Jed Coal and Coke Company.
Chief John Laing of the West Vir-
ginia department of mines, arrived at
the mine early today and took charge
of the rescue work. He also started
a rigid investigation to determine the
| cause Of the explosion.
Dr. J. H Mccullough, coroner Of
Mcdowell county, also is investigating
the cause of the disaster.
After trying all night, the rescue
party gave up hope of finding any
more of the miners alive. This hope
was inspired at noon yesterday, five
hours after the explosion. when ten
living men were brought to the sur
face. They had escaped the death
dealing blast by falling on their
faces an instant before the sheet of
flame flashed through the pit.
During the long hours of the night
the women of the village hung around
the entrance to the shaft, hopeful to
the last that their loved ones would
be restored to them. Many held
sleeping babes to their bosoms, others

their knees, and feeble, old women,
many of whom had tasted the bitter
ness of West Virginia mining life be.
fore, sought vainly to comfort them.
With the rising of the sun hope
fled and the faltering women settled
down with mute stoicism to await the
inevitable-the identification of the
mangled bodies of their dead.
Accumulation of coal dust and fail
ure to sprinkle the mine caused the
explosion, according to Mrs. William
Helton, whose husbands body was
one of the sixteen so far recovered
from the wreck. Helton was mine
! contractor employing dozen miners.
my husband told me several times
: in the past few days that he was
j afraid something was going to nap
a. pen said Mrs Helton. He said
!. there had been very little sprinkling
since the state inspector was there
, several weeks ago, and the dust was
piling up thick"

the mine were terribly mutilated The
