Director OF Rescue Work Receives Re.

and Experienced Helmet Men
Scene Continues Sad.

Dawson. Oct. ga. c. Roberts,
directing the government rescue work.
was greatly affected today by the loss
Of several helmet men, and declared
it the greatest tragedy Of the Stag
mine disaster, which already has
claimed probably 261 lives. Two gov
ernment rescue cars of fresh and cx-
perienced helmet men arrived at noon
today.
The helmet men we're members Of
q crew of ten. At the sixteenth room
the crew divided. four pushing into
the eighteenth room at the face OF
the mine. Two were buried by a sud-
den fall of rock and the other two
struggled to release them. The first
two pulled out of the rocks lost their
helmets, and the two rescuers were
then overcome by gas. The second
pair was brought out alive when the
third division rescuers stumbled on
them.
1t is feared that all of the en-
tombed miners have perlshed.
Pathetic scenes continue to be
staged about the entrance to the mine
where women and children have
waited in. the vain hope that. their
loved ones might still be alive. Hope,
however, has now been abandoned,
and more than one of the sorrowing
women has had to be literally carried
from the place.
