Dawson, N. NJ, Oct. 23.-Two hum

lieved to be dead tonight beneath tons
of fallen earth, timber, coal and rock
in mine No 2 of the Stag Canon Fuel
Company here. Hundreds of miners,
working in shifts of fifteen each are
slowly forcing their way, fighting
against the dangers of gas and fire. A
blaze started in the adjoining mine
and threatens to reach the space
where entombed men are entrapped.
Only twenty three were taken from
the mine alive. Fourteen dead bodies
were found today. A live mule found
in the mine this afternoon led the Of

the entombed men are still alive four
thousand feet from the entrance. =.

is among the known dead. At the
time OF the explosion 284 men We're in
the mine and the. great fans which
kept the air circulating were rendered,
useless by the explosion, hence SO
large a death list.
Some belief was expressed tonight
that the party of entombed miners
had reached room and sealed it in
coming them. The cause of the ex-,
plosion is undetermined.

Ariz., manager of Phelps-D Dodge & Co.

reported from Ell Paso, Tex, to be
coming here on special train with
