1877 VEN DEAD in
CANADA COLLIERY

L%ethbridge. Alta. June 22.-After re-
covering 20 charred bodies today, res
cuers We're driven from their work by
fire before noon at mine Nc. 20. Of the
Hillcrest (Alta.), collieries, limited,
where a great explosion yesterday
wrecked the underground property and
is believed to have killed 1877 men.
Among the bodies recovered We're
those of James Quigley, superintendent
Of the mine, n Thomas Taylor, fire
boss.
Tons of rock, broken timbers and
other debris are heaped in the en-
frances n it seemed probable many
of the bodies will not be recovered for
several days. Exploration by rescuers
early today indicated the miners had no
warning of death, as several bodies
were foun standing nearly erect With
picks and other mining tools in hand
pinned to walls by timbers or rocks.
While officials encouraged the belief
that many Of the men are alive, this
belief is not common. as relatives n
comrades Of the missing men fear that
those who were not crushed by falling
debris were overcome by the poisonous
gases. j.
Although it was officially stated last
night that but 225 men, composing the
day shift, were in the mine when the
explosion occurred yesterday morning,
later figures declared to be authentic
place the number at 23S. With Al of
this number accounted for as alive
early today. the other 1877 still in the
mine are believed to be dead. But few
bodies had been recovered early today
aside from the % removed yesterday.
Rescue workers from the British
Columbian station at Fernie labored
throughout the night with the Alberta
province crew clearing away the debris
that blocked the mine passages near
- GAc n3OSfE of the miners
We're working several hundred feet in
when the explosion occurred. the res
cuers do not expect to recover all the
bodies for several days.
