Four Dead Recovered; Fifty-Nlne

molished.-No Exit For the
Imprisoned Men.

Eccles. w. Va.--All hope for the
rescue Of 203 miners entombed by an
explosion in mines Nos and 6 of the
New River Galleries Co. here, was
abandoned. Rescuers are unable to
force their way into the burning
shafts.
Four miners are known to be dead,
ffty-nine were rescued, many of them
severely burned and 203 others are
entombed in two burning mines and
are believed to have small chance for
their lives as the result of an expso-
sion OF gas in mines Nos. and of
the New River Colleries Co.. The
dead and rescued men were taken
from mine No. and all but thirteen
have been accounted for. One hun
dred and ninety OF the entombed men
are in shaft No. 8. not a man having
escaped from this opening since the
explosion. The mine burned fiercely
with government, state and volunteer
rescuers working desperately to sub
due the flames.
The depth OF the two main shafts
is six hundred feet and the mines are
connected under ground. There are
two other shafts into the mines. but
the explosion totally wrecked three
out OF the four. The lone entrance
leads into mine No. and by means
OF 1t the rescues were made. No. 5
mine apparently is completely shut
from the surface and rescuers hold
little hope OF reaching the large num-
Der OF men in time to save them.

The present mine disaster is the
first OF considerable extent in West
Virginia in several years. II prob
ably is second only in fatalities to the
Monongahela explosion in December
1907, when 366 miners lost their lives
While the loss OF life here will be
heavy. there is a relief for families

workmen's compensation act provides
$50 a month for widows and each OF
