Flames and smoke are belching
from the crevices of the crumbled
shaft, and although all hope of saw
ing any of the buried men has been
abandoned. golfers from miles around
are risking their lives in an effort to
snuff out the flames with earth and
water.
The cause OF the explosion has not
been ascertained. and perhaps never
will be known. The New River Co.
operates six mines at Eccles. Nos. 6
and 8 connect Early in afternoon
there was a slight explosion in No 6,
followed by another, slightly greater,
in No. 3.
Ten minutes later the valley shook
with the third blast in No. s. The
timbers over the main shaft, the ven
tilators and the cages were shot to
the sky and deposited far up the hill
side.
The Nirginian railway suspended
traffic and rushed a rescue crew of the
Pawama Coal and Coke Co. at Mat
oaks, several miles away with a num-
Der OF physicians and nurses.
The superintendent also called for
help from Beckley. another point on
the Virginia railroad but the Matoaks
crew in charge of the Federal mine
rescue car was the first to arrive. The
men set to work. but were greatly

and children who crowded the en-

finally became necessary to arm the
miners to drive the people back.
