MINERS TRAPPED
WHILE At WORK
AT Least a Score Are Caught
at CanOnSburg, Pa, in
Two Explosions.

CANONSBURG. Pa. March 10
Twelve men are known 10 be dead as
a result of a terrific double explosion
which wrecked the mine of the Hen
derson Coal company at Henderson
vile this morning. 1t is feared that
this number Will be increased when
the rescue squads burrOwing beneath
tons Of slate and coal reach the
workings where most of the miners
were employed.
Four hundred men are employed
in the mine and the fact that shifts
were changing at the time of the eX-
blossoms prevented one Of the greta-
est disasters i'm the history of the
western Pennsylvania coal felds.
This fact also prevented mine Off
Gals from checking up their pay
roll lists and obtaining an accurate
idea of the number of men buried
in the far recesses of the mine.
The first explosion occurred short
~ before Z o'clock and was quickly
followed by a second. which tore out
the supports of the mine roof and
blocked he passages with tons OF
slate and coal.
The Henderson mine is of the
slope type and is located on the
MOntOur railroad. on account Of
the remOteness of its location, il was
several hours before assistance could
reach the scene of the disaster. The
United States bureau OF mines at
Pittsburgh was notified Of the eXplo-
sion and a mine rescue car with five
government experts, in charge of ID.
J. Parker. reached here shortly after
10 O'Clock. They Immediately took
charge of the rescue work
Great excitement prevailed at the
mine after the explosion. The de-
donations could be heard for miles
and families of miners who had
been at work in the mine rushed TO
the entrance. ON account OF the
fact that the explosion occurred at
a time when shifts were changing.
officials were unable TO say just how
many were i'm the mine
Rescuers forced back TO the sur
face by the gaseous conditions Of the
workings. decided that il was un-
likely that those yet in the mine
were alive and that it would prob
ably be many hours before their
bodies could be reached. as the pas
sages are completely blocked with
tons of coal and slate.
