BELIEVED l98 DIED
 IN BURNING MINE
FIFTY BODIES HAVE BEEN RICO ( BRED, 14s MEN MlsslNG-REs-
 CUERS ABANDON HOPE.

Butte. Mont.-With 50 known dead and t4S others still missing, Butte wrestIed with the worst mine disas- ter ia it's history
 Fifty bodies had been recovered from the Speculator and Granite Mountain properties of the Norta Butte Mining Company and hope of fiding alive the 148 missing men has virtually been abandoned.
 Fire broke out in the lower levels of the mine, starting from a broken power cable that carried electricity to the underground pumps. Lower levels of the mine quickly filled with smose and gas.
 There were 415 men on the night shift Of these 213 escaped through levels connecting with other mines. The gas spread to the Diamond Mine and. it was feared, took a further toll of life in that property.
 Helmet men, mine rescue crews and safety first squads from all the mines in Butte undertook to penetrate the gas-fl1ed workings of the Speeulator, the Diamond and High Ore mines in the hope of rescuing other miners.
 The fire, which started on the 2,4O0' foot level, spread quickly, cutting off the escape of men on lower levels Dense smoke retarded rescue work.
 Miners from adjoining properties, ordsred up from underground as precaution, went to work as rescuing gangs aiding national guardSmen who had been called Co the scene. They were able to do little.
 Warning of their danger came soon enough to permit men on the level to escape. They immediately formed rescue parties and attempted to go down the shaft to the men believed entombed, but failed.
 Joseph Coffemetten and John Boyce, who were the first two men to De taken from the shaft alive, told how they cheated death by cutting the air hose and sucking the air by turns un- til the rescue party arrived. They were on the 700 foot level at the out break of the fire.
 According to miners who escaped from the shaft, the fire started from flames of carbide lamp.
 The men were ordered to report 4o the timekeeper as they emerged from the mine.
 Two men who were working on the roo foot level reported that AS had perished on the level where they work ed, they alone being saved.
 All ambulances tn Butte and all physicians in the city were summon ed to the mine to cooperate with the rescue parties. Every safety-frst ex- pert in the district has also been sum- moned
