Hastings, Colo. Arpil 30.-Virtually
all hope of saving any of the 120 men
entombed in the Hastings mine of the
Victor-American Fuel Company here
Friday morning has been abandoned.
James Dalrymple, state coal mine
inspector. who came from the mine,
gave 1t as his opinion that there was
no one left alive in the mine. Rescue
men who have been in the mine ex-
pressed themselves similarly
C. f. Bartlett. president of the com
pany. however, declared the work of
rescue would go on until there is no
hope that any of the entombed men
are alive.
''In my opinion there was no fire in
the mine," DalryIhple said In this
view he is Joined by practically all
employers and rescue men here AS
to the cause of the disaster he said:
1--WE cannot tell until we reach the
initial point Of the explosion. We are
working the north side of the air
course and coming back on the SOUTH
searching every entry in which there
we're men working"
Rescue men. old miners, and old res
Idents in this section put the present
disaster down as the worst that ever
occurred in the southern Colorado coal
fields. The same men united in shak-
ing their heads and saying, 81 don't
know when asked about the cause
of the explosion.
Hastings. Colo, April 30.-Three
men-Thomas Manville, mine worker;
ID. III. Reese. mine inspector, and Phil
King, electriciaE-may be alive in an
air pocket 1000 feet underground in
the Hastings mine. wrecked by an ex-
plosion and swept by fire at O'Clock
Friday morning. But the theory is
discounted for company officials
Poisonous gases fill the passages
which lead to the air pocket, and
fighting through the deadly damp, he'll
meted crews of rescue men are work
ing frantically in an effort to reach
the entombed miners.
Here is the basis for the belief that
Manville, Reese and King are still
alive; Twenty-one bodies have been
brought from the mine, and ninety-six
others have been located by the he'll
met men, who have explored practical
ly every foot of the mine except the
main heading. 1000 feet further than
the last cross entry. AS 120 men were
known to have been in the mine at the
time of the explosion. this leaves
three unaccounted for.
