Eleven bodies burned in some cases until identification was difficult, were re- covered late tonight from the Empire mine of the Empire Coal company near Aguilar where a gas explosion early today sent them to their death with out warning. Death apparently Vias instantaneous the recovered bodies with one exception being found hud- dled together under piles of debris Two other bodies have not been recovered.
 Grie fstricken mothers, wives and sisters who had waited anxiously at the mine entrance in a heavy rain throughout the day, aided in identifi- cation of the dead as they were brought to the surface, one by one.
 The bodies were placed in a tempor- ary morgue, where the women relatives were permitted to assist identification

Of 36 men who were in the mine when the explosion occurred, 23 made their way cut in safety. The explosion, as indicated by con- ditions encountered by the rescue | gangs, was confined to d small area about 2500 feet from the mouth of the mine. Wreckage at this depth barred the way of the helmet men but air conditions are good and the ventilat ing fan is working. It is feared. how ever, that the men caught in this part of the mine were killed instantly by the explosion or died soon after from the after-damp which usually develops from an explosion of gas

The sudden departure of one so in
