SIX MEN KILLED
IN POWDER BLAST
WEST VIRGINIA MINE EXPLOSION
CAUSED BY oVERcHARGE
OF POWDER.
.27 MINERS RESCUED
BODIES OF SIX WORKERS REcOV
ERED-HoPE ABANDONED
FOR FIVE OTHERS.

Bluefield, w. Va.-The bodies of six
miners have been recovered from the
mine of the WeyanOke Coal and Coke
Company at Arista, Mercer county.
which early was shaken by a heavy ex-
plosiOn. Hope for rescuing alive five
other miners of the thirty-eight en-
tOmbed by the blast was abandoned
when rescue workers said they were
unable to reach the section of the mine
where the men were at work when the
explosion occurred Afterdamp flood
ed the mine following the explosion.
Seventy-five men were at work in
the mine when it's channels were
rocked by the blast, 5000 feet from the
main opening. However, many of them
were in other sections and were not
caught by the crumbling of the walls.
OF the thirty-eight entombed, twenty
seven only slightly injured were res
cued.
The force of the explosion tore
through to the surface, scattering tim
bers and huge boulders for distance
of several hundred feet Tongues of
flame shot through these openings.
An Overcharge of powder used in
blasting probably was the cause of the
disaster, W. A. Craven superintendent
of the mine, said.
Arista, the scene of the explosion,
is a small mining town in Mercer
county, in the extreme southern sec
ton of West Virginia, and is practi-
cally isolated by the surrounding
mountainous country For hours after
the eXpOsiOn occurred it was impossi-
BILE to communicate by telephone from
Arista with outside points.

controlled by the National Cash Reg
lister Company
There are two mines of the Patter-
son Company at Arista, both of them
being drifts. The general offices of
the company are at Dayton, Ohio

INFORMATION DEPARTMENT
MEAT CONSUMPTION
SETS NEW RECORD

Washington.-More meat was con-
than in any previous year, the Depart
ment of Agriculture announced here
recently. The total consumption was
estimated at 1888, 100000 pounds,
which amounts to 1897 pounds per
person, applying the July 1, 1922, esti-
mate of population. The per capita
consumption showed an increase of six
pounds over 1921 and 61a pounds over
1920.
Coupled with the decrease in the
exports and somewhat higher prices to
purchasers in 1922" the department
report said, "theSe figures evidence a
satisfactory state of the home market
due doubtless to the prosperous condi-
ton and better purchasing power Of
the people generally"
The average meat bill per person
In 1922, according to the estimates,
was made up of 61.4 pounds of beef,
73 pounds of veal, pounds Of NUT
ton and lamb and 76 pounds Of pork.
All classes of meat except mutton and
lamb showed increased consumption.
The largest increase was in beef, 3.6
pounds per person, while the increased
consumption of pork was only slightly
less, 81 pounds per capita. Lamb and
mutton decreased IL pounds per cap
ita.
The conversion of corn into lard by
means of the hog Is one Of the major
industries Of the country, the product
of which goes to all parts of the
world, the department announced. The
67,050,745 hogs slaughtered in 1922
yielded more than 9000,OO0,0O0 pounds
Of meat and 2,333, 100000 pounds of
lard. This is the highest production Of
lard on record, and as the exports, al
though considerable, were less than in
1921, 1t follows that the total consump-
ton also was highest. The per capita
consumption, however, was exceeded
in 1916.
