HUNDRED DIE IN EXPLOSION
 IN COAL MINE
Miners Are Trapped by Blow-Up Near Mine
 Entrance CONCRETE WORK WRECKED
Big Toll Is Taken by Accident From an
 Unknown Cause

DENVER, Feb. 9.-Another terri ble tragedy was added to the list of coal mine disasters of the past few months with an explosion which oc- cured yesterday in the soft coal mine Number One of the Phelps Dodge Corporation at Dawson, New Mexico, when one hundred and twen- ty two miners were entombed, accord, ing to a dispatch to the Denver Post Dispatch. A hundred bodies have already been taken out, according to the message. The explosion, whose cause is not known, was terrific one, the entire concrete work at the entrance of the mine being demol- ished. Officers of the company state that they can find no explanation for the disaster, since the mine was we'll sprinkled and is not gaseous. This is the second catastrophe of the same kind to have occurred with the same mining company, mine Number Two at Dawson having been the scene of a terrific explosion in 1913. At that time 261 miners and two members of the rescue crew lost their lives.

Hickman, of ket- schikan, also spoke before the Cham Der, declaring that something must be done immediately if the salmon indus try of Southeastern Alaska is to be saved Hickman stated that the can nerymen are fully alive to the fact that unless a closed season is made effective immediately their canneries will have no fish to can.
