Dawson, N. NJ, Feb. 9.-1P)--A total
of 81 bodies had been removed from
mine No. l of the Phelps-Dodge cor
poration, where an explosion en-
tombed 122 workers Thursday, up to
this afternoon.
At that hour rescue crews working
in the south side tunnels of the prop
erty declared that four men still were
alive in the mine and were trying to
make their way to the mine entrance
without lights Mine company Off
Gals declared they were dubious that
the four men were alive, but rescue
parties entered the mines in an effort
tc assist the cntombed men to find
their way to the pit head.
A resume of the days developments
showed two miners alive, Il bodies
recovered and SO men still within the
workings.
The rescue work is under direction
of w. F. Murray, safety engineer, and
the workers include the home rescue
crew of the Phelps-Dodge corporation
and the rescue crew of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company.
A first aid station has been estab-
lished in the check house adjoining
the mine, and the rescue. workers
are here given food and rest.
Killed by Conclusion.
The victims of the explosion whose
bodies have been recovered, show
few bruiseS or marks, according to
physicians. Undertakers declare the
fIxr Iii
conclusion of the explosion.
The majority OF the workmen en-
ployed in the mine We're Mexicans
and Italians.
Among the victims is Albert Eng
lish, jr., a mine foreman. who is be-
lieved to have perished when the
blast occurred His father. Albert
English, sr, was employed on the
same shift and the body of the elder
English has been found by rescue
crews.
A throng Of more than 200 men and
women gathered near the main entry
of the mine to watch for word from
the inside. To facilitate progress of
the work of rescue. mine officials
roped off the tracks and entrance to
the mine.
Cause OF Blast Mystery.
Officials in charge of operations in
the mine when the explosion occurred
were wholly at loss to explain the
cause OF the explosion this after
noon. The decoration came without
warning. A huge tongue OF flame
and smoke shot forth from the mouth
of the entry. which. Is located on
the side of a fairly steep hill, three
miles from the center Of Dawson.
Mine No. ] consists OF one long
shaft which extends into the noun
tain for two miles The main entry
is intersected by crosscuts. The en-
tire mine is ventilated by a huge fan
system. While It was impossible to
drive air into the mine against the
immense volume OF gas and smoke is
suing from the working for about 10
minutes after the blast, the. fan
system continued 20 work and fresh
air soon was dz..en into the shaft.
Within five minutes after the ex-
plosion, the word had spread through
out the camp and friends and rela-
tives of the entombed men rushed TO
the scene.
The first bodies found were those
OF motorman and a nipper. Their
bodies were found lying 1900 feet in
front OF the entry where they ap-
parently had been working when the
explosion occurred.
