BIDDEF0RD REFLECTS
MAYOR DRAPEAU BY 1860
HOPE TO LEARN
FATE OF TRAPPED
COAL MINERS TODAY

Castle Gate, Utah, March 10 (By
A. P)-Belief was expressed by
company officials tonight that to-
morrow all inner recesses of Utah
Fuel Company mine number will
have been penetrated and the fate or
the us miners entombed by the cX-
plosions Saturday determined.
While little hope is held that any
of the men are alive-and a. bodies
had been recovered at 7:40 =. NJ,
there is n possibility that some es-
capped by barricading themselves in
a recess of the mine.
George Wilson, member of n rescue
crew, was killed, and several rescue
men were overcome Saturday and
yesteday while trying to reach those
in the mine, adding to the number
Of casualties.
Governor Charles Il. Maby visited
the mine today with company otfi-
cia!s and the executive afterward
announced that he will issue an APP
peal for funds for relief among the
families of the stricken miners.
Picked rescue crews worked in the
escapeway of the mine through the
day and night in search for bodies OF
victims.
Dead were brought to the surface
for identification and then taken to
the morgue where relatives came
seeking wcrd of their loved ones.
Despite the great disaster, people
here (and it is estimated that every
family is affeCted) have made nc
demonstration other than that of pro-
found grief. There has been no wild
confusion which attends many dis
aStcrs.
Tho little scboolhouse here has
been converted into bunkhousc for
mine rescue crews and the several
teachers, their pupils excused until
further notice, are taking part in re-
lief work.
