behind which the ten bodies were
located
The exact cause of the explosion
has not been determined. The efforts
of company and state mine officials so
far has been directed toward reaching
the entombed men. Hope has
practically been abandoned that any
Of the four missing men are still
alive.
The explosion occurred about 7:3o
o'clock last night and was local in
character, affecting only that part OF
the mine in which the ten men were
working. The mine is of the shaft
type and the chamber in which the
men were working is located about
two miles from the mine entrance. "
The force Of the explosion wrecked
the supports and brought down a
wall of coal and dirt between the
ten men and their only means of
escape.
Other Miners Escape.
Other portions of the mine escaped
and the workmen quickly made their
way to the surface. Efforts i'm
mediately were made to reach the en-
tombed men and E. G. Girod, a State
mine inspector who arrived on the
secene early. took charge OF the res
cue work. Rescue crews OF the FLICK
company were called and men equip
ped with modern apparatus were set
to work effecting an entrance to the
blocked mine.
The rescue crews worked in three
shifts throughout the night and sue
ceeded in reaching the chamber where
the explosion occurred early this
ous caVe-ins, which hampered their
work. Physicians hastily summoned
from nearby communities waited At
the mine entrance throughout tne
night to render aid to the men when
the rescue crews would reach them.
OF Local Nature.
A statement issued at the Office of
the Frick Company at Scottdale early
today said the explosion was of a 10
cal" nature and that all men working
in the mine at the time had been ac-
counted for a live and uninjured, ex-
Gates is a small mining village in
Fayette County, near the West Vir-
ginia border, and practically every
male resident in the town is employ
ed at the mine. Scenes of wild confu-
sion followed the news of the explo-
sion. as men, women ana children
to the mine snd to sisn s1isnas
among the victims. The tense crowd
Of watchers stayed about the mine
entrance during the long hours OF
the night, and as each body va,
brought forth there was . forward
rush to identify the victim. Then
while some Of the women and chill.

SPECIALIST MAKING
SURVEY OF MALARIA
WORK MAY SAVE THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS. COOPERATION
OF COUNTY URGED.

DIR. NJ. A. Fort, OF the state board
OF health, has arrived in Dawson to
make complete Health Survey OF
Terrell county. He was sent here by
the state board of health and the state
department of education. Terrell is
one OF a very few counties in the
state to be selected by these depart
ments for this health work
DR.. Fort will be in the county for
several weeks and will give especial
attention to the sources of malaria
and hookworm.
He will do a good part Of his work
in the schools and when finished he
will have determined the malarial sec
'tions in the county and at that time
will make suggestions as to how we
may rid the county OF the disease
which is costing us so much every
year.
In this work he will receive the CO.
operation of all the people. Many
counties are spending thousands OF
dollars on such projects. SO Terrell
is fortunate to be selected for this
survey. Moreover, DIR. Fort is an au-
thority on malaria and hookworm and
should the county spend thousands of
dollars a better man could not be
found to do the work. The fact that
the state is making the survey for us
must not lessen our interest.
1t is believed that tht survey will
greatly improve health conditions in
our county. At least, that is its pur-
pose, and as predicted above the prof.
ect will be heartily supported.
