NINE KNOWN DEAD
 IN MINE WORKINGS
Rescue Parties Hope to Find
 Some Of Other 20 Alive
TRAGEDY IN ". VIRGINIA
Explosion Wrecks Tunnel At EccIcs 80 Men At Work Escape But 20 of Their Companions Were Trap ped By Falling Debris.

Ecclos, W. Va. March g tP-The known dead in the mine explosion 1 here last night was increased to nine today as rescue workers broke through barrier of debris and found eight additional bodies near the shaft bottom of the Crab Or chard Improvement company's No. D mine. Workers redoubled their efforts to press their way into the damaged workings hoping to find alive some of the 20 other miners who were entombed.
 38 Men Escape
 The body of the victim previously recovered was found in the No, 6 mine or the same company, a quar- ter of a mile away into which gases rom the blast swept through con meeting passage. Thirty-nine other miners working in the No. 6 pit es- capped alive although some of them were affected by fumes.
 Robert M. Lambie, chief of the West Virginia department of mines, who Is directing the battle through the blockade of Wreckage in the No. pit, stated that the rescue workers hoped to find that some of the en- tombed men were able to take care of themselves by erecting makeshift brattices as protection against gases.
 Rescue Gangs Ready
 Around the mine mouth gathered about two score rescue workers waiting their turn at their task deep in the ground below. Further back outside a roped off area gathered groups of visitors, mostly from other nearby mines. The frantic search of news from the men below that followed the shock of the blast last night had subsided into resigned waiting.
 1S4 Killed In 1914
 EcCles was the scene of one of the states worst mine disasters in 1914, when 1S4 men lost their lives in an explosion. At least one of the sur yivors of that explosion, Slim Rus sell, was among the men entomhed in the No. mine by last nights ex- plosion.

 The shaft in mine No. is S20 feet deep and the rescue workers today had proceeded to within 30 feet Of the bottom of the shaft when 1 further progress was blocked by 1 debris.
