II MINERS STILL

BLAST WRECKED
Theories Regarding Fate of
Men in West Virginia
Shaft Conflict.

bV OUttCU TfCSS
FAIRMONT. w. Va, May .
Seventy.seven miners were en-
ton1bed today in the Everettsville
mine of the New England Fuel and
Transportation Company. forty-two
hours after an explosion wrecked it
Saturday afternoon.
Sixteen bodies have been recovered
and sixteen men escaped alive.
There were 100 men at work when
the explosion occurred.
The fate of the. entombed men
was matter Of conjecture today.
While certain experts despaired of
rescuing them alive, it was pointed
out the mine was a very long one,
and that some of the miners might
have found refuge in isolated Sec
tions and protected themselves from
gas and fire by erection of impro-
Tised brattices.
The mine, one of the largest in
the field, reaches for three miles
underground. Most of the gas and
smoke produced by the explosion
and resultant fire was in the
southern end of the workings, and
1t is thought at least some of the
entombed men might have found
refuge in the northern section.
Rescue workers, however, are
making slow progress in penetrating
the mine, being forced to erect brat
tices as they go along.
