Anaconda, Ken necott, Cerro de Pasco Inspiration, Phelps Dodge and Andes all dipped to new low levels for the year, most of the losses being held to a point or less. Early reduction in dividends by some of the high cost producers is looked for.

P-At least IA persons lost their
lives yesterday In an explosion at

bodies have been recovered, most OF
them burned badly. No hope is held

at his controls.
Three years ago a similar explo-
sion in the Wenceslaus mine took
seven lives. That explosion earned
the shaft a reputation as "unlucky"
among the miners Of Silesia.
The explosion occurred when a
large gas pocket was suddenly tap
ped during blasting late yesterday.
The fumes spread through the
shafts so quickly that there was
little chance for anyone to escape.
Rescue work proved increasingly
hazardous and finally was abandon
