Throughout the hours of darkness as are lights shed a pallid illumina- tion over a weeping, grief-stricken crowd at the portal of-the mine res- cue workers brought forth the blast- charreg victims of the tragedy. The only intimation of the disas- ter was a long tongue of smoke which shot from the fans used to ventilate the mines, The ‘exact cause of the blast remained a mys- tery early today although officials ot the Kemmerer Coal company in a statement issued late yesterday de- clared a blown out shot was respon- sible for the detonation. Another theory is that a careening “trip car” jumping from the. track on the 1,700-foot level where the explo- sion occurred had caused a spark which ignited a cloud of dust or gas, Victims Suffocated. The victims were suffocated as they sought safety from the poisonous gases. Thirty-seven of the 137 or 138 miners who were entombed by the blast have emerged from the mine alive.
