The Pacific coast also was lashed by one of the | worst storms in recent years which | drove all shipping to shelter. Fuel Supplies Exhausted Miners and business men of the Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania, have been driven to the mine culm banks for fuel, in the midst of the heavy snowfall. There was a 10-inch-snow- fall, with drifts five feet deep in the anthracite regign. So severe was the combination of the driving snow and a near-gale, that all air mail service was suspended between New York and _ Chicago.

The bodies of three other miners were taken from the work- ings a number of, hours afte: blast, while three more escaped alive. Those trapped in the mine were fighting a fire at a point some two miles back from the entrance when the explosion occurred and this fire, still raging over a small section, was a handicap to the work of rescue. A possibility that the burning area will be walled off, if the 15 men are found to be dead, was said to be in pros- pect. This move, it was indicated, would be made in an effort to smother the fire in order to reach the bodies. Blast Was Terrific The explosion, which took place just after the day shift‘of about 700 miners had left the mine late yes- terday, was terrific in the region of the fire. This was evidenced by re- ports of the rescue workers, who s: that a string of mine cars had been blown to pieces by the force of tha », blast es and children of the 15 men hat} were huddled about the top of the -|shaft in the wet, heavy snow which the | started to fall late yesterday and con- 000, and was today.
