NONPARTISAN _ MINE BLAST DEATH TOLL - REACHES 14 Ten More Were Found Alive Last Night, Two Miles Back in the Mine FIVE ARE STILL MISSING Rescue Workers Are Hopeful That Some of These May Still Be Alive Eccles, W. Va, March 10.—()— The known death toll in the Crab Orchard Improvement company mine explosion reached 14 this morning, when three more bodies were locat- ed within the workings where 29 men wi entombed Monday. Ten were found alive last night and five are still missing, but com- pany officials and rescue workers were hopeful that at I¢ast two of the five still lived. They were work- ing ina section of the mine Isolat- ed from the blast, it was thought. Were Unharmed The 10 men brought out alive were in excellent physical condition, and in relating their experiences | und telling, of their thoughts while en- tombed, all agreed that they never once gave up hope of rescue. P. J. Davis, night foreman, was the lead- er of the little band, and to his ex- perience and coolness the men cred- ited their safety Under the direction of Davis, a barricade of lumber and stones, plas- tered with mud, was thrown up, and behind this the men found p-otection from the poisonous fumes. Questioned as to how they spent the 26 hours of their imprisonment, the miners said they talked for the most part, but that nothing was said ubout their possible fate if help did not reach them within a reasonable period. Located Through Signs The men were located almcst two miles back in the mine and rescuers wore guided to the underground cell hy sigas, tne first of whieh, found from the shaft, rea@’ “come ond right.” Beyond the sec- ght another sign read, “third roo.
