Everything fs being done that can be done by rescue crews, some of whom at great risk went 1,000 feet back into the workings; by govern- ment officials, who are rushing re- scug cars and equipment to the scene; by the eapesias Red Cross, which is swiftly mobilizing ite forces of ald and supply for what- ever may betide. The frightful thing about it all is that the smoke and gas which pours from the vents and sifts through the debris renders rescue hopeless and helpless those who would work at rescue. Near the mouth of the pit huddle a group of women—one woman, one, two or more children, for every man below there in that inferno of gas and fire—waiting. RESCUERS DRIVEN BACK BY FIRE, CASTLE GATE, Utah, March 8. —(United Press)—Fire has broken out in Utah Mine No, 2, where 173 men were entombed by a series of explosions this morning. Rescuers who broke through de bris at the entrance were hurled back to the surface by a dense cloud of heavy smoke, which was soon belching from the mouth of the shaft in’ clouds that rolled into a thick pall over the town, With this new development every vestige of hope that any of the en- tombed men could remain alive was give up. However, shortly after 4 o'clock the mine -superintendent, accom- panied by a rescue party, started into the shaft. All wore heuvy gas masks. It is doubtful now if even the bodies can ever be located. If the fire continues all will be cremated in a furnace that could leave noth- ing but ashés. The force of the explosions were so terrific that the belief is ex- pressed by rescue workers that the men were possibly blown to pieces by the firs®blast. Air shafts were all severed, the entrance js buried in tons of de bris and deadly gas {9 escaping from fissures in the tunne!, until it bas been impossible for the 15 rescue parties working at the mine to lend any assistance. It is doubtful if entrance into the wrecked tunnels can be made before arrival of the nearest mine rescue car, which was to have left Butte, Mont., this afternoon. Hundreds of relatives of the ill: fated miners took up thelr watch at the portals soon after news of the disaster spr Guards have area necessary for work of rescuers, to prevent the horde of anxifous watchers from paralyzing activit- ies.
