Rescue Parties at Work, but En- tombed Men Are Thought Dead. —Disaster May Be Worst in History of Coal Mines. Primero, Colo., Feb. 1—Over a hun dred men are believed to have been killed by a terrific explosion in the Primero mine of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. Fifteen bodies have been recovered ate efforts to reach the interior work- ings, cut off from the outside by the caving of the main shaft. Three men were killed at ‘the mouth of the mine slope by the force of the explsoion. | Both fans with which the mine is equipped were shattered and it was impossible to enter the mine until were repaired. As soon as the fans were repaired, Gen. Supt. J. F. Thompson and a rescue party entered | | by the main air shaft, but were un- | | able to reach the main shaft, which | is completely blecked. The party re . < turned to the surface after securing | thing in all wool goods at the five bodies, which were badly burned. | A porty equipped with oxygen hel: | 4 pf mets replaced this party. The work: | ¢& lowe t prices, ings were reached through the air |$ shaft and are now being searched | ¢& A | for more bodies. > 4 Little Hope fer Men. There is little hope that any of the men in the mine are alive. The com- pany clerk reports that 79 lamps are missing, and it is sure that number of men are entombed. Many of the miners, however, say that 150 men are missing. Most of the victims are Slavs and Hungarians. Electrician Will Helm is known to be among the missing. The camp is a scene of indescrib able horror. While every ablebodied man is taking his turn with pick and shovel to clear the shaft, the women and children, kept back by ropes, have gathered about the shaft, weeping and calling wildly upon their loved ones who have not been found. Members of the ‘first rescue party say that the effect of the explosion un- der ground is indescribable. The bodies recovered were horribly burn- ed and unrecognizable. One body was impaled on broken timbers. To Open Cherry Mine. Cherry, Ill, Feb. 1—Suppressed ex- citement prevails in Cherry among the relatives and friends of the 18¢ odd miners who lie dead in the St Paul mine. Today it will prebably definitely whether be known mine will have to be kept closed. All arrangements have been pleted for re-opening the shaft. While carpenters were busy with the superstructure, a young Italian} woman stood in the snow mute and motionless for two hours, leaning on the iron rail about the main shaft and gazing tenderly at the cement cap that has covered her ‘husband’s tomb for two months. The day before it was decided to re-open the mine, a woman attempted to pry off the concrete lid from the shaft. Mine Boss Waite, one of the 20 rescued alive from the mine after one week, tried to persuade the wo. man to desist. She flew into a franzy and struck Waite savagely. Although 74 posthumous children have been born in Cherry since the mine fire broke out on Nov. 13, thus replacing lost in the fire, the doctors are having hard work to prevent the sending away of thesé children. com Many mothers are alarmed for fear | a pestilence will sweep over the vil lage when the putrefying bodies of} the men and 54 mules are brought to} the surface. Tons of disinfectants are on hand to prevent infection. The men folks of Cherry are almost as unanimously in favor of destroying the bodies in the mine galleries as are the women against.
