IN EXPLOSION Cave-in at Black River Junction 2 Des, Being Probed By Officials Mine officials were Wednesday investigating all angles of Tues- day night's disaster at the Recon Hill coal mine, near Black River Junction, in which Oscar Stiles, 40, Duwamish, was killed; BK. M. Van Slyek, mine superintendent, probably fatally hurt, and Tom Kerfus, Renton, badly burned and injured. Korfus, a miner, was the only nmrember of the trio able to extricate himself from the cave-in that followed a terrific blast of gas damp. Van Siyck and Stiles were crushed and burned and buried partially beneath the sagging walls and timbers. Korfus, in describing the tragedy told of setting off a dynumite charge 1,600 feet inside the mine. The three men were making their way back to the scene when an open lamp on one of their hats set off the gas damp. A terrific muffled report rolled thru the ntine shaft and streaks of flame swept the walls and timbers, searing the bodies of the men. The walls fell, partially burying all of them. Korfus, who has been burned twice previously in mine explosions, revived dufficiently to dig himself out and crawled thru « tortuous passage on his stomach to the mine 4 opening. Groups of miners soon formed, but i remained for Elmer Jackson, Negro, to enter the mine and bring out Stiles, who died in. his ‘arms, Jackson saw the flash of the éx- plosion and summoned help. Two Seattle firemen, J. J. Murray, 506 E. 78th st, and B. A. Igou, 5014 13th ave., aided in making a heroic rescue of Van Slyck. None of them were equipped with gas masks. A. L. Knouse, mine president, had left the shaft, but 2 few moments before the blast, and returned to in a new coal vein pocket.
