Tne Smuggler-Union is the largest
mine in the Teliuride district, its out
put being about two-thirds of the total
from the camp, it is owned by New
York and Boston capitalists.
Men Have Probably Perished.
Persons who have come into town
this forenoon from the Smuggler-
Union mine, which is 4 miles distant,
between Marshall gulch and the moun
tains, say the managers have almost
abandoned hope of finding any of the
imprisoned men alive. Every en
trance to the property is a scene of
activity and the willing hands are
only stayed by fear of. certain death
if they entered the smoke filled levels.
Every few minutes men make a
rush inside, only to crawl back help
less and strangling as they meet the
foul smoke which fills the tunnels and
levels.
The officers refuse to talk, either in
giving information or expressing opin
ions as to the likelihood of early res
cue of the unfortunates yet in the
mine. They will only say that the
work will be continued until every
body has been recovered, and will be
hastened in the hope that many may
be found alive.
The telegraph and telephone wires
were destroyed by fire and the only
means of communication is by mes
senger.

Meager Reports at Denver.
Denver, Nov. 21.—Only a meager re
port concerning the disastrous fire at
the Smuggler-Union mine, near Tellti-
ride, Colo., bus been received at the
local office f«f the company. It is not
known here this morning whether the
loss of life will reach 100, as feared,
or whether any bodies have been
found in addition to the 22 which were
recovered and identified last night.
The damage caused by the fire in tho
los's of buildings is estimated at $1S.*
000, but the mine will have to be
closed for at least a month.
Did Not Possess Safeguard.
The mouth of Bullion tunnel through
which the Smuggler-Union mines are
worked is located not over 50 or UO
feet from the burned buildings. Tho
smoke from the start seemed to be
drawn to the mouth of the tunnel and
concentrated at that point as if there
were no otner place of escape. This
was due to suction, as the air in the
mine was warmer than that outside.
On account of the suction movement
the majority of the mine and tunnel
entrances have Iron doors ready to
lower in place at a minute’s notice to
stop smoke or fire. Unfortunately the
Bullion tunnel did not possess one of
the safeguards. It appears that much
of the stupefying effect of the fire was
due to the flames tn the converter
house, which was saturated with oil
and filled with the darkest smoke im
aginable.
The tunnel is situated about mid
way bet.ween the top or apex of the
mine and the ninth level. It is an in*
termodlate working tunnel. The sev
enth level l,75o feet below the sur
face and the ninth level, where be
tween 76 an 1 96 men were working
When the fire occurred, was 1,260 feet
below the surface.
