EXPLOSION ENTOMBS MINERS.
TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY MEN
HIH1KD UNDERGROUND IX
COLLI 10 it IHK AT DAW
SOX, X. M.
Still Sonic Hopes for Their Safety as
Mine was Well Hq nipped and Men
May Have Kseaped dust and Gases,
and There, was no Flic?Relief
Work Commences ut Once.
Dawson, N. M., Oct. 22.?Two hun?
dred and eighty miners, according to
an unofficial estimate, were entombed
In shaft Xo. 2 of the Stag Car on mines
here, when an explosion occurred In
the property at 3 o'clock this after?
noon.
Two men found on an upper level
were taken from the mine and three
Italiar miners were rescued alive
from the debris at the entrance to
the mine. The men rescued were
sparated from the main body of
miners at the time of the ??xplosion
and could tell nothing of it.
Rescuers were called from all parts
of the southern Colorado coal fields.
The day shift working in shaft No.
2 numbered 230 workmen. The cause
of the explosion is unknown. Fire has
not broken out, though smoke was
seen issuing from the second level of
the shaft, it was believed by rescuers
that this smoke came from the ex?
plosion.
Immediately after the explosion all
shifts were called to work of res?
cue and those miners who were em?
ployed in other shafts were put to
work drilling through the debris,
which was aiding in the attempt to
reach the entombed miners. Reports
from the miners did not state at what
level the explosion occurred, but that
the mine shaft was blocked from the
second level.
The mine property is owned by
Phelps, Dodge & Co., of New Turk.
Five mines are connected In the
workings and it Is thought that if
any of the miners escaped death in
the explosion they would be able to
reach safety.
F. Ij. Miller, superintendent of the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company res?
cue department, with a crew of train?
ed rescuers, left Trinidad, Col., on a
special train for Dawson with oxygen
helmets and other apparatus.
By 10 o'clock tonight the rescuers
had penertated more than 100 feet
Into the mouth of the mine and
reached five of the entombed miners
who were alive. They had suffered
much from gas, and were in no con?
dition to tell what happened at the
time of the explosion. Immediately
upon being brought to the surface the
men were given into the care of phy?
sicians, many of whom have arrived
here from nearby towns.
It is believed the explosion occurred
In a stope deep within the mine. From
conditions rescuers have found since
digging within the debris, It is believ?
ed the air supply is plentiful as the
air has improved as the rescuers pro?
gress further towards the centre of
the mine.
Mayor Kinney of this city has or?
ganized a relief camp at the mine,
where rescuers are being cared for,
and where miners us they are taken
out will be given medical attention if
needed. The mayor tonight declar?
ed it impossible to make any conjec?
ture concerning the possible loss of
life. None of the mine officials or res?
cuers on the ground would make any
statement. He said the mine was so
constructed as to permit of the least
passible danger from such explosions.
According to Mayor Kenney no
cause for the explosion has been
learned and it is believed it will not
be known until the miners now en
t? inbed half a mile from the entrance
have been rescued and tell their story.
The uir supply within the mine is
the chief concern of the rescuers who
believe they will be able to reach the
interior of the mine by tomorrow
night at the latest.
in the relief camps near the en?
trance tt mine No, 2 are gathered the
women and children of the entombed
miner's families. They are cheered by
the knowledge that Superintendent
McDermott is among the main body
of imprisoned miners because they
have confidence, as have mine officials,
in the superintendent's resources in
such a plight.
Relief parties from nearby >WM
constantly are arriving and by tomor?
row morning the number of rCMCtiera
in Dawson will be well into the hun?
dreds, all equipped with the latest
apparatus for combating gas and oth?
er dangers of mine explosions To?
night the work of rescue is practical?
ly continuous. As one set of rescue
workers is driven back tor air an?
other takes Its place. That system is
to be continued until the lust of the
men known to have been caught In
the explosion have been found.
CHANCES FOR ESCAPE.
Imprisoned Men Will Have livery
Opportunity.
Bl PSSO, Oct. 22.?A telephone ines
Sags from Dawson, .V M., states that
2K0 miners were entombed In the
Phelps, i lodge & Co., mine there but
assurance was given that there was
hope that all might be rescued.
The telephone message was to F. C.
Soarle, division agent for the Daw
son Fuel Sales company, and said:
"An explosion in mine No. 2 of Stag
Canon Fuel company mine at Daw
son. N. M., caused a cave-in at the
entrance of the mines, entombing 280
men, ln< luding Mine Superintendent
Frank C. McDermott. A large ma?
jority of the men entombed are Ital?
ians. There is every reason to believe
that practically all the men entombed
can be rescued, as several means of
escape are offered from mine No. 2,
which is connected with mine No. 6
by a tum el driven through the moun?
tain and also connects with an air
shaft drive from the top of the
mountain into the mine. This air
Bhaft is equipped with steps and lad?
ders upon which the entombed men, if
they are able to reach the shaft, can
make their way to the top.
"While at this time it is impossible
to make any estimate as to how long
this partcular mine will be shut
down, it will have a material effect on
the coal supply for this territory. The
explosion will curtail about one
fourth the output of the Stag Canon
Fuel company."

school?"His Father's Son." If you
look the paper over carefully, bearing
in mind that there are fifty-two such

a better present could not be chosen,
whether for a young person or for an
entire family.
For the year's subscription of $2.00
there is included a copy of The Com?
panion's practical Home Calendar for
1914, and all the issues for the re
