City, May 2.?Two hnn4red or luoro lives were lost in the ex- i plosion of mine No. 4 of tlio Pleasant Valloy Coal company, at Scofleld, Utah. One hnmlrod and thirty-seven bodies have already been reeovered. The work of rescuo is still progressing, nlthongb there is no hope that any of the men not accounted for oseajKxl death. The scene of the disaster is just outside this place on the line of the Rio Grande Western railroad. The explosion, which occurred in the interior portion of the mines, is attributed by some to the blowing up of a number of kegs of powder. The com|Kiuy lias two mines known as No. I and No. 4. The explosion occurred in No. 4. As fust as bodies are reached they are taken to the boardinghouso and other company buildings where they are dressed and prepared for the coroner. In each building are from 10 to 2.1 bodies which are lfiid upon long rows of benches. .. A special train bearing tho soriously wounded is run from Seofiehl for Salt Loke. ^ News of the disaster received in Salt Lake gnve the list of killed at .'a, but if was known in the evening that the full stent of tho disaster was far greater. It appears to lie one of those accidents that are common to the very best regulated mines and against the best endeavors of the.most competent superintendents. >luny Have Narrow Ksenpo. W. (J. Woilson, mine owner, was in the lower level. He said: "There was a rumbling noise in the distance, followed by a sort of wave that can hardlv bo described, bar that is km >wn to all who have been in explosions, and I have been in several. I told my partner that an explosion lmd occurred. We ran to the tunnel with six others. They had noticed the Strang occurrence. We were none too soon 111 leaving the mine, for the after damp reached us some !1 or 1 minutes before we reached the open air, almost suffocating us." The after damp delayed the work of the rescuing party, but the ma.K?iitn<1o of the di"???ter soon became apparent. Jill the men oil the raise known as "Pike's Peak" st?x?d close together. One mail elapsed his anus iyv--?"*faS son. The men reaJi,?v''? *-*vtnsclvos by coming at*'1 ',l the dirt, hoping t deadly gas that was fast Mi ll'.Lli.- lUU" Bernard Donga 11, an 1 engineer from V ^ hn<l just returned t<>T74sJJ4WMl'Tv\v minutes before, was found and his men lay dead around him. Work of Itesciic Ilp"iiis. As the foul air had cleared from No. 1 the work of rescue began and it was anon seen that many of the miners of No. 1 hud been suffocated. The lower level hud beon warned of the explosion and made their eseai>o lie fore the pisemi air hud reached them. Cars were takun in and the dead were loaded into tfcem and brought to the mouth. As the bodies wore brought out and recognized bv their respective families the lamcntains were most henrtrending. | This mine has been worked for over 20 years and has the reputation of being one of the best ventilated and protected In the west. State Mine Inspector Thomas stated that la* inspected the mine three weeks ago and believed it entirely safe at tlint time. It had never been in had condition and was free from gas and as the eonl was loaded willi shovels there lias not been a large accumulation of dust. Nine-tenths of the men killed were Americans and Welsh. Iigurcd .Man's Story. Henry Taylor, one of the injured men, aid: 'I was preparing some track out on the (lump when I started to the mouth of the tnnuel to get some tools. Suddenly there was an awful report and at the same time a black cloud filled with rocks, bore down on me like a streak of lightning. The next thing I knew I woke op with a man jiouring brandy down mv throat, and 1 saw the lioys lying all around me, moaning for help." J. M. Beattie of Seofield, who is the .j >. < |n I, .-VliCi (Ill 112 i 111*rival rliirt morning that it was thought the shaft in No. i hud been wijxvl out ml mnnv wore killed in No. 1. The scene around the mine was beyond description. Women, children and friends crowded around, weeping and wailing, excited lieyond control, waiting to see if the next body brought out was their loved one. The financial loss to the company cannot at present lie estimated. This is regarded. ns the worst disaster that has ever occurred in this part of the country. The nearest approach to it was the ] Southern Pacific, Almy (Wy.) explosion j five vears at?", when over 100 men were ] killed. Astronomers at Tlioinastoii. TfioMARTON, Ga., May 2.?Astrouoim r W. W.

J ii <- i | f( London, May* 1{The following dis- i . patch has been sent >y J*>rd Roberts to S( the war ofiioo from liloeinfouU^n: tl "The Boers uuulo Very persistent at- {| tacks around Thaba NVhu Saturday and Sunday. But the position which the right (Rnndlo's) division bolus is i ji very strong and he had the assistance of ; P Gordon's and Dickson's brigades, the vavairy under French uiwl .?tuiiih.T)nr. C lien's infantry brigade and a body of ^ mounted infantry under Ian Hainilton. Pole Carew's division has returned l'roin Dewet's dorp." Lord Roberts also cabled additional l< casualties sustained during the lighting lt of April 17 around Thulxi N'Chu, consistinjt <>f Lieutenant Grady and two enlisted men killed and one officer and I' i three enlisted men wounded. c Neither the commander-in-chief nor j< ! the correspondents' dispatches throw j any light upon the plans being made to | c oast the Boers from Tliaba N'Chu vi- | v einity and how long before a definite C move is made to assert suprein- f aey is only a surmise. In the moan- a time, the Boers are remarkably aggressive, and especially in view of the. largo forces opposing them. A special dispatch from Thuha N'Chu says they t made a daring attempt to cut off a Brit- u isli convoy which got into broken ground between Thalia N'Chu and Dewet's dorp, opening lire from the adjacent J* hills. In the nick of time, General Bra- *' bazo.M, with a strong force of yeomanry, v returning from Wepenor, arrived on tin* scene ami extricated the convoy. The same dispatch describes the dispo- 11 sit ion of the forces at-Th.iba N'Chu a < ' follows: v General Ilundle is covering the advanced ramp, facing the Bo rs' position j to the cast, where they are strongly entrenched. t I General Ian Hamilton and General (] j Smith-Dnvrien occupy strong positions ! t'l the road to the north. Another dispatch says a company under G au ral Hamilton located the Bocs J to the north and an artillery duel o> curvd without result. I 'flu-re was numb artillery firing without much casualties. It is hardly likely " that the forces will face each other ill 1 very large numbers until rein fore aiienta arrive, as both sides seem to he waiting ft .r't n? ?ps.

London, April 80.?The latest news i received from the Orange Free State indicates that though the Boers have ' evacuated Thaba X'Chu, they have only ' done so in order to occupy stronger po- ,j sit ions. a < )n Sunday General Dewot made an ?' effort to turn General French's eastern 11 flank, which was only foiled by the car- " alrv after vigorous maneuvers.
