Nearly 100 men were entombed by
an explosion which wrecked the Stews
art Colliery Company's mine, seven
miles from Thurmond, W. Va. 4 i
There were about S0 men worki
in the

mine when the explosion -
curred and there no hope what-
ever of taking any out alive. SO
great is the heat and smoke from the
fire raging in the mine that it has
been impossible to reach the bottom
of the shaft in the mine cage.
From the best count obtainable,
113 men went into the mine in the
morning and during the day 33 came
out, leaving S0-in the mine.
The explosion according to reports
received was caused by dust in the
mine. TTvery effort is being made to
get to the men-who are entombed in
the mine, but there is little hope that
any of them are alive.
A heroic attempt to enter the mine
as made during the evening by three
men and when they started down in
the bucket found it impossible to de=
