Fellows hall today a group of intelligent miners in chargeof the I remains of their dead brothers were discussing tho disaster One of them a man who holds an important position posi-tion with the company said I believe be-lieve there were 300 men In the mine There were 385 men and boys underground under-ground that day and not more than eightyfive escaped I base this belief be-lief on the number of checks issued and tho number of men employed The men left in No 4 are down in the Dip I rooms about 500 yards back from the entrance This h s the generalbelief of tKc 1 miners who know every detail of the property and whether right or wrong I in their belief it will take time and faith to set them right WHAT MINERS EXPECT There were a dozen or more bright faced intelligent I men listening

places of1 I ihose who have become exhausted by their long hours of work Frank Cam I eron of Castle Gate foreman in the t mines there headed an ttxplorlng party going Into No 1 through No 1 this afternoon RESUMING OPERATIONS As to the resumption of operations by the company Ajislgtant Superintendent Williams tonight said nothlnsvould be I done at any of the properties of the company until after all funerals had I been held The men at the other camps were almost all related in some way to those here or were personal friends and I desired to attend the funeral At mine No 1nrork could be started tomorrow If II necessary while many parts of No 4 could be worked at any time The disaster would uiuto no difference t with th output at iiJ t aon and ns I for the big Government contract these t could be easily handle wIth work bo ing resumed at any time now in ten days It might be two weeks not to exceed a month when No 4 I would be entirely clear of debris For threo days and nights now the tramway leading up the hill to the mouth of No 1 lias been a roadway for corpses but this afternoon the cables wero back in place and cars were moving mov-ing back and forth taking timbers and supplies to the mine NUPTIALS POSTPONED Evan Jones was to have been married tonight to one of the popular young women of the camp but for the second time his nuptials are postponed In 1S9G he and fiancee resided at New Castle Colo where an explosion occurred In tho mines there killing two of her brothers The wedding was put off from time to time and would have been celebrated tonight but for this catastrophe catas-trophe in which two of Evanss brothers broth-ers were entombed The grief of these two young pbople Is terrible and yet their distress is infinitesimal as compared com-pared to that of the hundreds of orphans or-phans and widows distributed under the roof of almost every house along this canyon for two miles or more QUESTION OF DAMAGE If the higher officials of the coal company com-pany have considered the matter of flamagcs to the widows and other dependent de-pendent relatives of the dead they give no Intimation of the fact But that the matter has been liscud d and has percolated per-colated down through = t1c subordinate officials to publicity there is not the least doubt In conversation with an employee of the company who ranks close up to the assistant superintendent it was brought out that the company would make an offer as soon as the sub ject was appropriate to discuss What this will be of course cannot be ascertained ascer-tained or determined at this writing WHAT MAY BE PROPOSED The frequency with which the sum of 5500000 was referred to leaves the impression im-pression that this amount had already been decided upon and that when tho opportune time came this tender would be mode This comes from a man who has the confidence of the officers of the I Pleasant Valley company I The secret service men of the coal company and the railroad company I which are practically one and the same thing have been on the ground since I the catastrophe and their mission here is one that many a man has I asked getting an unsatisfactory answer an-swer at every turn COMPANY IS ALL RIGHT There have been discussions and as I portions to the effect that this disaster j with the damage to be awarded by the I courts litigation and the enormous ex pcnses In caring for the dead and the loss in accounts to the store department I depart-ment would break the company financially finan-cially While it will be a heavy blow and one which the company will feel for years to come the idea of financial ruin is abburb to those who know of Its resources and profits BIG FUNERAL TRAINS I Victims of the Mine Horror Shipped to Their Late Homes Scofield Utah May 4The one big feature of today was the funeral trains and rarely it Is said has there been anything resembling them One was made up for the bodies of those who were to be burled south and cast of Sprlngville another to carry all the I bodies to points north of Sprlngville Slowly the two great trains steamed 1 up the canyon until the limit of the railway lines had been reached A

their fears were truc WOMAN BADLY HURT One woman stood with a milkpan full of her husbands personal property In the shape of a watch and other things usually carried by the male sex Clutching the tin pan in a convulsive way she saw the head of the house caned out gave a shriek and fell being be-ing rather badly injured LITTLE TOTS WATCH TRAINS Down through the pines and the snow came little tots to watch the I trains as they passed gazed sadly at tho blackrobed children on the other I side of the gulch and feel glad that their papa was not among those whose caskets were flowercovered HEARTRENDING SCENES One little woman who had been married mar-ried but a short time stood behind a small trunk which appeared to hold her all now he was being carried I away shrieked hysterically and fell over An unusually large casket was I shouldered by ten stalwart men and out of the house on the hillside there I camo a solemn funeral procession of at least a men the greater proportion of whom were women and girls rind I even the men who watched the proceedings I pro-ceedings and had no kith or kin with the aflllcted were visibly moved 1 FOLLOWING TIIEIR DEAD 1 I In nom place whole families left their homes to follow their dead to the place of Interment Some were yet in a semistupor others were hysterical LONG FUNERAL CORTEGE And BO the grim scenes went on as the big engines and tho

are grateful We simply came up out of good will and to help bury the dead FUNERALS TODAY The question as to funerals Is a knotty one at the present time Most of the bodies have been out of the mine from two to thro days and ns only tho most ordinary measures to preserve them can be used It can readily bo seen what danger there Is in holding the bodies much longer It was arranged last evening that the i Knights of Pythias and the Odd Fellows Fel-lows should bo burled at once and that I i joint memorial services would be held here today Jn Odd Fellows hall at 10 oclock FINNS PECULIAR PEOPLE

engineer at the Cullen Cul-len has had twelve years experience as an engineer in and about coal mines and was at the Almy Wyo mine explosion ex-plosion In the eighties when thirteen I miners were killed Mr Knight has d given much attention to the question of l mine explosions has worked with mine Inspectors and his testimony at I different Investigations as to causes of explosions carried much weight I Mr Knight said yesterday that he 1 I did not take any stacIe in the theory I that the Scofleld disaster was started by an explosion of giant powder I I requfrcs a blaze he said and not a concussion to Ignite gas and then the blaze went from the gas to the dust which added to the force o the explosion explo-sion He had seen dust Ignite from miners lamps when there was no gas I present but In such cases but little damage was done Gas he said was nearly always present In a greater or less degree I was continually being found In pockets In the wall and the only preventive against explosions was to keep the mines thoroughly ventilated Gas could ho easily detected de-tected and safely tested for with the Davy wire gauze lamp as when gas Is present the flame runs up and assumes as-sumes a needlelike appearance Amine A-mine or part of It might be free from gas and a few hours afterward If the ventilation was stopped it might be In a dangerous condition Tho afterdamp after-damp he said that followed an explosion explo-sion was more dangerous than the explosion ex-plosion Itself for with the oxygen of tho air being consumed it was impossible impossi-ble for the victim who might have escaped the force of the explosion to breathe the air and live Ventilation he said was tho one great desideratum Then too the mine should be either kept well cleaned from duslr the dust should be kept wet down With these conditions observed there was no danger whatever but when they were disregarded there was danger all the time as has been often demon stated and property with great loss of both lives One Victim from Elsinore TRIBUNE SPECIAL Elsinore Utah May 1Tue I remains of William Nellson who was killed 1 In the mine disaster at Scofleld were brought to this place
