The earth for roils Is cracked and smoke and flames rushed from the shaft through the breaker's house. Only one man In the air shaft escaped. The crowd Is kept back from the mouth of the shaft by the extreme heat The dead number between fifty and sixty. Of the miners who entered the shaft on the day shift but three are known to have escaped. Two of these are so badly Injured that they will probably die. At 11 o'clock two more miners were rescued through the air shaft, but are terribly burned. The attempts at rescue are useless on account of flames from the burning mine. All of the entrances to the underground works are blocked by debris and It is not thought possible that any of the entombed miners are alive. Smoke and flames from cracks In the earth indicate that all were burned or suffocated. CASE Mapping! BE RESCUED ALIVE. WASHINGTON.
