The day shift of miners had not been long la the mtne before a most terrible explosion was heard. The day shlftcomprlsed 150 men. and their relatives and friends rushed to the pit to learn the extent of the disaster., The explosion had caused the earth and rock to fall, and the mouth of the pit was closed. Not a single man of the 150 In the miDe had made his escape, and it is feared that thcro has been great loss of life. Hundreds of miners in the vicinity have volunteered their services, and the work of clearing the pit mouth is being pushed as rapidly as circumstances will allow. All around the pit are gathered women and children, hoping for the best yet expecting the worst. The mine officials hold out all the hope possible, but it can easily be seen that they fall to make tho mothers and wives believe that there Is much ground for it.
