West Fork mines of the Pocahontas Collerles Company, wnere Ian explosion occurred late Wednesday afternoon.. The bodies of these men were recov ered from the mines as tbe result of heroic work of a band of 35 men con stituting a rescue party that worked Incessantly through tbe hours of tbe night and day. It waa not until 7:30 o'clock lasi evening that the rescuers reached a point near Paul entry, where the ex dIobIoq occurred. Toward the middle of the evening the hope waa expressed that all the bodies would be recovered by midnight. The authorities anticipated the fearful extent of the casualties by or dering a carload of coffins and burial supplies, which are now on the way. The order la being rushed at Blue- field and the burial supplies, which Include 60 coffins, are expected to reach Pocahontas early tomorrow morning. The West mine has over 700 acres of "worked out" or abandoned work ings. This fact alone made it difficult for the men to get to the part of tbe mine where the explosion occurred. All the brattices In these old worV hngt had been blown out. ' The scene of tbe disaster Is over two miles from the drift month. In the operation of the telephone system of the mine a number of boys are employed, and the greater number of these are said to have met death in the explosion or were caught by the afterdamp.
