Explosion in Century Shaft,
- Near Fairmount, West
Virginia.
RECOVERY OF BODIES SLOW

About 75 Still Jn Mine and
Prospect of Survival
Is Slight.
1TOKKUXG. W. Va.. March 23.-A re
rt (nn the Century mine at 3 o'clock
this morning states that nine dead men
hvt bee recovered. Sixteen men who
wer overcome by pas were brought up.
Titer will recover. There now remain In
the mine 12 men whose fate is unknown.
FAIRMONT. W, Va., March ?2. Fifteen
w rc known to be dead. 25 Injured and
frMi S to missing: and believed to be
tfend x the result of an explosion of pas
ta tfc? slmfl of the Century Coal Company
mi e'tttwry, a small mining town, situated
& mftos south of FairmounU on the Bel
IknpxwTec. Buckhannon branch of the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad. The explosion
iuk place at 4:30 this afternoon, but.
owtttg to the telephone wires bejng put
ut of commission by the high winds of
in4ft). details arc lacking, and the names
f the victims, six of whom are known to
tK- foreigners, were not secured at a late
h.ur iwntrht.
Majority Had Left Mine.
The Century mine, which is owned by
SImw Brothers, of Baltimore, is one of
n largest independent operators in
North West Virginia. Over 250 men are
tMptoyed dally In the shaft, and, had the
-xn4os!on been an hour earlier, the loss
f life would have been appalling. As it
was. there were but a few remaining In
tbe shaft, the main body of the miners
Nfcvlng quit work for the clay. The plant
fan which furnishes air for the shaft was
partially wrecked by the force of the cx
j4oku. but was repaired Immediately,
nd within an hour aftor the accident.
Superintendent James Ward had a relief
SMg in the mine.
HriiiRiup: Up Dead and Injured.
Thc first trip out brought ten men five
dfHMl and live badly burned. They were
-nii?hi in the main heading near the bot
tom of thc shaft. Thc living could give
no details of the explosion, saying they
wre tm their way to the surface when
tin explosion took place behind them.
A second expedition immediately wen
down and explored the main heading,
wMch wa. found to be uninjured by the
'iploaion except that the brattices were
Mown out. Four more bodies were found
In this heading, and 20 wounded men were
making their way toward the bottom of
the shaft, and were brought to thc sur
face by the rescuers.
' Fourteen subheadings at midnight were
M unexplored, and Superintendent "Ward.
who was still in the mine, sent word out
that, owing to the prevalence of gas, he
was undecided at that time whether or
not to push the work into the subheadings
fw an hour or so. Thc mine, however,
was being readily freed from the fumes
of thc explosion by tho fan, and the work
of rescue will be pushed on throughout
the night.
Scvcnty-Fivc Still In Mine.
Immediately following tho explosion, the
nftUials began a house-to-house canvass
to ascertain the number of men to bo
found on the surface. This resulted In 160
feeing- found who had come out previous to
xhf explosion. It is believed that there
re many more outside who have not yet
leen accounted for. If this is not true.
there are still 75 men In the mine, with
lit tie hope ot their being alive.
Relief trains bearing physicians were
hwrrlod from Fhlllpp! and Buckhannon
and the doctors immediately took care
of tho wounded in the office building.
ivnich was transformed into a temporary
hospital.
Women EuRcr to Enter Mine.
The families of the dead, -wounded and
missing men gathered quickly at the
openlnc and the pathetic scenes always
witnessed at such accidents were enacted.
Several foreign women insisted upon go
ing into tlv? mine, and were only prevent
ed by force from entering the cage. Many
or tnc women are still hovering about the
opening ut midnight, refusing to go into
the camp store or other places to escape
the biting cola.
