ENTOMBED COAL MINERS ARE CREMATED
Hanna. Vu., July 3.-Tho Union
Paclfle mines. In which 23G coal
miners are known to bo entombed,
are now roaring furnaces, and all
hope of lescuing the men Is aban
doned. The fire bus reached tho Jow
er levels and escape Is Impossible.
Flro and smoke prevented the explo
ration of any part of tho work and
all efforts are now directed toward
extinguishing the fire. A crowd of
frantic women and children cluster
around tho entrances and many of
the rescuers have hoe" overcome
with the foul gabes escaping from the
burning pits. . , . , .
The bodies found on the first levels
yesterday and left temporarily In tho
mines to be removed after tho others
wero found, have undoubtedly been
cremated, as the fire Is now raging
where they were left lying. No fur-
ther explosions have occurred, but
tho accumulating gases In thu re
mote chambers will result In a horri
ble catastrophe) very soon If the
flames are not checked.
The entlro available working force
of tho Union Pacific Is here and every
effort is being made to subdue tho
flames, before the mine Is completely
wrecked.
Many of the minors were Clilnoso,
others were Finlanders and many
were Americans, having large fami
lies. Tho scenes at tho offices are
pitiable, In the oxtrome. Kntiro fam
ilies wero working In thg mines and
aro certainly lost. Widowed moth
ers with ono or two littlo children are
tho sole survlvora of a large and In
dustrious family and in many cases
the mother stands alono awaiting
news from the mines.
