' ' ' -: ' Dead line Sunday Classified is at noon Saturday; 10 a.m. Monday for Monday: other days 5:30 previous day. Farmington, W. Va. U.R) Grief - stricken families of 15 men entombed by an explosion at the Jamison Coal & Coke Co. No. 9 mine kept a lonely vigil today waiting for a raging un derground fire to be choked off so rescue squads can bring out the bodies of the victims. All five entrances to the large mine, which recently had under gone a $4,000,000 remodeling to make it safe, were sealed off Sunday after state . and federal mine ' officials and the United Mine Workers union decided it was not safe to send additional rescue squads into the pit. Worst in 10 Years .The 15 men, all maintenance workers, were trapped in the mine when an explosion, believ ed to have been caused .by an accumulation of methane gas, belched black smoke ,and flames into the sky through the main portal and a fan house Saturday afternoon. Howard Jenkins, a 38-year-old father of four children, was the first known victim. He was kill ed while standing in the fan house. The 16 deaths made' it the worst mining disaster in West Virginia in 10 years. May Take Month Officials said it may take days or even' as long as a month for the fire to be extinguished by shutting off the air, depend ing on how big the fire is and howi much air already is in the mine. They will . keep a constant check oh the atmosphere in the mine by taking air samples at various bore holes to see when it will be safe to crack the con crete seals. - ' UMW President John L. Lewis, who flew here from Washington, said, he "fully un derstood" the necessity for seal ing off the mine. Lewis prom ised to cut re dtape in provid ing relief to the miners' de pendents. The 12 married victims left a totar of 17 children under 16 years of age. The .death toll was kept down by . thfe fact that mining opera tions normally are curtailed for the-week end.
