S an A ntonio , Tex., Feb. 1.—Eighty-
five miners killed and 75 more buried un
der debris is the awlnl record made by
a dust explosion at the Hondo mines in
Mexico, news of which was received here
to-night.
At the time the explosion occurred
160 miners were at work in the mine,
all of whom were entombed by the shaft
being choked up by falling earth and
stone loosened by the explosion. Just
how many are dead is not at'this time
known, but at last accounts received
here by wire tonight, 85 bodies had been
recovered. It is feared that the death
list will he greatly over 100.
The Hondo mines are located at Coa
huila, at the terminus of a branch of the
Mexican International Railroad, about
100 miles south of Eagle Pass, and are
the most important in that state. De
tails of the disaster are meager, no
