Narrow Escape of a Hundred
Who Were Driven Back by
Gas but They Are Taken Out
Five of Dead Americans,
By Associated Press.
WHSTON. W. Va.. January 20. Five
Americans and seven Italians are known
to be dead as the result of an explosion
of firo damp in tho Pennsylvania com
pany's ininn at Lorentz, W. Va., which
occurred this evening. Immediately af
ter the explosion the mine caved in and
narrowly escaping causing the entomb
ment of all of the miners, estimated at
one hundred. Tho bodies of twelve men
were recoered and it is not known at
this time whether any others met death.
The Americans killed wero: Churles
Boserm.'in, William Bailey, James Scott,
Charles Johnson and Glen Miles. The
bodies of several Italians havo been re
covered, but as thev aro known onlv
by numbers, 'their identity is not possi
ble until later.
Caught in Shaft Bottom
The explosion occurred just as the
day forco was leaving tho mine. Only
a t'uw of tho men had reached tho sur
face when with a terrific report the fire
damp exploded. The mine elevators had
just started for tho top carrying about
twenty men and almost eighty men
were still at the bottom of the shaft.
There was onh one direction in which
the men still in the mine could run, and
that was back into n drift. From this
direction a strong flow or gas slowly
enveloped thorn. Almost suffocated, they
huddled close together and cried piti
fully up the shaft for help. Several
rescuers took possession of tho elevator
car and quickly ran it down to the
drift.
Fight Like Maniacs
There were accommodations for about
twenty men at a time and the foreign
miners, crazed from fright, fonght likp
mauiucs to Iwanl tho car, greatly re
tarding the work. Tho car was finally
loaded and run to the top. All of tho
men at the bottom were brought to the
surface. ,
On the labt two trips the majority of
tho mineis were unconscious and had to
bo carrieil from the car. The five Amer
icans and seven Italians who were killed
were found about one hundred feet back
in the mine. Apparently tho twelve
men had been killed by gas, as the
bodies were not burned.
Abandon Rescue
At 10 o'clock tonight the rescuing
party entered tho mine to look for bod
ies, but after reaching the bottom of
tho shaft had to abandon the search.
Tho officials aro endeavoring to pre
pare a list of the men who escaped from
the mine. The mine was totally wreck
ed by a cavein which followed tho ex
plosion. If any others lost their lives it will
be many days before the bodies aro
recovered, owing to the accumulation
of dirt and stones blocking tho niine
passage. ,
The mino was opened a year ago nnd
has boon in operation sir months. It
was equipped with new and modern ap
pliances. The direct cause of the ex
plosion is not known. "

With the fuel situation somewhat bet

portions, although" at no time since the
tuei lamme became prevalent in tho
southwest has the general progress of
tho camp suffered a setback. On the
contrary, cessation of active operations
for a short time among some of the
producing mines has presented an op
portunity for those engaged in Arizona's
principal industry in this vicinitv to
look about them and see what others
wore doing.
Smelter Output for January
Tie shortage of coke, which caused
temporary embarrassment at the Old
Dominion smelter, has been remedied
and Superintendent Howard and his
able corps of assistants arc' putting
forth every effort to finish the month
with a good run. Coke has been arriv
ing daily since the 17th and no further
shortage is expected. The output this
month, however, will bo considerably
lower than the December output, owing
to the fact that for the first two weeks
of the present month the furnaces at
the smelter were run spasmodically,
only as coke arrived, and it was not
until the 17th that all four furnaces
were again placed in commission.
It is estimated that the output for
this month will be about 1,700,000

An important event in the district
was the completion last week of the
Arizona Commercial railroad as far as
the Copper Hill mine and the shipment
of the first car 6f ore to the Old Do
minion smelter by this means of trans
portation. Manager Snell states that
the road will bo entirely completed

Globe & Northern railroad to the lower
Pinto creek section, which was an
nounced during the last week, is of
utmost importance to the mining indus
try of that section. In the beginning
the greatest benefits of this extension
will accrue to the Mitchell Mining com-,
pany, as the smelter of the company,
now in course of construction three aid
one-half miles from the city, will bo
the first point reached by the road.
The grading has been going on under
the direction of Superintendent Britt of
the Mitchell company and the railroad
company will havo to do little except
lay ties and steel. Tho foundations for
the smelter have been completed and
much of the necessary machinery is on
the ground. It is believed that tho
smelter will be in operation before
spring opens. The Mitchell company
and the Cananea &. Globe company, un
der the same management, havo pur
chased considerable machinery for their
various mines in the district and they
are certain to be an important factor
in tho growth of the district.
Globe Consolidated
Considerable attention has been di

on tho slock was payable and instead

the fully paid stock, or a valuation for
tho $5 paid stock of $15.
The interest is largely confined to Dn
luth, although local stockholders aro
anxiously awaiting the arrival of tho
shaft on the Gem claim to a depth of
500 feet, from wnlch the lateral work
will begin. The shaft yesterday was
435 feet deep and still in diorite and it
is thought that tho 500 level will bo
reached by the second week in Febru
ary. Important developments in the
formation may occur beforo that time.
At the Mallory, or Globe-Boston mino
of tho company, drifting is still pro
gressing on the vein at three different
points on the 400 level, but there have
been no new developments during the
last week. The company has not been
affected by the fuel famine in any way.
Calumet & Globe
Tho allotment of 10,000 shares of
Calumet & Globe stock to Globe during
the last week has been of considerable
importance to local investors, who show
no disposition to release their holdings
at a profit of almost-100 per cent, be-
