Mayor Leads Rescue Work.
Mayor 33. L. Kinney, of this city, has
off&nized a relief camp at the mine,
where rescuers are being cared for and
where miners as they are taken out will
be given immediate medical assistance if
iieeded. The mayor declared that it was
impossible to make any conjecture con
cerning the possible loss of life and
that none of the mine officials or res
cuers on the ground would care to make
any statement- He stated that the mine
was so constructed as to permit of the
least possible danger from such explo
sions. According to mayor Kinney, no cause
for the explosion has been learned, and
it is believed it will not be known until
the miners who now are entombed half
a mile from the entrance, have been res
cued andtell their story of the explo
sion. So far, none of the men rescued
had been able to approach the air shaft
or any of the workins within the mine
which would have proved a means of
exit through another shaft, and the fart
that none of tho other entombed miners
lias been able to make his way out has
led to the belief that all have been cut
off from the exits.

DAWSDN, WITH SW POPULATIBH,
S
DAWSON Is a bit of English New
castle set down in New Mexico.
The mines of the Stag Canyon
Fuel company are scattered over a
scries of folds or hogbacks In the
northern New Mexico topography. A
total of 18 tongues are talked by the
coal miners and their families in the
Dawson field.
Dawson is strung along Rail canyon,
which answers for a main street. At
one end of this canyon is the Amer
ican settlement, with the offices of the
company, the stores, churches and
homes of the American Officials and
foremen. The railroad runs Into this
American settlement around a curve
in the canyon and ends abruptly with
the station for a bumping post. From
the American settlement to the -mouth
1 of the No. 2 mine. Rail canyon winds
Its slatternly way, dodging to one side
to get around the washeries, tipples
and screening plant with their black
conveyer boxes crisscrossing from one
building to another. Along the length
of Rail canyon are scattered squat and
unpalnted houses of the native labor,
close to the mine mouth too close
when an accident like the cavein "Wed
nesday afternoon occurs, and .the na
tive women seek the mine mouth with
the same instinct that makes a hurt
boy seek his home.
Background for Traced? Scene.
To the left of Rail canyon and form
ing a background for the scene of the
No. 2 tragedy, is the hogback into
which the No. 2 tunnel burrows Us
way like a mole after a meal. The en
trance to the No. 2 mine is on the face
of the hogback, near the toe of the
mountain where it slopes off to the
canyon level. The entrance is near a
lateral fold in the upended earth
which forms a right angle with Rail
canyon just beyond the mine mouth.
The heel of another mountain shoves
down to the edge of Rail canyon and
the No. 4 mine mouth opens on the
same canyon, as does the fateful No.
2. On the opposite side of the moun- I
tain Into which No. 2 tunnel drifts Is
to make their way into the mine hy to
night. So far the rescuers have only been
able to -enter the workings with oxygen
tanks, on account of the ':oal gas.
In the relief camps, situated several
yards from the mine, are gathered the
women and children of the miners.
Relief parties from nearby towns are
constantly arriving. The ressue work is
proceeding by shifts. As one group of
workers is driven back for air. another
takes its place, so that the work is con
tinuous. That system is to be continued
until the last of the 230 men known to
have been caught in the explosion will
have been found.
Believes Dust Caused Explosion.
Opinions as to the cause of the ex
plosion differ. It was first asserted
that black damp ignited and exploded.
Later the fact that at this time of the
year the mines in the adjacent southern
district of Colorado become dangerous
from the prevalence of coal dust which
no amount of water seems able to keep
under conrtol. led to the belief that
the same condition might have caused
the disaster.
The presence of general superintend
ent William McDermott in the mine
when the explosion occurred Is consid
ered a substantial theory of the dust
explosion.
It is believed he entered the mine to
take precautions against an explosion
because of coal dust and arrived too
late, sharing the fate of his men.
Miners Rush to Scene.
The first report of the disaster
thrilled the coal camps of Southern
Colorado, only 125 miles away, about 4
oclock yesterday afternoon. It reached
the office of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company at Trinidad and orders
to forward the company's mine rescue
car ioiiowed immediately. Within two
hours F. L. Miller, superintendent of
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company,
was southbound with a trained crew of
rescuers.
EAST LAS VEGAS SENDS

East Las Vegas. N. M., Oct. 23. Lo
cal undertakers today received orders
to send to Dawson all the coffins they
could furnish. Twenty-five coffins were
sent out by express this afternoon and
more will follow on other trains, ex
hausting practically the entire supply
on hand.

the No. 5 mine mouth, which connects
with the No. 2 tunneL The air shaft
which pierces the mountain at its apex
extends down to the connecting tunnel
and pours pure air Into it. From the
opening of this air shaft Pike's Peak
may be seen on a clear day.
Mar Be Likened to EI rao Plnzn.
The layout of the Dawson mines and
the scene of the great mine accident
may be roughly compared to the posi
tion of the buildings flanking San
Jacinto plaza in El Paso. The plaza
proper is the American settlement with
the stores and depot. Rail canyon
would correspond to Mills street run
ning from San Jacinto olaza into Pio
neer plaza. The entrance to the Shel
don hotel would then be the mouth of
the No. 2 mine, the rear entrance would
be the mouth of the No. 5 mine and
the entrance to the Mills building the
No. 4 mine mouth. The alrshaft from
the top of the mountain would then
Connect with a turlnel which, to carry
out the figure, would run from the
main to the rear entrance of the Shel
don hotel, coming down from the roof.
The system of mining in use at Daw
son is by triple main entries, double
cross entries room and pillar excava
tion of coal and robbing On retreat
when the district is exhausted. The
width of the main and cross entries
and air courses is nine feet, the height
of the air courses six feet six inches,
the average width of the rooms is 24
feet, and the length is 250 feet. The
coal is hauled by mules from the rooms
to the partings and from there by elec
tric motors to the surface. The mines
are sprinkled by a pipeline system
with hydrants at short intervals and
there are fire bosses on duty all the
time to prevent any spread of fire.
Host Population of 5000.
The population of Dawson is more
than 5000. of which it is estimated that
two-thirds are of foreign birth or ex
traction. These foreigners are scat

which connects these two mines. This
air shaft was sunk at a point one mile
north of the entrance to the No. 2 mine
a number of years ago and measures
12 bv 12 feet in the clear and is 250
feet deep. A fan of large capacity was
Installed at the top of this air shaft and
forces fresh air down the air shaft and
into the connecting tunnels.
Three Avenues to Escape.
This air shaft makes It possible for
the men to escape in three directions.
They may be able to climb out this air
shaft by means of ladders on its
sides; they may be rescued from the No.
5 mine by way of the tunnel, or may be
reached through the entrance to the
No. 2 mine Itself.
Have Effective Rescue Crew.
The first aid corps and rescue crews
at the Dawson mines ar,e among the
most efficient in the southwest. These
crews are organized from among tho
miners of the various mines compos
ing the Dawson group, and they are
paid by the company to attend nightly
drills and instructions by the chief
surgeon and his assistants. These res
cue crews are equipped with oxygen
helmets, pulmoters, first aid kits and
other life saving appartus.
Foremen and Bosses Americans.
All foremen and drift bosses in the
No. 2 mine are said to be Americana
and there are a number of American
miners at work in this mine. There are
18 nationalities represented at Dawson,
the majority being Italians. There are
Slavs, Bulgarians, Mexicans, Japanese,
and many other north of Europe na
tives employed at these mines, besides
the negro colony.
The Stag Canyon company has 400(1
tons of coal on hand here at the pres
ent time, which is expected to supply
the local demand until the other mines
can be reopened. The average daily
output of the mines is given as 7000
tons, of which the No. 2 mine produced
onefourth.
MINE NEARLYPEJ&FECT
SAYS C. H. DODGE
lice President of Phelps-Dodge Com
pany Sam Tunnels at Davrnon Are
Well Supplied With Air.
New York. Oct. 2S. New York offi
cials of the Phelps-Dodge company,
when informed of the explosion in the
mine at Dawson, N. M., declared the
i
mine so nearly perfect in it3 construc
tion that it was inconceivable that
there could be any loss of life.
"The mine is one of the model ones
of the country," declared Cleveland H.
Dodge, vice president of the company.
"It was as safe as engineering could
make it. None of the tunnels are more
than 50 feet deep that was the depth
of the one where the explosion oc
curred, I believe, jind they are so
full of exits and ventilating shafts
equipped with electric fans that we i
have regarded it imDOsaible for the
tleadly coal gas to accumulate. Unless
the men were killed by the explosion
itself It is inconceivable that there
can be any fatalities.
"The mine has been operating with
out an explosion."
JO. E. SHERIDAN REFUSES TO
GUESS LIT CAUSE OV DISASTER
Albuquerque. N. M. Oct. 23. Jo. E.
Sheridan, until recently state mine in
spector of New Mexico, today declined
to hazard an opinion as to the cause
of the disaster at Dawson.
"No experienced miner would hazard
an opinion without inspecting the mine
first," said Mr. Sheridan this morning.
"As shots aro fired when all of the men
are out of the mine, it is evident that
the explosion must have originated
from fire dnmn and been extended by
coal dust. It is not probable that the
was any gnat accumulation of gas as
the Dawson mines are among tho best
djuipped for ventilation and safety ap
paratus In the world.
THINK MAXV WILL BE
BROUGHT FROM MINE ALIVE
Pittsburg. Pa., Oct. 23. Officers of
the Pittsburg station of the bureau of
mines expressed the belief this morn
ing that many of the miners entombed
in the Stag Canyon mine would be
brought out alive, if they had not been
killed yesterday by the shock of the
explosion. Records of tho bureau show
there are in the Dawson mining region
no less than 100 men trained in mine
rescue work and their rating Is among
the highest west of the anthracite coal
country of Pennsylvania. They are fully
equipped with the necessary apparatus.

laxative, which helps end a cough.
This makes more and better cough
syrup than you could huy ready made
for $2.50. It keeps perfectly and tastes
pleasant.
Pinex i3 a most valuable concen
trated compound of Norway white pine
extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural pine elements which are
so healing to the membranes. Other
preparations will not work in this plan.
Making cough syrup with Pinex and
sugar syrup (or strained honey) has
proven so popular throughout the United
States and Canada that it is often
imitated. But the old, successful mix
ture has never been equaled.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation." Your druggist has
Pinex or will get it for you. If not,
send to The Pinex Co., Ft. Wayne, Ind.

With Watery Blisters. Also on Neck
and Face. Itched So Could Not
Sleep. Used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment Six Days. Trouble Left,
19 Roach St. Atlanta. Ga. "A few
months ago I had some kind of skta eruption
that spread until my limbs and feet were
covered with blotches aad
watery blisters. It looked
like eczema. When the
trouble reached my neck and
face I was almost driven
frantic It itched and stuns
so intensely that I could not
sleep or wear any clothing on
the affected parts. I used
almost everything without re
lief. After two months I commenced to use
Cuticura Soap and Ointment and after two
days I noticed improvement and in six dhya
the trouble left. My skin was fair and
smooth again aad the eruption never re
turned. "My cousin was a sufferer from pimples,
known as acne, on his face and seemed to
grow worse all tho time. I recommended
Cuticura Soap and Ointment to him and
now bis faco la smooth for the first time in
three years and he owes It all to Cuticura
Soap and Ointment." (Signed) Walter
Battle, Oct. 7. 1012.

a gentle anointing with Cuticura Ointment

scalp diseases when all else fails. Cuticura
