266 Miners, Including Mine Officials, Entrap
ped Under Ground by Explosion at Three
O'clock Wednesday Afternoon 14 Dead
and 23 Injured Were Taken Out
(International Prew Service) I
Dawson, N. M., Oct. 23 The gov-'
ernment mine rescue car arrived
this morning from Trinidad to help!
in the rescue of the 2M men who!
were entombed below ground at '.'
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. It Is
believed by mine experts that most
of the imprisoned miners are still
allive as little gas remains in the
workings and the big fans have
cleared mowt of the smoke out of
the mine. There was aoine fire in
the mine during the night but there
was little danger from it.
The reneuens penetrated as far as
the fourteenth level at 10 o'clock
this morning. This is a dintance of
a mile into the side of the big,
black mountain. They are still far

Charles August Anderson, aged CO
years, 3 month and 27 days, came
to the United Stages when a boy at
the age of 16 from Sweden, going to
Chicago, thence to Iowa. In 1887 he
removed to the HI nek Hills in South
Dakota. In I'jOI be came to Alli

In 1S71 Mr. Anderson was married
to Alice A. Clayton, to which union
were born a on and a daughter and
a grandcun and granddaughter, all
of whom mourn his losj end loo.c

from the remaining victims. The
rescuing parties worked all night In
shifts, as fast as one party was ex
hausted another took its place. The
shafts are f filled with timber1) and
fallen debris and it may be many
l ours before the main body of men
Is rwwhed. Whether they will be
found Living or dead is a mat'er of
uncertainty. Fourteen dead and
twenty-three Injured have been tak
en from the mine so far.
So far none of the men rescued
had been able to approach the air
shaft or any of the workings within
the mine which would have proved
a means of exit through another
shaft, and the act that none of the
other entombed miners lies been afo
lo to make his way out of the mine
leads to the belief that all have
been cut off from every means of
ecaie.
