Men were sent below at once to their aid, and recovered William Humphrey alive, but terribly injured. The dead bodies of two others were also recovered, but three of the party are still buried in the mine. They are Ulysis S. Alderson, Hutchinson and Wilson. At 9 o'clock the most violent explosion of all occurred blowing out the top of the shaft and wrecking the top works. Chief Mechanic A. M. Michaels was at the mouth of the pit at the time and was seriously injured. He died three hours later. Another explosion took place at 3 o'clock in the afternoon but with no fatalities. The mine will be flooded. |
