The dead number twenty-five, and injured eighteen, some of whom may die. The list of the dead is as follows:
Although the legislative session ends today, it is pretty certain the act will be passed looking to the protection of miners. It is claimed the White Ash mine was not properly ventilated. Superintendent Duggan says, the explosion occurred in a room on the fourth level, over which the danger line had been drawn. Two men, it is alleged, went over the line with an open lamp, contrary to orders. The victims of the disaster are being buried this afternoon, making the largest funeral ever seen in New Mexico. Note: The official number of dead from this disaster was 24. |
