[Pfess Association — Copyright.]

New York, Feb. 3. The Colorado mine- victims are Slavs, Italians, and Hungarians. The shaft of the exploded mine is hopeless, ly shattered.' The first rescuers wore oxygen helmets and penetrated a short distance, but were utterly exhausted. Twenty-four bodies were brought to the surface. They were so charred as to be unidentifiable. The only survivor was found beneath earth and timber.
