CUMBERLAND, B. C. — Shortly

28 miners were known to have
perished in the Canadian coal col

here, after the explosion of fire
damp at 8 o'clock Thursday night
and that many bodies had been
brought out at 4:30 A. M. Little
hope was held for the 20 or more
others who remained entrapped.

were rushed to the mine hut it

off from the part of the working
in which the miners were entarp-

rescuers would work at great
peril, as a deadly gas was believ

mine.

men, many leaving large families.
