Chattanooga, April 2.—Investigation
today revealed the fact that the Nel
son mine at Dayton, in which the ex
plosion occurred. Is not on fire and has
not been. Workmen are engaged ter
day excavating the debris and all the
bodlea will be recovered. The funerals
of those recovered were held today. In
all there were 18 killed, leaving 58 or-
pnafis and 14 widows.
George Swafford, a negro, one of the
miners reported injured yesterday,
died this morning.
The miners claim that the explo
sion was dne to failure tat sprinkle
the mine on Siimlay. The prevailing
opinion seems to be that It was cann

gas In the mine. ThA officials of the
Dayton Cca! and Iron company state
that they have not progressed suffi
ciently In their Invi t in. t ions to make
a full statement, hut they claim that

have always been willing to comply

Associated Brens representative that
there had been no premonition of the
explosion and that the mine, previous ,
to the occurrence, seemed to be all
right. He said that he knows the mine

fumes noticed In the mine are due to
the combustion and will dlMppear
when ventilation is restored.
