35 MINERS KILLER
SEATTLE, Nov. 17 A terrible catastrophe occurred at
the coal mines at Ravensdale thirty-five mile southwest of this
city today which resulted in thirty-one miners losing their
lives. The men were shut off from escape by a dust explosion
which effectually closed tin* mouth of tunnel where they were
working. A big force of rescurers were immediately set to
work to dig the imprisoned victims out and so far six bodies
have been reached. The first three were still alive when the
rescurers got them, although unconscious. They were revived
bv aid of the pulmotor and will recover. The next three were
dead, and tin* twenty-eight still entombed must surely be dea<l
I by this tine*. The families of the victims will receive *in the
neighborhood of $124,000 from the State Industrial Commis
sion under the provisions of the Workman’s Compensation law.
Most of the dead are Europeans.
