pThe man killed was working out. side the mine when the explosion wrecked one of the mine cntrances and a ventilation shaft.

The blast. followed by a fire 1' I K 1 n g underground. occurred about l:45 p. m. at the No. 9 mine of the Jamison Coal and Coke Company in this little north- centrai West Virginia community.

Slate mines chief Frank E. King Sunday described the mine as ll "powder keg."

SECOND BLAST

A second blast about 10:45 Sat- urday night sent flames roaring more than l00 feet into the sky above the ventilation shaft. No one was injured because only security personnel were in the area.

Vice-president Jamcs Hyslop of the Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal Co. which recently acquired the corporate stock of Jamison, said the explosion undoubtedly resulted from ignition oi highly combust- ible methane gas.

He added that an atmosphere text in the mine. only 30 minutes before the first explosion showed the air was clear. .

The decision by King to seal all the mine openings. concurred in by U. S. bureau of mines and com- pany officials after more than three hours of conferences, came about 2 a. m. Sunday.

NOTHING ro BE pour: visibly” moved and e....c'eai...;

that the step removed any sicndor hope that some of the men might

survive. Kins explained that "there was just nothing else we could do."

Emergency crews hoped. in scal- ing the openings. to smother the fire by cutting off oxygen entering the mine.

"The extent of the fire still can't be determined." King said. ”Smothering of the blaze might take several days. possibly longer. But there was just no possible Way in get to those 15 men."

Rescue crews enicring the main portal late Saturday were forced to turn back by dcadly carbon monoxide fumcs.

FOUR IN SHAFT

King said at least fotir of the

men caught in ilie mine appar- ently were iit the base of the 500- foot shaft in which the main elevator was operated when the first blast occurred. He said the whereabouts of the others were not known, but that they apparently were en route to the shaft area because their shift was to end at 2 p. m. Two other men working .1 short distance inside the main portal heard the cxploiiiotfs runibie and felt a rush of air. but hurried out uninjured. On a normal working day. about 200 men would have been below ground at the time of the explosion.

Week-end Of Contrasts For Queen Mother Elizabeth At Ottawa

By DAVE MCINTOSH Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CF)-It was a week- end of contrast for Queen Mother

There was a solemn ceremony at the National War Memorial and a gay state dinner and reception Saturday: divine service at Christ Church cathedral and a happy tel- ephone chat with London on grand- son Prince Charles' sixth birthday

The state dimer and reception at Government House was prob- ably the most glittering social ev- ent in the capital since the Queen Mother and the late King George VI were here in May. 1939

The Queen Mother wore a crin- ollnc dress of white lace worked with silver thread and lrrldesccnt beads, diamond and ruby tiara. necklace. bracelets and earrings, gartcr blue sash and star and rosettes bearing a resemblance to the queen and her husband.

HOPEB TO RETURN

To at least one of the guests, she said she hopes her current five-day visit to Ottawa will not be her last visit to Canada.

Saturday noon, in the only speech of her visit, she expressed a hope that her daughter. Queen Eliza- beth. will see more of Canadians.

Her statement appeared to mean she would like the Queen to pay further visits to Canada. As Prin- cess Elizabeth. the present Queen toured Canada in 1951.

Speaking of the happy children she saw on her 193D tour and of children since 'born into the bright fortunc' 'of this country, the Queeni Mother said:

''I hope that the Queen will have many opportunities to witness their happiness also." '

CHURCH sr-:avi'cI!:

the Quecn Mother went to divine service at Christ Church cathedral.

The cathedral was filled and hundreds gathered on the sidewalk and lawns outside to catch a glimpse of Her Majesty. She wore an ensemble of mushroom pink with matching hat of fine osprey.

Before leaving for church, the Queen Mother spoke by telephone to (he Queen in London, It was presumed that the subject of chil- dren-the Queen Mother-'5 grand- children--wiis brought up together with other family topics.

Unity was one of the themes of the Queen Mother's address the previous day to some 300 senators
