Arnold Mine, Earlington, Kentucky, 2 by gas explosion, 4 by powder explosion, and balance by mine cars, electrocution by wire contact, fall of roof and coal at face. In looking over the last of killed reported, it has found that many are due to carelessness of the party killed and, strange as it may seem, quite a number of these killed are old and experienced men.
