Fairmont WV mine disaster....



Item # 572785

March 18, 1925

THE OMAHA MORNING BEE, Omaha, Nebraska, March 18, 1925

* Fairmont, West Virginia mine explosion
* 1st report


This 12 page newspaper has a very nice banner headline on the front page: "33 MINERS ARE KILLED IN GAS EXPLOSIONS" with subheads. This tells of the Barrackville mine 61, Bethlehem Mines Corporation coal mine gas explosion at Fairmont, West Virginia.

Other news of the day. Light browning with minor margin wear, otherwise in good condition.
