The top of page 3 has a one column heading: "19 MINERS KILLED, 9 STILL ENTOMED" with subheads, photo and list of the victims. (see) Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news of the day. Complete 1st section only with all 34 pages, light toning at the margins, a little spine wear, generally very nice.
