    THE HEADLINES OF THE BIRMINGHAM AGE-HERALD NEWSPAPER DATED TUE.. FEB.,
    21, 1905 SAID IT ABOUT AS WELL AS ANYONE COULD IN IT`S HEADLINES`  



    `MORE THAN 100 MEN ENTOMBED IN MINES FRIGHTFUL CATASTROPHE AT VA CITY`  






    `Virginia Mines Explosion in 1905 Rates Amongst Worst` 

     Headline from The Bessemer Alabama News Thursday January 18, 1973

    Article by Danny Ausbun



    Excerpts by     Alma E Harings





    .    ..The Birmingham New of Feb 21, 1905 had the story at the top of page 1.  



    `Over 100 lives probably lost at VA Mines.  ..........Little or no hope
    were held out for the entombed men but the rescue work goes on day and night.
     The death role included a total of 112 miners who died in the coal
    mining accident in Virginia City in Western Jefferson Co .  All the
    miners inside the mine west of Bessemer died in a `dust explosion` and from
    the resulting release of toxic fumes.  The cause was believe to be an
    improperly loaded charge lad by one of the first shift workers.  Our
    ancestor, William M Dixon  was listed within the death roll as one of
    the unfortunates still entombed in the VA mine.  His name was listed 
    as:  W.M Dickenson.
