Story by The Associated Press CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - The owner of the mine where 12 men died after an explosion says hundreds of thousands of dollars are pouring into a memorial fund the company set up. In an interview with The Associated Press today Wilbur Ross says ordinary working people are giving ten and twenty dollars. He says a competitor in the mining industry - Massey Energy of Richmond, Virginia - donated $250,000 dollars. Ross says he knows money won't replaced loved ones but 100 percent of the money will go to the dead miners' families, including $2,000,000 dollars donated by his company International Coal Group. ICG runs the Sago Mine in Tallmansville where the miners died after the blast early Monday morning. To Contrinute to the Sago Mine Fund Call: Toll-Free (800) 811-0441 Copyright 2005 Associated Press.
