recovered ROdieA.

The Disabled niinex-Ar Quiet, but the
Most Practical and Yixiiant Meas
recovered Bodies.
Since l o'clock yesterday morning, when
the Yellow Jacket, kentuck and Crown
Point shafts were again closed, and steam
turned down each one of them, as before
that unfortunate reopcning, their situation
has remained the same. The boilers have
been made to generate steam to their fullest
extent, and at the Yellow Jacket, wood is
being consumed at the rate Of about a cord
per hour. The mines will not be opened
again probably before next Monday morning,
or at any rate until it is evident that the FIRE
is undoubtedly ex~tinyuishSd. Then, and not
until then, the a~ll-impor.ant poin, Of how
great is the damage done to the mines will
be fully solved. Looking demonstrated facts
fully in the face, the damage by the FIRE and
consequent eaving, in the Kcntuck and
Crown Point mines, is very great between
the 800 and 70O-foot levels, without spccula.
lively conjecturing on anything further. As
10 the Yellow Jacket mine, where the fire
commenced, il Is hoped the damage is not
so great; but OF that, as no one has seen
the interior OF il since Friday noon, it is
particularly difficult to Judge. Five bodies
still remain unrecovcrcd in the depths Of the
mines. At the time the disaster occurred,
Daniel OtNeil, George Edwards, Thomas
Laity and A. Reinay were at the 6OO-foot
level; but their bodies not being found
there by the parties who hurricdly explored
day before yesterday, they are supposed
to have tried to escape through the floors
above, or somo other part Of the mine.
Martin Clooney was working at the SOO-foot
level Of the Kentuck, and is probably still
there. These are all that are known OF, and
there is no tangible reason for supposing
that any more than the thirty.seyen victims
we have already definitely mentioned re-
suited from this truly terrible disaster.
