alongside Of the plane which ID 6lled with
culm. When this can be cleared it will
give the searching squads means Of enter
ing the breast which divides the Gaylord
from No. 5 of the Delaware and Hudson
colliery. Other men are at work boring
through the pillars of the mine with the
hope of finding the men, but up TO this
afternoon very little headway was made.

100 men were working against great diff

hasten to the foot of the shaft on account

officials are very reticent, but it was made
known by some of the rescuing party that
over 10 acres in the side workings Of the
Gaylord fell during the day and more 10
likely to come down during tonight.
The surface in the nighborhood Of the
disaster 10 beginning to crack, and seams
can be fully eight inches in width. The
