Later-The one or two mine officialsthat
are left of the I win Shaft say that IL Is hard
TO estimate the number in the shaft, though
they will reach not less than eighty and
from that to 120.
The accident Is similar to the
Avoudale disaster. which occurred on Sep
tember IL, 1863. when 100 miners and
laboEers lost their lives. The rcscuing party
have cleared nearly nine hundred feet OF
the debris away, and are proppiDg as they
go along. Tie report sent out that the
body Of Superintendent Langan had been
found is not true. A this hour there are
no signs Of finding the men. 1t may Ike
until morning before they can be reached.
At IL O'Clock tonight a force OF sixty
men from Deighboring coal ool!ieries went
into the shaft to aid the recruiting party
until they are relieved toinurrow morning.
The men are all old experienced miners.
No Information can be added late tonight
that has NOT already been fully gone over.
The work Of the rescuing parties is heing
pushed forward with all the rupdity
possible. and very little is being made
known tonight to the outside world 10y
those III charge.
II is more than proba BILE that some of
the bodies may be found earlier than
covered in a week. should tie rescuers
encounter gas or further ewes.
At midnight tonight after looking over the
situation carefully the rescIing party de
cided that the best thing 20 do was to drive
a gaDgway through the coal from the Clear |
SpnDg collicry and Joining into the Twin |
Shaft. when il is expected possible to locate |
the eDtonbed men, |
The work was ut once begun and is being |
pushed with all the speed possible Four /
shifts of men. each comprising five ax- |
miners and laborers, are en- |
pioyed in this task. which is expected to |
consume at least three or four days |
In the meantime the work Will be pushed |
by the rescuers in the fatal shaft also |
1t is now the opinion OF the most able |
miners that It will take several days to |
find the entombed men aud that ii is an |
to recover them SCORER.
At 80 u. IN. q gang OF men belonging !
to the rescuing party who went in at |
O'Clock last night came to the surface and |
that they were making headway,
though it was slow work. The roof con-
tinues to settle and more or less danger is |
imminent. |
They are within 500 feet Of the cave-in.
Gas appears to be accuinulating. which |
makes the labor difficult and delays the |
work to a great extent. No hopes are now |
entertained for the safety of any of the men. |
