MINE RESUMES WORK
SURVEYORS EXPLORING FOR VIC
TINS OF DISASTER.
It is Thought That ALI the Bodies
Have Been Found at
Johnstown.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa, July 14.-Operations
We're started today in every section Of the
Rolling Mill mine of the Cambria Steel
Company. except the Klondike, where the
fatal explosion Of Thursday occurred.
A majority of the fifty men on hand when
the first trip went into the mine were for
eigners. They did not seem to have the
least hesitation In re-enterng the mine,
where so many Of their fellow-countryme en-
lost their liycs. 1t was just o'clock when
the men started in the slope, and in short
time they were at work cleaning up the
rooms. I his wo,k will take some time, and
it is thought it will be after noon before the
first run of coal can be brought out of the
mine.
A full force of men is expected to be at
work before night with the exception of
the klondike, where q large force of men
is employed cleaning up the falls and re-
pairing the brattices that were blown down.
When this is completed the mine inspectors
will make an investigation before it can be
opened again for operation.
The inquest will probably not be held be-
fore next Thursday. No more bodies were
brought out or have been discovered, and
the mine has apparently been explored
fully. Nevertheless, some miners claim
that many bodies will still be found there
IN.
A surveying party went into the mine this
morning to look over the entire mine and
make a last search for any bodies that ma y
be in there. They probably will be in all
day. and when they complete their work the
exploration of the mine will be finished.
The officials at the mine office say that
the only place where any may be found
hereafter is in some of the abandoned work
ings. where some of the men might have
run in trying to escape from the eXplo-
q lie in nj Sfil
covered with rubbish, and 1t is possible that
some bodies may be found under this when
1t Is cleaned up.
With the resumption Of work in the mine
today, following the burial of all but a few
OF the dead yesterday, the intense strain
has relaxed, excitement Is dying out and
everyday affairs are beginning to resume
their normal course.
