Ing the bodies OF the victims. During
the night the rescuers reached the iif-
teenth level BY noon the seventeenth
level will be penetrated and IT is here
that large numbers OF dead VIII be
found. The miners believe the awful
explosion occurred In the seventeenth
level from the fact that the slope and
entries are becoming more choked as 1t
Is approached. Here the bodies OF the
unfortunates probably received the full
shock of the explosion and II Is prob
able that the bodies Will be badly
burned and mangled. 1t has been de-
rided that the explosion was caused by
black damp which gathered In small
