ONE MORE BODY
TAKEN FROM MINE
JOHN WILSON FOUND BADLY
BURNED i'm THE TWELFTH
LEVEL OF THE MINE.
Body of HIS Partner, John GrimshaW,
Working in Same Place, Not Yet
Located-John Ciark's Body Found
In Thirteenth Level But Bodies of
Others Not Recovered.

Diamondville, Wyo., Dec. 6.-After
sixty hours of untiring labor in an eff
fort to recover the bodies of the eigh-
teen men who lost their lives by an ex-
Plosion in the No. / mine here Satur-
day the remains of John Wilson have
been brought to the surface.
The body was found ut the twelfth
level in a badly burned condition. His
partner, John Grimshaw, an English
man, who was working at the same
place, has not been recovered. John
Clark's was found at the thirteenth
level. There was no sign or q fire hav-
ing touched the body. Clark died from
the effects of the damp. Wilson was
an American and single. Clark was an
American, aged As, and leaves a wife,
but no children.
1t is believed the other bodies are in
the lower levels, and upon the magni-
tude of the su~bterranean stream which
was opened up by the explosion and
which is pouring large quantities OF
water into the mine depends the ques-
ton as to whether or not they will be
recovered for days or for weeks. So
far the pumping plant in the mine has
been unable to lower the water. In the
meantime the debris which blocks up
the passages in the lower levels be-
yond which lie the bodies of the vic
Tins is being removed.
State Mine Inspector A. q. Bradbury
has so far refused to give out any
statement as to the cause of the dis
aster and says that nothing will be def
initely known until an investigation is
made. This promises to be rigid in the
extreme owing to the large number OF
mine holocausts in the state during the
past few years. The present disaster
will also result it is said, in more
stringent laws regulating mining OPP
erations, and prosecutions will follow
if it is found that the laws already in
force have not been complied with.
