Work Progressing Slowly In Recover
ing Entombed Miners.
MoNoNGAH, w. VA, Dec. 9.-Three
days after the explosion of black damp,
which wrecked mines number 6 and 8 OF
the Fairmont Coal Company at this
place, So bodies, or only about one
eighth of the total number of victims
have been brought to the surface, while
less than one-fourth of the total number
have been actually located, the others,
being 300 and 400 in number, lie In the
unknown section of the vast workings
in the bowels of the great hills.
These INDICATED bodies, to find which
hundreds of brave men are constantly
risking their lives, are seriously men-
aced by two destroying elements, by de-.
cay in the overheated, humid and vapor
poisoned atmosphere of the mines and
by the fires that are smouldering here
and there in the workings and from
time to time bursting into flames. Stead
ily the chance is ebbing that these bodies
will be brought to the surface. This is
the situation this morning at the scene
of the most frightful catastrophe In the
history of the coal mining industry in
America.

der the statute Of Virginia, by consent
Of the commonwealth attorney, it is
