Cherry, Ills, Feb. 3.--Further ex-

II will be many days before the 200
dead bodies still in the mine can be
recovered. All the tunnels in the in.
terror of the mine are blocked as the
result OF the falling In of the roofs
and this debris must be removed be-
fore the bodies can be reached. The
work of clearing the tunnels is ex'
tremely hazardous as the tunnel roofs
continue to cave in, endangering the
lives of the workmen.
II Is believed there are about 100
bodies on the seco.c level and as
many more in the bottom level. The
fire, which caused the disaster and
killed upwards>of of three hundred min
ers Is still smouldering in the second
level, $50 feet west of the main shaft.
Behind the blaze are 100 bodies.
