It was resumed\nMonday, after the task had been finished of sealing up the fire in No. 5\nshaft. Good progress is being made,\nbut it. will likely be several days before -the slope is clear enough to allow the removal of the bodies. '\nPirty-six men were caught in the\nexplosion. One escaped, injured.\nTwo bodies were recovered at the\nkunckle, main slope, within half an\nhour of the accident. One was found\nat the main hoist at 9 o'clock Thursday morning. It was obvious to the\nrescue party that there never was\nany hope of. saving any of these ten\nmen. Thirty-two men are thus still\nunaccounted for. fjfe*\nFour,sh'fts are now being used, and\nmeanwhile officials are working more\ndiligently than ever in an effort to\nsolve the mystery of the explosion,\nand to lead the workers to the remaining 29 bodies. It is feared that\nrecognition of the corpses will now\nbecome impossible, and while every\neffort is be'ng made to take out every\nman as soon as possible, it may be\nsome days before this task is completed.\nAn important conference of government inspectors and local managers was held last night.

Shortly after an expedition down No. 1 level had re\nvealed ten bodies, smoke was observed, and officials conferred. Their\nfears were found to be unjustified,\nbut they are s'ill on the qui Vive.\nIt is believed the smoke had lain\nfrom ^he former fire which has now\nbeen sealed off. Danger of blown\nstoppings keeps the possibility of\nfire always present.\nGood progress is being made in\nclearing the slope.\n..K-vft-!--wap r.ati-o-ucced this monn-ing\nthat a determined effort would be\nmade at once to take out the ten\nbodies in No. 1 left off No. 1 level\nMonday night.\nSUNDAY\nA whiff of carbon monox'de shortly, before nine o'clock tonight gave\nlocal folk moments of anxiety over\nGeorge Murray, mine manager, whose\ncondition is becoming the worry of\nthe camp.\nHe was working with others at\n6 left. -Stopping work elsewhere is\nthought to have forced, the gas\nthrough a leaking stopping. Thre?\nmen were knocked out, including\nFrank Bond and Waster Salampas.\nThey were the first to be gassed\nsince Thursday. It was only \"a whiff,\nand men are working in the same\nplace without apparatus. IpT^\nThey were removed immediately\n.and first aid rendered. There is\nnothing serious about a \"knockout\"\nif the patient is treated in time.\n-Physically tired after superhuman\nefforts, the incident afforded George\na humorous relief. He recovered\nmost comically, and says he would\nopen a bootlegging jo'nt if he had\nthe recipe. The boys warned him to\nkeep out of the Princeton beer parlors-in future.\n- George is the outstanding hero\namong an army of heroes. Words\ncould not describe Mb work. He has\nbeen an inspiration, and more, for\nin actual accomplishment he has\ndone more than it seems possible for\nany man. He must be physically\nweak from a recent operation, but\nhe averages nearly twenty hours a\nday. As one man sad, the camp\nthinks \"Volumes have been written\nabout Napoleon, but George Murray\n\u2022has done more In a day than Nap-\noleon did in his lifetime,\"\nSATURDAY 4 P.M.\nAt 4 p.m. Saturday when the day\nshift came off and were relieved by\na full contingent good progress was\nreported.
