Show Those Buried miners. Wilkesbabbe, .January. 18. There is no change in the condition of affairs at stope No. 1 of the Nanticoke mine, where the miners were entombed. The sensational report spread through the valley yesterday that the exploring party had discovered a bright light ahead of them, is denied on the best authority. The work of clearing up the gangways oontinues slowly.. Nothing had been discovered up to noon to-day, nor have any signs of the buried men been found. A considerable stream of water is now running along the gangway where the men are at work, and another rush of sand is feared at any moment. From all appearances this morning, it will be weeks before the bodies of the buried miners are reached, if they are ever recovered. It is possible, however, if the victims were caught in the gangway arid overwhelmed by the flood, that their bodies may be reached at any timer |
