NANTICOKE RECOVER
EFFORT:
Seven weeks ago
yesterday - ill fated Friday - the great disaster by which 26 men lost their
lives, occurred at Slope 1, Nanticoke. Since then, every effort that human
ingenuity could suggest has been made to rescue the unfortunate victims, but
thus far without success. The fact is, the worst has not yet been told, and it
is now doubtful if the bodies of the 26 men will be recovered for months yet,
and it is just possible that some of them will never be taken out. ... To
sacrifice the lives of experience miners for the purpose of recovering dead
bodies would be the height of folly, and it is doubtful if the company
officials will ask the men to do work they would not do themselves. (condensed)

NANTICOKE RECOVERY
EFFORT:
Telephonic messages
from Nanticoke last evening stated that no work was done in the mine yesterday,
but that no official announcement had been made that the attempt to reach the
bodies would be abandoned. The officials are deliberating as to the best course
to pursue. It is generally believed, however, both in Nanticoke and elsewhere,
by all experienced miners that all attempts to reach the bodies will be
useless, and that the work will be abandoned and the gangways walled in.
