Under the direction of Guy Jordan, superintendent of the state highway camp, workmen i»t. 2 o'clock this afternoon set off a large charge of dynamite along the ledge above the slide of yes terday. This work is expected to fur ther delay the work of recover ing the bodies of the men buried yesterday as the rock and earth blown off by the dynamite fails into the pit and gives workmen more debris to remove. However, it was felt by offi cials that the dynamiting of the projecting ledges would make the recovery work safer for thofe engaged in attempting to uncov er the bodies. A number of men volunteered to work in the pit without the removal of tho ledges, but officials felt that this would expose them to unnecessary risks. Heavily increased forces today were engaged in the herculean ef forts of seeking to recover the bodies of seven men buried in the grreat pit of the Blue Ridge Lime and Stone company, near Fletch er, where 100,000 tons of earth and rock caved in there yesterday afternoon. All night a crew worked futile ly at the task, large flood lights illuminating the pit, over 600 feei. in length, where a 90-foot wall crashed without warning. Near zero weather made steady work for any one crcw impossible, and not only were men's bodies numbed but from time to time the airline equipment for drilling into the great boulders which make up the great mass of earth and ston»' at the bottom of the pit froze as the men attempted to use it, while the cold also made it difficult to keep up pressure on the steam shovel. An index of the enormity of the task which faces the men seeking to recover the bodies of the victims was seen last nigh?, when 44 sticks of dynamite which, had been applied to a single large boulder failed to move it. The force of approximately 50 men which spent the night at th»j site of the tragedy worked on, however, in crews of 10 or 12, as the weather would permit use of equipment, and this was increased by the addition of drills from nearby quarries, while W. N. Lance of the Blue Kidge Lim^ Kiln in that section lent a foreo of about 25 men to assist in the recovery of bodies. Guy Jordan, superintendent of the state highway prison camp in this county provided additional manpower for the task and three truck loads of prisoners, includ ing about 50 more men arrived on the scene from that institution early today. Despite the continuous efforts the only sign that was apparent early this morning showing thtt there had been life where the men are now working to recover the bodies, was the trickling of bloody water from beneath the huge pilvj of debris into the water at the bottom of the pit.
