Upheavals of earth, coal and elate will hare to! be excavated in order to reach the objective point. Experienced miners say that if the miners are alive they will more than likely die from the effects of fire damp before they can be rescued. As none have been rescued from the location of the explosion and volumes of smoke are issuing from the atr shafts there is little doubt that most If not all of the men are dead .
