Their Bodies Burned

Fire In Workings Where Lie Remains of Dead Miners.

Hanna, Wyo., July 2.--The startling information has been received from an experienced miner and fire-fighter who penetrated the mine to the sixteenth level, that the workings below the seventeenth level are a mass of flames, and where a few hours ago it was believed the rescuers would reach the bodies of the entombed men not later than today noon.

Added to the horrors of fire, which doubtless will destroy the underground workings, is the danger of another explosion, which may occur at any time The situation is decidedly grave.

There is great danger of the flames breaking through into the entries from which the rescuers are endeavoring to reach the two score or more bodies known to be in No. 17 entry. Here the gases accumulated in such large quantities that the rescuers cannot remain long at a time, and the gas once ignited will cause the second catastrophe.
