at 11:30 a. m. preparing to make a
dash of 1,500 feet from the first
southwest entry, to which point
the ventilation had been
established by canvas
brattices.
The body was left lying, it being
decided to lend every effort to find the
five who are still missing. At 3:45 p. m.
Sunday another helmet crew of five men
under Thomas Truesdale went into the mine
for another dash. They returned to the
surface at 5:45 without finding anything
