Castle Gate, Utah, March 10.—
Eighteen bodies have been recover-
ed from the Utah Fuel company
mine No. 2 today. Many more bodies
have been definitely located, accord-
ing to reports coming to the sur-
face. Rescue work is being rushed,
and it is expected nightfall will see
the major portion of the mine in-
vestigated.
Indications are that none of the
175 who wore entombed by a triple
explosion Saturday will be found
alive. The latest bodies recovered
are blackened, burned about the
face and hands, but identification is
easier than of those first brought to
the surface. Poisonous gas is dis-
appearing in many portions of the
mine, according to reports, and in
many parts of the mine crews were
carrying on their investigations.

has held up rescue work through
that passage, the report continued.
A glimmer of hope for some ol

Castle Gate, Utah, March 10.—
After penetrating 3,000 feet into
the mine of the .Utah Fuet compa-
ny where 173 miners were entomb-

ers were blocked late Sunday by a
wall of fire.
At that time only seven bodies
had been brought to the surface.
They were so badly mangled anJ
harred by violent blurts a .id flumes
that the only possibility of identifi-
cation will be by rings or other
jewelry.
Between twenty-five and thirty
additional bodies have been located
underground, but have not been
brought to the surface.
Possible survivors among the 140
men still unaccounted for may be
anywhere from two to four miles
from the entrance to the shaft.

The fruit growers of Hopkins
county are very uneasy about the
fruit crop since the cold norther
Sunday and Sunday night. Mr. Bax-
ter, the weather man, says the ther-
mometer went down to 30 degrees.
J. D. Junell, who lives on the Como
road just south of town, and who
is one of the largest Elberta grow-
ers in the county, ia very uneasy
about the fruit and berry crops. He
says that he is fearful that not ot)!y
the peaches and plums have had a
close call, but that early strawber-
ries have been badly damaged. Last
year Mr. Junell predicted that there
would be very little fruit made aft-
er the cold wave in the spring, while
many people claimed that the cold
weather had not killed the fruit.
The May drop caused the crop to be
almost a failure.
It will require several days to de-
termine the damage, according to
those who are making a study of
fr ,:t growing in the county.
