A-10 Saturday, December 22, 1984THE COURIER-NEWS Rescue team finds 13 bodies in mine; 1 4 others sought fire started, Henrie said. "Apparently the air 's getting a little better, and the fact that the section is not in bad shape is encouraging," he said. "We have every expectation they will be in the tunnel, hopefully the farthest part of the tunnel." He said mine safety experts now speculate there could be five or six days' worth of oxygen in the chamber, where before they had said their best guess was two days. Also, Henrie said a three-inch bore hole being drilled from the adjacent Little Dove Mine 600 feet 'into the Wllberg chamber could be completed by last night, letting air, water and food get to any survivors. Henrie identified the nine as James Hamlin, 37, vice president of operations; Dave Bocook, 41, mine manager, Alex Poulos, 33, a longwall section foreman; Vic Clngolani, 33, general mine foreman; Tom Leroy Milton Hersh, 60, service foreman; Philip Bell, 28, longwall coordinator, Randall P.

Curry, 31, a longwall mechanic; Roger G. Ellis, 28, a loading machine operator, and Lee Johansen, 35, a mechanic. Birthday Mania Continued from Page One praise for the miners. "They were well-seasoned men," he said. "They were among the top operations leadership at Emery Mining.

(I have) a deep sense of loss, a great sense of compassion it's just a terrible tragedy." Mine officials and rescuers hoped the others had reached a "safe-retreat" chamber 2,600 feet farther on. The rescue team had been temporarily halted yesterday afternoon when it encountered three or four hot spots and had to focus its attention on cooling them. The mine is made up of horizontal tunnels drilled into the side of a mountain, where the miners were trapped as they worked to beat a one-day tonnage record. There are no vertical shafts. Earlier yest day, as grief-stricken relatives gathered at the mine, the five-member search team trying to get through to the chamber was temporarily driven back by flying chunks of hot coal and a faulty foam-generating machine.

Repairs to the foam-generating machine were made and the searchers set out again for the 300-foot-long chamber some l'i miles inside the mine, only to encounter the hot spots that halted their journey a second time. There was still reason to hope for the survival of the remaining miners, who had not been heard from since the MfiMwiM mm Mm mm urtrifM tut Mil Mm fflMII BMW I MM FlfM IM I ff ICffM.

Sat. and deep red berries were still being boxed this week for last-minute shipment as holiday decorations but the busy period is for the most part over at The Holly Farm. "We had a good season. As far as the wholesale business, we did as much as we could physically do.

We had to cut off orders," she said. "We ship cut-holly in gift boxes, much the way you would ship citrus fruit from the South," she added, noting that trees and decorations are also sent nationwide by the farm. "We are basically a wholesale holly orchard. But in conjunction with the holly orchard, we have a gift shop and museum the largest collection of holly (decorated) china in the world," she said. Each Christmas, dozens of busloads of sightseers descend on The Holly Farm, where visitors watch the branches of dark green leaves pruned for sale.

At this time of the year, female trees those which produce berries are a colorful mixture of deep green and scarlet red. Herron recalled how Wolf used to talk about the history of holly, which is MILLVILLE (AP) Sis Herron, keeper of the boughs, is winding down her busy season, cheered by knowing that the fruit of her work will deck the halls throughout the United States. Herron, 58, oversees the growing and harvesting of 4,400 holly trees on 50 acres of a secluded farm nestled in southern New Jersey 30 miles from the Delaware Bay. "We sell thousands of holly plants and hundreds and hundreds of pounds of cut holly," said Herron, whose orchard is the largest east of Oregon that grows holly exclusively. The Holly Farm began as a sideline for sand mine owner Clarence Wolf, who in the late 1930s began cultivating holly trees.

"Holly was his hobby," said Herron. But the farm became a local institution as the years passed and its presence is the reason this community of 24,000 picked up its nickname as The Holly City, said Herron. "Because of the holly orchard here it was not unusual for almost every house to have a holly tree," she said.

County officials estimate that the temporary replacement bridge could cost up to $200,000. But the permanent replacement, which wouldn't be installed for several years, could cost 10 times more. Police Capt. Harry Wilde said police are advising all commuters who travel along Lincoln Avenue to make a detour down North Avenue or South Avenue instead. "I wouldn't anticipate the bridge opening before Jan.

1," Wilde said. State Department of Transportation spokesman Randy Linthurst said the Lincoln Avenue Bridge, better known to the state as bridge 2003045, is owned by the county, which is responsible for maintenance and repairs. He noted, however, that county officials could apply for state funding to help pay for a new span. No Dealer. Limited Ouantltlst NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS Sunday 11 am to 4 pm.
