Va., June 24.—Further details of the damage to life and prop- erty by the devastating flood in the Pocahontas Flat Top region have been coming. all day. The dead are being recovered and identified. The relief corps has only penetrated a few miles of the stricken territory and no ree liable estimate can yet be made of the number of lives lost. There is a hundred miles of river front yet unreached along which bodies of the victims may be lodged in drifts and sand banks. Fifteen hundred laborers are now at work clearing away the debris and repairing the railroad tracks and establishing tele- graphic communication. It is estimated that it will be several weeks before railroad traffic will be resumed, and probably longer before the mines will be in operation, FIRST DETAILS FROM THE FLOOD DISTRICTS...
