Wuhai, Inner Mongolia- No sign of trapped miners
Despite search efforts there are no signs of life at the Luotuoshan Coal Mine in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
31 miners remain trapped underground and their bodies unaccounted for, Monday.
Rescue officials bought new equipment in over the weekend to search for the bodies of the miners, but no life was recorded underground.
SOUNDBITE:(Chinese) Lan Yi, Emergency rescue headquarters
"Rescuers are trying their best to connect with the trapped miners. A newly bought camera, costing 300,000 yuan (43,940 U.S.dollars), was sent to the hole on Monday morning. Through it, rescuers can see the underground mining platform clearly. There is a manager in charge at the rescue scene day and night, and 80 rescuers are working at the site with other 150 rescuers standby at any time."
Lan says one of the three previously used detectors was only showing blurred images, while the other two were unsuitable for working deep underground.
