BURIAL GOLD MINE
Thin! Man Entombed Died Two Days

(By The Associated Press')
Moose River, Nova Scot
ia, April 22, — A rescue
crew, digging through one
hundred and forty-one feet
of rock and dirt, today
reached two living men, en
tombed for more than nine
days in the Moose River
gold mine.
They broke thru the fin
al wall of stone and dirt
- early today to reach Dr. D.
E. Robertson and Charles
Alfred Scadding, both of
whom were in agony from
privations endured during
their long wait under the
tons of rock and dirt which
nearly sealed their doom.
The group of three were
veteran coal miners, mem
bers of Nova Scotia’s fam
ous mine.
The rescue organization
of draegermen formed a
spearhead underground at
tack which was successful
in reaching the not d Tor
onto surgeon and his friend,
his companion on the des
cent into the gold mine East
er Sunday night.
Herman Magill. the third
member caught below the
surface, died two days ago
from privation.
AIRPLANES GET RESULTS IN
HUNTING OF WOLF, COYOTE
DENS SAYS WARDEN WHITE
By Sam 0. White
Game Warden.
While cruising near Ester
Dome, not far from Fair
banks, March 28th, I locat
ed a den which from the air
I was sure was either a
coyote or a wolf den. A few
days later I gave James
Wadman the location as
best I could and took him
as near there as I could go
with a car. After a search
, Mr. Wadman located the
den from the ground and
after watching for a time
saw a coyote enter same.
Did Good Work
On the morning oi April
14 I took Mr. Wadman and
a helper as near the place
as possible and left them.
I returned later in the day
t to find that their work was
already completed and that
they had taken an old fem
ale coyote and eight coyote
pups from the den.
Mr. Wadman is an ex
perienced wolf hunter from
what I have talked with
him and this piece of work
seems to bear out that
< much._
As a suggestion to com
mercial pilots, they might
in their flight locate a few
wolf and coyote dens and
do the country a great ser
vice by marking their loca
tion as accurately as possi
ble on the the map and turn
the information over to me,
or to some nearby trapper.
Beneficient to Country
I believe this would in
many cases bring results
quite beneficial to the coun
try. These dens are most
likely to be located on south
or southeasterly slopes for
lots of sun, according to a
statement made by Mr.
Wadman.
Mr. Wadman is an exper
ienced wolf and coyote hun
ter from the Western Stat
es. Dens are easily visible
from the air with a snow
background. A mound of
earth is piled up at the en
trance and trackings from
this mound show up in the
snow around the mouth of
the den.
Expert Exterminator
The den was found three
fourths of a mile from the
Italian Forces
Only 70 Miles
