14 Buried Under |Tons Of Rock And
Frozen Ground ? Hundred Rescuers
Work Fifteen Minute Reliefs Cut
ting Through Solid Ice In Attempt
To Save Dying Fellow Workmen
(Special to The D&lly Alaskan)
FAIRBANKS. Set. 28? Just as the
day shift, who were working at a
depth of one hundred and seventy
feet in the new shaft of the Shakes
peare placer mine on Dome creek
were getting ready to quit work for
1 the day. the shaft caved in and four
teen miners were buried under hun
dreds of lotus of rock and froien
ground.
Almost Immediately over one hun
dred men began work at the bottom
on one of the old shafts which is sit
uated five hundred feet distant from
the caved-in shaft, in an attempt to
reach the Imprisoned men.
The men are working furiously to
I rescue the miners, who unless soon
t^iketi from the shaft will either die
of suffocation or be frozen to death.
As the shaft through which the res
ale is being attempted is small, only
% few men can work at a time, and
these are working fifteen minute re
| llefs.
There is thirty feet of solid Ice at
the bottom of the obi shaft and this
must be removed before the cross
! cut is betjun.
It*ls thought that the Intermediate
drifts hare setled and that this must
be cleared before the unfortunates
at the bottom of the new shaft can
be reached.
Most of the imprisoned men are
Russians, and hare no families here.
