EN WED III TALK THROUGH PIPE
Men, Cut Off From Escape By Tons Of
Rock And Frozen Ground Tell Res
cuers All Are Well But Cold and
Hungry ? Keep From Freezing By
Burning Pick and Shovel Handles
(Special to The Dally Alaskan) ?
FAIRBANKS. Sept. 29 ? By means '
of the steam pipe leading down into j
the collapsed tunnel of the Shakes
peare mine, communication has been 1
established with the men who were ?
entombed at a late hour yesterday
afternoon by hundreds of tons of rock
and frozen ground caving in on them.
The entombed men have answered
that they are well, but suffering- from
thirst, and that it is too coJd to sJeep.
They have kindled a small fire which
they keep burning by using the han
dles of their shovels and wheelbar
rows for fuel.
The men under ground are working
at the bottom of the collapsed shaft,
but they send upword that they are
getting weak from hunger.
Th rescue parties are still frantic
ally at work, and have started work
in throe shafts in the hope that they
will find one or the other of the
drifts at the bottom still open.
A keystone drill has been put in
operation, boring a hole down to the
perishing men for the purpose of send
ing down food and drink. It is ex
peeter that the drill will penetrate
the drift in which the men are within
thirty hours, althoug the men, work
ing in the several shafts believe that
there is a fair chance of rescue be
fore that time.
The collapse of the shaft was caus
ed by the heavy rains which have
been persistent for the past two
weeks, and as the weather has been
exceedingly warm for this time of
the year, the rain has penetrated
to a great depth, and caused the
caving in of the side walls of the
shaft.
