Entombed Forty-six Days.
Three Nevada Miners Rescued Alive and Well After Burial of Al
most Two Months a Thousand Feet Below
the Surface of the Earth.
After forty-six day* of imprisonment
1.000 feet below ground A. D. Bailey.
I\ J. Brown and Fred McDonald, the
three miners caught iu the collapse of
a shaft of the Ciroux mine, at Ely.
Xev.. were taken out alive and well l?y
the men who for almost two months
had been digging into their living '
tomb. Their rescue establishes a new |
record iu the world's history of mining. J
and their experiences are unjsiralleled
arnld the many thrilling tales in the j
annals of miners.
As Bailey, the first of the prisoners.]
reached the mouth of the main shaft,
leaning upon the arm of a comrade,
all the whittles and Itells in the camp
and town began sounding. The crowd
about the mine started a cheer which
lasted continuously for five minutes,
until after McDonald aud Brown were
brought to the surface.
All three appeared In fair physical 1
condition. The mental strain upou '
them showed in the few halting words
they were tirst able to address to their
friend-., but after a few hours' rest!
chisel and other tools wc cut tho pipe
opeu.
"We had done all we could for our
selves. so we went back Into the south
drift and sat down and discussed our
situation and argued whether the c*v?
had broken the six iuch pipe or not
somewhere above the shaft. We
knew in case the six Inch pipe was
broken it was all off with us. But
Anally we could hear some one ham
merino ou the pipe line.
"About 1 or 2 o'clock as I was stand
ing at the open end of the pipe some
one from the surface yelled down and
called. 'Oh. Bailey.' It was the most
welcome sound that ever greeted our
ears.
A few minutes afterward they turn
ed compressed air down the steam
line. We told them to shut off air. as
the steam line was broken In the shaft
opposite our station, and the dust, be
ing raised, would have suffocated us.
Then they made connection with the
six inch water pipe and sent the air.
It was certainly welcome, as the tem

all of the men were able to discuss in
detail their experiences while awaiting
rescue. Ualley gave a graphic descrip
tion of their strange experiences.
Bailey's story begins with the early
events of the day of the disaster. He
states that about 9:30 In the morning
he was at work In the 1,000 foot level ,
upon a pump trainer. He continues:
"All of a sudden the tank became so ;
full of dust that I could^hardly see, I
and I weut to the back of the tank for \
a few minutes to get out of the dust,
thinking it would stop, but It kept com
ing faster.
"I was running for the telephone
when McDonald fell Into my arms and
called, 'Bailey, Bailey!' But, realizing
the danger we were in, I stood McDon
ald against the wall of the pump sta
tion and went to the telephone and
ca^ed up the engineer at the surface,
telling hint to shut off the steam. By
the time I got through telephoning and
stepped out of the booth I discovered
McDonald and Brown in the pump sta
tion. but there was so much dust on
them and the dust was so thick at the
station that It was difficult to tell who
they were.
"But by this time I realized tbat the
shaft was caving, and I kuew that our
only salvation was the six jnch water ;
pipe, so while my companions, ex
hausted from climbing the shaft, were
resting a few minutes I saw the six
Inch gate valve was open.
"The three of us got what old log
ging and old boards we could find and
placed them so they blocked a great
- deal of dirt back into the shaft, as we
were afraid it would come out into
the station and cover the end of our
?lx Inch pipe. After resting a short
time we went back Into the station,
and with the aid of a hammer, cold
perature in the station was 100 de
grees before the cave, and the dust
was so line au<l thick that it could
have been cut with a knife.
"After sending down enough air to
last for a time they found an old can
somewhere on top and filled it with
water and lowered it down the six inch
water pipe.
"A note was sent from the surface,
telling us to connect our telephone to
the transmission cables 'that were in
service for our electric pump. We
connected as instructed, and we were
able to talk with the surface.
"We took oil and waste and soaked
It, so that we were not troubled with
dust, and it was quite pleasant there.
We did not sleep any for the first three
nights. The only place we had to lie
was on the statiou floor, and it was
cold and damp, and our nerves were
strung up to G.
"On the seventh day we found an
old canvas wagon cover that was used
to cover the motor when they were
blasting in the shaft. We made one
bunk and on the next day made an
other and on the next made the third,
so that we each had a bunk. After
completing our bunks we wauted some
bedclothes, so we telephoned to the
surface, and they got some blankets.
By cutting them Into pieces about G
Inches by 3G inches nnd lashing them
to the rope they lowered them down
and also sent us needles. - We sewed
them together and had a pair of blan
kets each.
"We had the best food that could be
had in the state of Nevada, and if we
had tried to eat and drink all the good
things they sent down or wanted to
send down we would have all been
down with the gout before this time.
Every woman In Ely seemed to want
to do something for us."
