tOmbed Miners.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, March S.-The fate
OF the eight men entombed in the South
Wilkesbarre shaft, five days ago, is not
sealed for good yet. Workmen engaged
in laying pipe from the Stanton mine to
the Nillman mine, were startled
this evening by loud knock
ing on the main water pipe,
which runs all through the mines. The
men stopped work. All at once George
Mcdonald cried out, "My God is it pos
sible the men are still alive?" There is
good reason to believe now they
are. If they are, their where
abouts must be on top OF
the lift of the Hillman vein.
They are able to get air there, and
as they had a mule with them at the
time of the explosion the theory is that
they may have managed to live by
slaughtering and eating it. Redoubled
efforts will be made to find them.
