miner, entered the cage and We're being

feet when the engineer In charge OF the
hosting machine received a signal TO
draw up the cage rapidly. The signal
came too late. A great mass of rock had
begun to settle, crushing the cage and
its occupants.
Eight men were working in the bottom
OF the shaft driving a level towards the
ore chimney and they were probably
crushed to death. Rescue gangs We're at
once put 10 work from three different di-
reclionS and wherever miner can be
used 10 advantage he is put to work. One
party OF rescuers are driving a drift from
the third level of the Scranton mine. and
