NINE MEN ENTOMBED
DISASTROUS CAvE-IN AT THE ANNA
LEE NINE, VICTOR, COL.
Shaft Closed with Earth and Rock
While Some OF the Employees Were
Descending I'm the Cage.

VICTOR, Col, Jan. "A terrible accident
occurred about noon to-day at the Anna
Lee mine of the Portland Company, on
Battle mountain. Nine men were caught by
a big cavern, and there is little chance or
saving them The victims are: Superinten-
dent Sheldon, foreman Lewis. Jack Malloy.
Mike McGuirk, Tom Malloy, - Cosgrove.
Paddy Meelund. Thomas Harmon and -
Sheldon. The four last named were going
down in the cage when the cavern occurred.
They were in the cage between the third
and fourth levels, when the shaft pinched.
1t is possible that they have been thrown
into one of the drifts and are safe, but no
tidings can be had from them.
The work of rescue was started at once,
and great efforts are being made to reach
the men. 1t is doubtful, however. If this
can be done in time to save them. There is
great excitement in Victor in consequence of
the accident. The cavern began thirty-five
feet from the top of the shaft. 1t is be-
lieved that it will take week or ten days
to rescue the entombed miners. AS the
shaft on the Anna Lee is about nine hum
dred feet deep, it can be readily seen that
a great amount of work will be required
not only to clear the shaft in order TO.

The cause of the disaster cannot be def
initely stated, but it is known that the
timbers were insufficient to sustain the
great. weight, both lateral and perpendicu-
lar, to which they have been subjected.
About two weeks ago the shaft of the Anna
Lee shrank to such an extent near one of
the stations about the middle of the shaft
that the cage, in which there were three
men at the time, would not pass down. The
engineer reversed and brought the men up.
