ANACONDA (Mont.) Jan. 13.-At an
early hour this morning the discovery
was made that five men We're entombed
in a tunnel, which the Anaconda Cop
per Mining Company is constructing
for water f1uming purposes under a
bluff about half a mile beyond the city
limits.
A large quantity of powder which
had been carried into the tunnel for
the use of the night shift was exploded
by some means, now unknown, wreck
ing the face of the tunnel, which is
about $50 feet long, and resulting in
slide of earth which closed the tun-
mel completely at distance of about
forty feet from it's entrance.
From the moment of the discovery of
the accident diligent effort has been
made to reach the five miners, con-
corning whose fate the deepest anxiety
is felt. AT 10 o'clock tonight those en-
gagged in rescue work felt sure that the
noise Of the miners signal reached
them from within the tunnel.
1t was proposed to drive a three-inch
pipe through the mass of earth that
had filled the tunnel. This plan was
vigorously followed, and a twenty-foot
length was successfully driven. A
second section was connected, and to
the Joy Of the anxious spectators, it
penetrated the mass Of earth. Imme-
diately, at IL o'clock tonight, commu-
nication was established with the i'm
prisoned men. -Four of them were re-
ported alive and well. One is dead.
The work of reaching them is going
on with greater zeal than ever The
men, through an improvised speaking
tube, reported that they suffered from
neither thirst nor hunger, but that they
wanted candles.
Joe Mcleod, formerly of Butte, is the
dead miner. The surviving four are:
Andrew Usher, Michael Kozina, Mat
Petrtz and Mat Kozin.
Six hours hence will probably find
them released. 1t is not yet learned
how the explosion occurred.
