Miner Lived on OiI-Ef-

MAHONEY CITY, Pa. Nov. 13.-To
the great surprise ana JOY of this en-
tire community, Michael McCabe, the
miner entcmbed in the Draper mine al
GIberton, and thought TO be nopelessly
buried, was rescued today.
After living FIVE days on mine oil as
his only food and drink he was taken
out limp and weak. but still conscious
and apparently not seriously affected
by his long Imprisonment.
Rescuers Worked BlindIy.
Instead Of having run toward the
gangway when the top OF the mine
collapsed, as wes supposed. he sought
refuge in a heading which was opened
by the rescuers, working blindly In
what they considered forloTn hope Nc
Cabes wife and three children, who
had stayed with the rescuers through
the long effort to save him, were over
come with joy. and Mrs. McCabe, weak
from illness and fatigue, tainted.
The rescue Of McCabe astoundel
mining experts, vino had given opinions
that it was utterly impossible to save
him, and that it would take months to
r-aeh the place where ne was buried.
Coal Town Celebrates.
A great demonstration is being made
here in honor of the remarkable ef-
forts of the resCuerS, who dOggedIv
continued their work IN the face Of
every discOuFagement, and without any
