MINERS ENTOMBED FOR WEEKS.
Three Men Buried a Thousand Feet
Underground in Nevada.

One morning early in December a
sudden crash of timbers, a muttied
clatter of rock and cloud Of dust told
the engineer of the Alpha mine, near
Ely, New, that the five men he had
Just sent down in the cage were buried.
He gave the alarm and thousand
men, eager to be of service, gathered
about the shaft. Supt. Gallagher care
fully picked the men he wanted, noti-
fed others that he might call upon
them later and at once began efforts to
communicate with the entombed men,
hoping some might have escaped death.
Before nightfall he learned that two
Greeks were caught in the cave-in and
buried alive, but that the three Ameri-
cans, Bradley, Brown and Mcdonald,
were in no immediate danger. A six
incn pipe runs from the mouth or the
shaft to the bottom and by removing
the cap from its base the imprisoned
men managed to talk with Gallagher.
They told him they had a little food
and water enough for two or three
days.
With rubber devices Gallagher passed
food and liquids down the pipe and
was soon able to supply the men. He
started a drift toward them and at
first it seemed probable that he would
reach them in week. Before that
time the unforeseen happened and the
rescuers were compelled to make new
plans. 1t was then announced that ten
days would be sufficient to get to the
miners, but fresh accidents beyond the
pale Of prevention delayed the work
ers. Now Gallagher declines to make
predictions and simply says that he
will continue his effort as long as he
has strength to direct it. The men
can be saved, he declares, and he will
save them.
The entombed miners spend their
long days far more cheerfully than
might be expected in such circum-
stances. To safeguard them in case

connected the mine telephone with an
electric cable, and are able to talk daily
with their families and friends. They
are well supplied with news, and have
shown much interest in the Goldfield
crisis. They have plenty Of light and
room to move about, so that If they
can endure the long delay they can
wait for rescue with confidence and
comparative comfort. ~
