in winze between the 700 and 800 foot

was about 100 feet deep. After wait
ing sufficient time for the smoke to
clear out and for the air to be in good
condition, one of the men went down
and was heard to work few minutes
and then stop. He was called to but
gave no answer and it became clear that
he was overcome by bad air. A man

teered to go down, and finding the man
who first descended, in an insensible
condition, tied the rope around him and
gave the signal to hoist. The condition
of the air was such that he had no time
to fasten himself to the rope in any way,
SO he just took hold of the rope with his
right hand and guided and steadied the
other man with his left. In this way
they were hoisted the 100 feet safely.
The arm of the rescuer was swollen to
the size of one of his thighs. The two
