the main shaft about $50 feet away.
Before it was reached a small eA-
plosion occurred and in rev Iioiiien''
the entrance to the vein from inc
shaft was filled with smoke ana
flames.
Those nearest the cages hurried 10
them and were hoisted to the surface.
After about four trips the cages cedse''
moving and TO more miners came iroii'
the shaft. What disaster occurred III
the minutes following the escape OF the
men near the shaft is unknown.
After waiting few minutes at the
head of the shaft, Mine Superlnteh'
dent Rundy leaned into the cage, call
ing Nerhorg and two miners. The last
mentioned were afraid, and from the
small group of residents who had
gathered near the entrance came VOL
unteers. eager to assist Bundy IN inc
work of rescue Flood, Lewis, Fonantl
and a miner named Rubinskie entered
the cage and descended. The next
trip of the cage, operated from below,
carried up the bodies OF six miners.
Then the cage again descended, TINS
time bearing the unconscious BODIES
of three Of the rescuing party. Again
it was lowered and the bodies of the
last three of the six, including NCr'
berg, were brought up.
The story of the IS heroes who went
down to their death in the blazing
shaft and the one man who came
back, scared by fire and blackened by
smoke to tell the CHASTITY tale, was re-
lated today in all its details.
Standing above all the others is
the story of DR.. l.. B. Howe, the man
who came back" the only one of the
heroic IA who survives to tell what
happened. Seven times before the
other rescuers began to go into the
burning shaft, he descended alone in
a lit and each time brought to the
surface his quota of saved. Twenty
five miners owe their lives to him.
His hands are badly burned but he
shows no other scars. When asked to
describe his experiences he merely
shrugged his broad shoulders and
said:
Il couldn't have done anything else
than l did. 1t is not worth talking
about. Besides, l am too busy to talk
today"
At late hour tonight the air shaft
in the mine had been sealed tightly
where it had been opened today. Open
ing of the main shaft is expected to
begin at s o'clock in the morning.
The mine inspectors will call for
more volunteers from the miners who
are acquainted with the plan of the
mine, Oxygen apparatus for a suffi-
cient crew to make successful ex-
ploration into the main shaft has been
ordered and is expected to reach here
early in the day. Five men will be
ready to go into the shaft as soon as
the seal has been broken. provided
conditions are safe.
