MEN DRILL TWENTY
FEET IN TWO HOURS

Silverton Miner.
While the miners were at work
in the Eclipse tunnel. Monarch, last
Friday afternoon. fire broke out in
the tram house. The building is old
and dry and is located near the mid.
die of Monarch hill at an altitude of
about 10000 feet.
The heat OF the burning building
was so intense that there was every
reason TO believe that all the air would
be sucked out of the tunnel and that
the miners therein would suffocate.
When the news was spread around
camp that the tram house was on fire
force of 200 men was organized to
como to the rescue of the entombed
miners. 1t was impossible to get suf-
licient water to the burning tram
house and there was nothing 10 do
but let the fire burn itself out.
A plan was soon devised, however
to drill tunnel through the earth
to cut the main tunnel and thus fur
nlsh means of escape for the miners
This was accordingly done by work
ing the 200 men in relays, they drill
ing twenty-foot tunnel in two hours
thus furnishing an avenue of escape
to the miners. When the rescue party
broke through to the main tunnel 1t
was hot and almost devoid Of air and
thick with smoke. The miners inside
rushed pell nell to the open air, being
saved from horrible death from suf-
location.
The rescued men are John Furrell,
Harry Barnes, George Barnes and one
unknown.
The tram house was worth about
900 and owned by the Eclipse com
pany. being at present leased by the
Giant Eclipse Mining and Leasing com
pany. who have been shipping ore
from the Eclipse during the past
month.
