OF A MILE


Mexico City, Aug. 26.-Rescuers
today are making frantic efforts 20
release 80 miners who are imprisoned
1900 feet below tn surface in the
Lapez mine. az Mateahaula.
According TO today's advices 10
men were instantly killed at the boz
tom OF the shaft yesterday, the cable
TO the cage broke. and Il descended
upon the miners at the bottom of the
mine, crushing them into unrecog-
nizable masses
When the cable broke 80 men
were In the cage, and they were
dashed 1900 feet below on the heads
Of the dead men. While II is certain
that most OF the men who were In
the cage were killed. the rescuers
are working in the hope that some
OF them may have escaped death.
The cage Ia pinned by tons OF
wreckage, and II is not believed that
the imprisoned men can be reached
before night
That some OF the men are still
alive is manifested by the fact that
the groans OF the injured can be
distinctly heard by the rescuers.
