After Miraculous Escape.

Joplin, Mo, June 16.-Four of six
miners who were entombed in the
Longacre Chapman zinc mine near
here last Thursday night when they
broke into a drift of an adjoining
abandoned mine, have been rescued
alive They had climbed into pen
25 feet above the level of the drift
and had escaped an avalanche of mud,
water and gravel that filled the work
ingS.
The two others entOmbed are be-
lieved to be far back in the workings
and dead.
The four rescued were in good
physical condition, despite the fact
they had been without food and water
five days. They were found $50 feet
from the main shaft of the mine.
One of them explained that they had
a few moments warning and they
rushed to the drift pen, where a steam
holster and pump blocked the main
portion of the debris as it rushed into
the drift. When found the men were
standing in mud up to their waists.
