HOPE TO TAP MINE BELOW
CONTINUED from page one)

Continued from page one)
terday Afternoon gas began pour
ing out of the Muidoon shaft.
Peter Accher, shaft foreman,
who led crew of eight volun-
teers into the depths of the mine
yesterday to attempt to battle the
flames, told the Story of their ef
forts. The men directed their
fight toward heading the smoke
back down the shaft SO as TO en-
able them to get 20 the point
where the flames are burning.
Later yesterday afternoon they
had succeeded in reaching a point
about so feet below the first
smoke level to the 2700 foot level
This was still 800 feet above the
fire. Then a 500-galon tank fill
ed with water was sent down the
shaft to this point and released.
AS the volume of water was
dumped down the shaft, the smoke
and gas boiled as Accher ex-
pressed it and seethed upward,
forcing the rescue crew back to
the 1900 foot level.
Two methods are being used in
the attempt to battle with the
flames.
Cave-in May Save Men.
Water is being carried down
on the skips in large tanks and is
also piped down through a four
inch main which was hastily in
stalled yesterday. This is being
carried to the point of attack
through two hose streams.
Faint hope that the entombed
men may be still living arise
from the report that a cave-in has
occurred in the mine as a result
of the burning away Of the tim
bering.
Accher states that while 1t is
impossible to ascertain whether a
caye-in has resulted, such a thing
might in closing the throat OF the
shaft below the point where the
fire is burning and preventing the
gas fumes from reaching the lower
levels where the men are trap
ped.
May Starve to Death.
1t is pointed out, that even If
the air remains pure in the undes
ground levels, the situation Of the
imprisoned miners VIII bec0sne
desperate from a food standpoint
There is no means of getting food |
to the men and they have only
such supplies as may have re-
mained in their lunch baskets aft
er their Sunday night meal. There
is also very little drinking water
In the mine.
= That the flames were caused
either by a short circuited electric
lighting system or cigarette butt
earelessly thr01gn seemed to be
the two most generally accepted
theories. Aceher states that Sun
day afternoon two Of his crew had
been engaged in doing repair
work among the timbering at the
point where the flames were first
discovered at midnight Sunday
night. Neither OF these men, ac-
cording to Accher, smoked.
