I.oujsyilIe Courier j -Jaurnal, who work.
ed desperately to free Collins down
the original cave tunnel. He declared
he felt far safer in the original hole
than he did in the shaft. The con-
slant drip Of seepage and frequent
falls Of small rocks and mud behind
the shaft timbering. gave him feel
ing. he said, that the bottom OF the
shaft might be squeezed shut like a
huge trap any minute.
He spoke OF this to Mr.. Carmichael,
in charge Of the shaft digging, and
the danger was ADMITTED, but in full
knowledge OF this the diggers push
on.
AS the lateral progresses, only fhe
most experienced are picked, still
three men to a shift. and they work
now in two-hour shifts.
Sand, instead OF limestone and
heavy rock, WAS encountered after
midnight, and the work progressed
with increased speed. The tunnel
was pushed nearly six feet farther
after midnight, 1T was stated.
Collins is believed to be held cap
tive at a depth of So feet. The lateral
has reached the 60-foot level and no
more dangerous or heavy boulders
are expected.
Mr.. Carmichael was more optimiss
tic early today than during the night
when several falls of minor char
acter occurred in the lateral One OF
these falls hit him on the head as he
was directing the work. The fall,
however, contained no rock and Car
michael was not injured.
THE sun will not rise on me at
Sand Cave Wednesday Car
michael predicted this morning.
my first estimate of the time Floyd
Collins will be reached. which was
Tuesday night, still stands" said DR..
w. F. Funkhouser.
Everett Maddox, one of the early
rescue parties. has just returned to
Sand Cave after serious Illness,
caused by his eXertions and exposure
in Sand cave.
Has Proof Of Identity.
Although an outsider, who did not
know Floyd Collins, Maddox Is ready
to furnish the absolute proof of iden-
tification of the man fast in the Sand
Cave rock wise as Floyd.
Early Wednesday morning 1 went
back to Floyd" Maddox says. That
was before the shaft was started. I could
reach as far as his foot, and l tried to
loosen 1t, but / couldn't. Finally FLOYD
said, Kiss me goodbye, I'm going
Then / noticed a gold front upper
tooth / went out, and soon after the
passageway caved in"
This is the first absolute mark of
Identification that any of the rescue
workers has been able to\recall, to re-
move any lingering doubt about the
identity Of the man in the cave.

CAVE RESCUE COST
S15O,O()O TO DATE
Response of Public Attributed
in Part to Stone Age In
stincts of Sympathy.
BY Consolidated Pres.

CAVE CITY, Ky. February 16.-
The misadventure of Floyd Collins,
obscure backwoods cave explorer. has
so tapped those elemental emotions
and instincts which have swayed hu-
mans almost from the beginning OF
time that over sl50,00o has been spent
here In this Kentucky wilderness to
free him from his subterranean grave
and to tell the story of it all to the
world.
Scientists on the ground see in this
outpouring of a nations sympathy
and help an emotional throw back
of the Nation to its cave man in
stincts, stirred by stories OF plight
that must have been more or less
common when mans home was the
hillside cavern.
This instinct carries with it that
feeling known as cloistrophobia, a
fear of close, tight. dark places, an
outgrowth of the Stone Age. Finally
there is that universally appealing
element OF a race between life and
death.
Troops Expenses S5O.OO0.
The response to this appeal for help
has come without regard to expense.
Troops sent here by the State to keep
order and to protect workers at the
cave in which Collins is trapped al
ready are estimated by offlcers to
have involved an expense OF nearly
$50. 600 to the State. Each day brings
the cost higher.
The Red Cross has spent thousanus
unon thousands to care for the men
at the cave. providing them with 1000
and with shelter, as well as medical
attention. Workers themselves. from
tn. bich-salaried engineers to the ex-
nerieyrced miners and timbernen, are
contributing their services, or more
thousands would be added to this bill.
Materials in huge quantities, from
electric light plants to tractors. have
likewise been furnished free to re-
duce the expense. Work at the cave,
in spite Of contributions of materials
and services, is estimated to have cost
nearly s50.0oo.
Costly to Newspapers.
Upon the newspapers reporting the
story" has fallen an equally heavy
cost. Telegraph companies report
that 100000 words day have been
sent from here over their lines alone
Dy the hundred newspaper men who
timated at SIS a day. In addition.
the larger newspapers are paying $50
a day for private telephones, and
have on top of that an extremely
heavy long distance toll bill. Twenty
photographers, whose expenses have
to be borne, are on hand, in addi tion
to seven moving picture photogra :
piers.
Airplsne pilots here to carry pic
lures of the final scenes back to the
papers say that their charges will ag-
Eresate $4,000.
From all these facts estimates are
that the expense OF the attempt to
take Collins from the underground
tomb in which he has been shared
and the furnishing of news Of its
progress to the people will go well
over $150.000.
