Water IN MINE :
RECFDINC FAST
Effort VIII Be Made
To Recover Bodies
OF a. Miners

ISHPEMING, Mich, Nov. 5.--tFl-
The hOncycombed workings OF a
number Of abandoned iron mines to-
day were lending a Aelping hand 70
the men engaged in the difficult
work OF recovering the bodies or the
miners entrapped in the cave-in at
the Bares-Hecker mine here We'd
nesday.
The seeming impossibilitv Of the
task Of ever clearing the flooded pit
took on a more encouraging aspect
late last night when the water which
filled the shaft began receding OF
its own accord.
Mine engineers expressed the
opinion that the water had broken
through to underground cayerns Of
adjacent worked out iron mines.
Shortly after midnight tire waters
in the main shaft had dropred to
400 feet from the surface and were
still receding.
The entire district is honeycombed
with these huge caverns and Of
ficials are hopeful that the waters
may be drawn OFF ny this method
in such quantities as to at least
clear the first level where il Is be-
lieved many Of the i4 bodies unac-
counted for NAV be found.
But even with this unforeseen aid.
the task Of recovery remains a most
difficult one. As the waited receded
il was revealed that the main shaft
had been stripped Of all its bracings
by the rush Of water and sand and
was partially filled with timber
and other wrcckage.
New bracinE apparatus must be
constructed TO prevent slides and a
new elevator installed before the
men can penetrate to the first level.
Soundings have revealed that this
level il cloggcd with sand and IL an
entry is made into it the workers
must dig out any bodies that may be
buried there.
This wilr consume weeks or
months, Officials Of, the mine fear,
but nevertheless they are going
ahead with the work and have an
nounced their determination to
bring 10 the " surface for proper
burial the bodies OF the victims.
