of the Federal government ia time
of need, the Second Regiment of

3 EMOiEO MINERS RESCUED
FROM 301FOOI LEVEL HI PUEBLO
At a la to hour Saturday after
noon word reached here that Harry
Graham, Thomas Davies nad Nick
Radovich, three of the entombed
miners in the Pueblo mine h;Ld been
rescued alive by the men who have
worked incessantly to save their
lives.
Wten the men weTe released, they
walked out of their tomb just as
though they were leaving their
work at the end of their shift.
It seems that while they were
buried 'hree hundred feet in the
bowels of the earth two of these
men, Graham and Radovich, work
ed furiously for four long hours
la the dark and wet in a succsesful
effort to release Davies, who had
been separated, from them by dart
ing into another gtope chamber
when they heard the noise of the
slid.-.
For a distance of over one hun
dred feet the tunnel separating
them from their companion was
filled with debris, and timbers
twelve inches square and many feet
long had to be removed in the
work which these two men accom
plished.
It is almost a certainty that the
fhre6 men at the two hundred foot
level were carried away at the time
that the cave-in occurred, and the
three other men are believed to be
entombed in one of the stope cham
bers in the level where the rescued
men were found.
Fifteen men were requisitioned
from Whitehorse today to aid in
the work of rescue, this being made
necessary by reason of the fact
that those who have been working
have given out.
Hcpe is still entertained that the
other 3 men on the *300 foot level
will be rescued alive
