The official statement indicated 1 that unless some unexpected crevice | Is struck or the average of 10 feot in 24 hours was improved upon. Collins could not he reached before tomorrow afternoon. At the Mouth of Sand Cave, Ky. I Feb. 13—(Special tt> Daily Democrat) I—All hope of immediate rescue of Floyd Collins from his living tomb was abandoned early today. Drill teats revealed the shaft would miss the crevice in which Collins has lain 15 days. Officials said It would be necessary to sink the shaft 70 feet an<l then dig a tunnel horizontally at that level for ten feet. A drill sent through the bottom of the shaft being sunk to free Collins from the cave in which he was trapped wfiile on an exploration trip, failed • to strike limestone before the 55 foot leveli Another drill ten feet from the shaft struck a crevice at 65 feet. These tests killed all hope of striking a crevice which might lead to • Collins ahead of their steady hacking. “It will be necessary to drift (dig horizontally)* toward the spot where i we estimate Collins lies. If we miss ids cell at the first drift, we must dig ■ others in all directions until we find i where he Is,” H. T. Carmichael, in i charge of operations, stated. At the Mouth of Sand Cave, Ky., , Feb. 13 —(Special to Daily Democrat) i —Repeated slides early today had made work so dangerous in the shaft i plunging toward the rock prison of i Floyd Colins thaat only experienced miners are assigned to the digging Sides of the shaft passing now through a slimy muck and rock mixture 58 feet below the. surface caved four times in succession before timber men could shore them up. Collins is 70 feet below the earth, it is estimated. “This is causing us to move much slower. Our work is complicated by the slides,” H. T. Carmichael, in charge of digging operations, asserted. “Our estimate of reaching Collins 36 hours from today remains tini changed,”, he asserted. The muck also has stopped the 1 . X-ray drill which tests ground ahead of the shaft and which it was hoped might find a passage giving imroed iate access to Collins' cell. o The very best Chestnut hard coal mined delivered at sls per ton; cash.
