RESCUE OF ENTOMBED NEAR. HOPE I ‘ ' Company Officials Believe They Will Reach Miners by 8 Tonight. NEW SIGNAL ATTEMPTED Railroad Telegrapher Lowered Into Shaft. Bu United Press IRON WOOD, Mich., Sept. 28.—Officials of the Oliver Mining Company announced today that they hope to reach the forty-three entombed men in the G. Pabst iron mine by 8 p. m. Conquest of the remaining'wall of rock, which is resisting the drills, will reveal whether any of the men have survived the horror of ninetysix hours in the underground prison with no food, scant illumination and an uncertain supply of water. Calculations at noon Indicated that within a few hours the drills will break through to the eighth level near where the miners are believed entombed. Renewed attempts were made to communicate with the miners. A railroad telegraph operator was lowered Into the main entrance ol the mine to try to establish contact with the men by Morse code. He tapped >n the pipe on which signals were heard Monday, but could obtain no response. Might Be S.O.S. The attempt was made after it was pointed out that if properly spaced, the eight tap3 heard by one of the miners would have signaded "5.0.5.” the universal call for distress. The tappings were heard by Fred Mokl, who successfully wormed his way far down into the workings and tapped an iron pipe which leads Into the eighth level, where the men are believed to be trapped. It was believed today that the miners have plenty of light, for a mine foreman recalled that he had left a five gallon /can of kerosine on the >.ighth level just before the cave-in. Four plans of rescue are being worked out: Workers are digging and blasting through down the main shaft, while another crew has ob ‘ained access to the thirteenth level through adjoining shafts and are tunneling upward. Another group is drilling a three-inch hole to the eighth level, through which t.he> hope to communicate with the miners they also hope to pass food tablet* down this tube to the trapped men. Tbe fourth group Is clearing up the cave-in at the twenty-first level. Rescue work Is proceeding slowly because the shafts of the mine must be walled up after each excavation to prevent another cave-ln. Mine officials report thnt although the prisoners are naturally undergoing hardships, their prison is spacious enough to hold all of them without discomfort; that there are plenty of air pockets handy, and that water undoubtedly seeps through to allay their thirst.
