SIX DARE MINE DEATH TO SAVE 43 Rescue Workers Make Perilous Ascent Into Michigan Iron Mine. * RISK NEW LANDSLIDES Climb to Be Made to Level Where Men Are Held. Hli United Press IRONWOOD, Mich., Sept. 29. Six daring rescue workers risked their lives today in a perilous ascent in the “G” Pabst mine shaft, hoping to reach the spot where for-ty-three miners have been entombed nearly five days. The newest rescue attempt was made possible when a party of drillers reached the “G” shaft at the twentieth level and found it open. Ladders up the steep incline were found to be hitact at that point and it may be possible for the rescuers to climb up to the eighth level, where most of the prisoners are trapped. The climb be extremely hazardous, however, as tons of earth are likely t£k be shaken loose by the least jar. Such a land slip might not only'close up this avenue of rescue, but might bury the rescue crew. Lamenting wives, mothers,, and sweethearts of the entombed miners were given fresh hope when news of this new rescue possibility was brought to the surface during the night. They were warned, however, not to place .'.oo much confidence in the news, because it was feared the ladders have been torn away at higher levels. The dim miners’ lamps _at the twentieth level could not penetrate the blackness of the upper recesses. According to present calculations, one of the forty-three miners is shut off in a tom'- at the eighteenth level. It is considered likely that,this man can be reached within a few hours. Two others are believed to be trapped at the thirteenth level and the remaining forty at the eighth level. If the ladders are* in tact as far up as the eighth level, rescue by this channel will be easier and quicker than to dig downward from the surface. Other rescue efforts are being contributed, however. These include a narrow shaft tbafTs being drilled down from the surface, a shaft too small to bring out the prisoners, but large enough that food and water niay be lowered.
