After haying been entombed for more than five days, hundreds of feet under Line ground, seven miners may be rescued . alive today unless .they starve to death w"nin a few hours. Thousands of persons today crowded about the shaft of the Borwlnd White c,oal mine, where the cavo-ln shut off the escape of the miners, pi. I among them were the 'frantic relatives of the imprisoned men. .. Much mystery attaches to the faint tappings on a pipe which come from the tomb of the wdrkers. Since the flfst - hour of their imprisonment these taps have come in a series of seven at a time. They may mean .that the seven men are awaiting rea citd or that they are imprisoned In the seventh level of the mine. . Two great dangers menace the lives of the miners. The water in the level where they are held prison ers may rise and drown them or they may starve to death before they can, be rescued. It Is certain they have had no food for five days. Mine officials say that danger from drowning has been reduced to A minimum as the pumps are work-lag- properly and that they are un doubtedly keeping the level clear of jpier. . ..,- t-,. .. - , . ' - Cave-in Five Days Ago. When the cave-in occurred five days ago the seven men were' driven into a high level branching off from the main level! There was only one opening Into this level and that was soon blocked by the flooding water. If this water has been pumped out the men are apparently prisoners be cause of the collapse of part Of the mine. ; . Rescue parties are today descend ing the main shaft and are fighting bravely to reach- the entombed men. Each resoue party is accompanied by one or more physicians and men carrying medicines, food and fresh drinking water. It was expected that some one of these parties would reach the miners before the day is over. i , Efforts to establish a telegraph code whereby the buried men could communicate their condition to those at the head of the shaft .have failed. All that has come up-has been the seven taps at a time, on the pipe which runs through. that level. The men are top far tinder ground to permit of the sinking of a tuba through - which food , supplies , could be passed them and through Which conversation could be conducted, as was- done in the case of .the miner burled for fifteen days at .Baker; vllle, Cal., Charges of neglect made yesterday have reached the ears of the foreign ers. ; One young miner In an' Inter view declared that several hours prior to the Inrushing of the water he had informed the foreman of the dingers that Vould be risked In fur ther blasttng the walls of the mine.
