Alarmed at! the first rumbling as the earthen roof | and timbers gave way, seven miners, near the shaft darted up the statrs ln| safety but their 41 comrades, caught| in the muddy, swirilng waters met| almost instantaneous death. The first check up last dicated that of the normal crew of men, 49 had been in the workings, | but the final figures announced early today! by company officials put the number at 48 and death list at 41 with seven survivors, These survivors are Harry Hosford, at first reported dead; Jacob Ravan- ich, Emil Kainu, Frank Pravatin, Jr., whose father was drowned; Carl Irausand, Mike Zakatnik and \lnll: Kangas. Kainu was the last survivor to leave the workings. High powered electric pumps, rushed here from Duluth were pumping water from the muddy swamp lake and the mine to- day and mining experts sald the work- ing and the lake bed must be emptied before it would be possible to remove the bodies, ] Water from the mine is being pumped into Island lake a quarter of a mile away. Between this lake and the mine shaft lies the mud lake from whose waters penetrated the mine workings, causing the worst mining disaster in the history of the Minneso- ta iron ranges. Mining experts sald today that the drift of the Milford mine, which is on the Cuyuna range and produces man- ganese ore, did not extend under the Inke and they believe the water had worked n subterranean passage to the roof of the mine and the pressure finally erushed in the roof.
