A Cornish Miner at the Chandler Mine Has a Miraculous Escape From Death"
By the Associated Press.
DULUTH, Minn., 18 Oct. 1894. -
JACK COWING, a Cornishman working in the Chandler mine, had a miraculous escape from death this week. There was a cave-in where he was working on a deep level, but, luckily, some timbers over him saved him from being instantly crushed and smothered. He was able to make himself heard by tapping the walls, and a gas pipe was driven down to him from the level above to furnish air. It took two days for the miners to get to him. He found his quarters rather chilly and he was a bit hungry, but otherwise fared well."
