EXPERTS AGREE THAT THERE IS NO CHANCE FOR ENTOMBED MINERS
The report was meant to end rumors that some men might survive in air pockets; the funeral of mine captain William Tippet was held that day, and recovery operations continued at night without success.
ISHPEMING, Mich., Nov. 5. - (AP)- - There is not the slightest possibility that any of the 51 men trapped in the cave-in at the Barnes-Hecker iron mine here Wednesday are alive, according to a report issued here tonight by a group of 24 mining experts and engineers representing various state and safety organizations as well as the Cleveland Cliffs company, owners of the mine.
The report was issued after a careful investigation of the mine today and was intended to spike recurrent rumors that there was a possibility that some of the men may be alive in air pockets not penetrated by the flood.
The mine was thoroughly flooded and sealed at the top, there was no chance of anyone surviving, the reports declared.
The funeral of William Tippet, mine captain, one of the victims, was held today. The little band of mourners who followed the body to the grave heard him described as one who knew and loved the miners, led them through perils, and finally himself succumbed to the fate from which he had by his knowledge 'of workings and quick thought saved many lives.
Recovery operations continued tonight with no success in extricating the 44 bodies still in the mine.
