History contends limestone at 48 feet forms top of Collins prison. Shaft draft suggests a large crevice near the shaft. Friday rescuers report hearing Collins breathing and coughing in a natural passage during the day. A tunnel at 50 feet proves a blind passage despite high hopes it would reach Collins tomb.

Coal Loading Resumes at Md Coal Co Wendel Pit
Five cars of coal were loaded Monday at Mine No 2 of the Md Coal Co of West Va at Wendel after a yearlong shutdown. About 25 miners worked overnight and coal tonnage so far is small due to falls and abnormal track conditions. Company plans to increase output after repairs and add workers. The mine operates on a non union basis and state police guard peace. Notices to vacate company houses were served to some union miners earlier this week, with eviction suits filed for possession.
