Rescuers with more than 100 men worked round the clock in a smoke filled tunnel at Lakeshore Copper Mine 35 miles south of Casa Grande Arizona. They pushed more than halfway through debris but could not contact two miners trapped 1200 feet underground. Officials expected to reach them before air runs out. Air and water were pumped deep into the shaft and the men have about 80 hours of air left.
