Air piped into mine as hope rises for Sunshine shutdown
Officials say dwindling smoke in the Sunshine Mining Co shaft suggests the fire that killed at least 24 may be nearly out. Rescue teams struggle to reach 58 miners missing after the blaze began. Air forced into shafts cited as evidence, though carbon monoxide remains high and smoke hampers efforts. The No 10 hoist shaft runs 3,100 feet to the 4,600-foot level where the missing miners are believed trapped. Rescue units from Silver Summit shaft neared the hoist room before smoke decline was reported.
