New picture of entomed men . Ten days in Moose river gold mine . Few hours from life . Entombed for ten days , Dr D E Robertson and Charles Alfred Scadding , the two men trapped in a gold mine at Moose River , Nova Scotia , are now seperated by 12 feet of solid rock from the workers who are labouring night and day to rescue them . Time after time rescue workers have been prevented in their fight by fresh falls and insurmountable obstacles . Now they have to cut off at a slant to escape the solid wall of rock that alone keeps them from the trapped men . Food poured through a drill driven through the solid rock has kept the entombed men alive , but a third man , Herman McGill , part owner of the mine , who was also trapped has died from a fractured skull and pneumonia . Photo shows , a new picture jut received of Charles Alfred Scadding of Toronto , Canada , one of the entombed men . 22 April 1936
