U.S. NEWS The Imprisoned Miners Rescued --------------------------------------- SAN FRANCISCO, April 3—A dispatch from Virginia City, dated last night, says: “Six men penetrated the Alta drift to night with refreshments for the imprisoned miners. All wore ice helmets to enable them to pass the belt of 200 feet of foul air between the entrance and the end of the drift. The men were found in comparatively good condition. They had turned the water from the drift into their ice-water keg. When empty, they twisted the end of the compressed air pipe into a barrel of water and standing around it, breathed the air thus cooled as it arose through the water. About midnight, all were removed from the drift, the whistles along the lode signaling the event. The bodies of Barnett and Callahan, the brave fellows who perished in the attempt to rescue the miners by means of boats, have been recovered.
