Cave-In Victim's Body Found Early This Morning
Removal of an estimated 10,000 tons of earth was necessary to locate t h e body of Jack Howard, junior engineer for the Kennecott Copper Compan y h ere.
His body was sighted this morning at 3:15 a.m. by fellow workers who ha v e labored 24 hours a day since the man's body disappeared about 5:30 p. m . Sunday.
Hand digging and hoist removal of dirt enabled the men to get to the bo d y an hour and a half after it was sighted. The final removal occurred a bo ut 5:00 a.m. today.
The body, disappearing when the ground gave way under a heavy mechanic a l shovel, dropped down 50 feet into a drift of which 30 feet of it wa s be low the collar of a raise.
A six-yard shovel, dragline hoist, and hand picks and shovels were use d t o move the dirt.
A.P. Morris, general manager of Kennecott, stated it was a deeply regret t able accident and could only have occurred with the man standing in th a t exact spot.
Morris commended the Ray Mine Rescue workers and fellow miners of the yo u ng engineer for their vigilance and untiring efforts to rescue the body .
