Mine Hole Descent
SHEPPTON, Pa. (UPI) State
deputy mines chief Gordon Smith
said today a volunteer would de
scend more than 300 feet under
ground Sunday in a search for
missing miner Louis Bova.
High-speed drills continued to
ream out a rescue hole to Bova's
presumed location. Smith said if
no obstacles were encountered, a
man would be lowered at the end
of a rope about 6 p.m. Sunday. '
Bova, 52, buried in an Aug. 13
cave-in along with David Fcllin
and Henry Throne, has not been
heard from since Aug. 20. The
other two were rescued early last
Tuesday.
A tense silence descended on
this dusty valley Friday and on
Umpqua Hotel
Converts Rooms
To Apartments
A portion of the Umpqua Hotel
in downtown Roseburg will take on
a new look early in October when
16 new apartments become ready
for occupancy.
Hotel owner and manager Emil
Ramberg said the Todd Building
Co. should have the 16 apartments
ready for occupancy within six
weeks. There will be four of the
small apartments, each complete
with kitchens and dinettes, on each
of the hotel's four floors.
All will provide elevator service,
maid and linen services and a tele
phone, he said. Nine of the apart
ments . will have separate bed
rooms and living rooms, along with
a kitchen and bath, while the
other seven will be bachelor apart
ments featuring kitchenettes, a
combination living and sleeping
room, and baths.
Total cost of the remodeling proj
ect, including new kitchen furnish
ings, will be about $50,000. The en
tire hotel was remodeled in 1960,
following the Aug. 7, , 1959 blast.
Ramberg said the apartment pol
icy is being adopted by hotels in
several sections of the country. He
emphasized the Umpqua Hotel
will continue normal hotel occupan
cy, featuring 86 rooms for regular
hotel guests.

the men who have tirelessly
probed the ground for Bova when
H. Beecher Charmbury, state sec
retary of mines, reported that a
telcivion camera lowered into an
escape hole had picked up what
seemed to be the form of a man.
That silence lasted until late in
the day when Charmbury
emerged from a tent after a con
ference with Andy Dcbrikto, who
had been lowered into the hole
to investigate. Charmbury report
ed to a crowd of more than 100:
Concrete Plug
It was a concrete plug, along
with a piece of rope. It could
easily give the appearance of a
body, we are very proud that
we have men like Andy who are
willing to go down there and look
around.
Debrikto walked off, and the
drills which had been silent all
day suddenly went into operation
again, filling the night with the
whining that meant Louis Bova
alive or dead, still was to be
located deep in the earth.
When Charmbury first saw the
television image, he had reported
excitedly that it seemed to show
"a miner's hat, head, shoulders,
arms, legs, and boots. The body
appeared to be in a sitting po
sition against a post."
Hop Is Revived
The picture had been taken in
the 305-feet-deep hole through
which Fellin and Throne were
rescued, and though they report
ed no communication with Bova
since Aug. 20, it was believed the
third man might have crawled
into the chamber after their escape.
When Bova s brothers Daniel
and John saw the image arid re
ported "it's possible, it's possi
ble, excitement mounted at the
lonely mine here. Shortly the
number of spectators began to
grow.
Then Dist. Atty. Harry Light-
stone made an appearance at the
mine site. "I ve been informed
there is a body down there," he
said, "so I am here in my offi
cial capacity. . .I'm putting every
one on notice that there could
possibly be something in my jurisdiction."
More television pictures were
to be attempted today, and the
drilling continued unabated, but
the chances for the survival of
Louis Bova were privately con
sidered slim by almost all ob
servers here.

Boys Apprehended
On Liquor Count
Three Sutherlin area boys were
turned over to juvenile authorities,
an 18-year-old was sentenced to
serve time in jail and fined, and
an older man is awaiting trial in
connection with liquor charges
earlier this week.
Awaiting trial on a charge of
furnishing liquor to a minor is Wal
ter Linstead, 27, Sutherlin. Trial is
set for 3 p.m. Sept. 0. Charles Le
roy Slayton, 18, Sutherlin, was
fined S70 and $5 costs and sen
tenced to 15 days in the county
jail for illegal possession of alchol
by a minor.
Investigating sheriff's deputies
and a liquor control officer re
port a call came from a resident
of the Sutherlin area that some
boys had hidden something in a
culvert near the intersection of
Plat M. Road and Highway 225.
The evidence was obtained by the
officers along with a description of
the car used.
A car answering the description
later was stopped in that vicinity.
The four youth occupants had an
other case of beer. On questioning
they told the story that two of
them had gotten the older man to
buy the first case of beer for them
and had hidden it in the culvert.
When they returned to find it
gone, they picked up two other
youths and induced the man to
purchase another case. It was this
they had in their car, they told
officers.
FBI To Attempt
Identification
MOAB, Utah (UPI) The Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation to
day hoped to link the names of
the 18 victims of Tuesday's pot
ash mine explosion with the row
of charred bodies lying on
stretchers in a truck repair shop
just outside of town.
Sheriff John Stocks, who knew
most of the victims personally,
said that visual identification was
imDOssibe. Each corpse was
wrapped in a green, plastic can
vas and the stretchers were
placed in a row on the cement
floor of the shop, wnicn was con
verted into a temporary morgue.
An FBI disaster squad, armed
with fingerprint samples mainly
taken from the victims' military
records in Washington, arrived in
Grand Junction, Colo., by air Fri
day night and expected to com
plete the trip here by motor car
today.
Leonard Blaylock, special agent
of the FBI's Salt Lake branch of
fice, said that when the bodies
are identified, they will be turned
over to their families. Separate
arrangements will be made for
each.
Father John Rasbach, a Roman
Catholic priest, said a joint Re
quiem Mass for the Catholics in
volved will be held in Moab if
the families wish it.
Meanwhile, the Junior Cham
ber of Commerce of this eastern
Utah city of 6,000 Friday night
launched a fund drive for the vic
tims' widows and children.
The Texas Gulf Sulphur Com
pany s mine here was closed
pending a federal-state investiga
tion into the cause of the blast,
which trapped 25 men more than
a half-mile below the surface. -Seven
survived the disaster.
Two were brought out Wednesday
and five more Thursday night
after oxygen had been pumped
into the mine to clear out the
accumulated carbon, monoxide.
A full scale investigation was
ordered by the U.S. Interior De
partment after Marling J. An
keny, director of the Bureau of
Mines, said corrective measures
had been recommended to the
construction firm, Harrison Inter
national Inc., of Miami, Fla., a
Canadian firm.

Glendale Man Makes It When
He Can't Find What He Wants
By MRS. GERALD B. FOX
Glendale Correspondent.
When Ivan C. Marriott of Sac
ramento, Calif., and Glendale
wants something special, he builds
it. His latest piece of equipment is
a home-built but factory perfect
horizontal hydraulic drilling rig.
Marriott, who owns the "O 1 d
Glendale Junction" tourist court
property three miles east of Glen
dale, lives there during the sum
mer in a houseear another of his
Marriott "specials."
A year ago, Marriott, a active
retiree, helped a neighbor put in
two large concrete water storage
tanks on the hillside across the
highway from his property. Togeth
er they cleaned the spring, but the
water was 90 feet away from the
property and across a busy sec
ondary highway. He didn't know
of any equipment that could make
a horizontal bore, and hand dig
ging across the highway was diffi
cult and expensive.
There was only one thing to do
and that was to build his own
equipment, so he went to work dur
ing his winter in Sacramento. When
he returned to Glendale he had
his portable rig towed to Oregon.
A backhoe was obtained to cut
a trench to start the bore, and in
six hours time the drill had pene
trated the entire 90 feet under the
road, was withdrawn and disman
tled. The drill came within a foot
of its destination and two feet low
er than planned.
The machine resembles a stand

The second part is a ram, powered
