Abandoned in Idaho

FLASHBACK

"One miner missing after mine collapse

BOISE — One miner was missing and a rescue operation was underway yesterday after a collapse at a mine in northern Idaho. Hecla Mining Co. spokeswoman Melanie Hennessey said the collapse occurred about 5:30 p.m. Friday at Lucky Friday Mine in Mullan. Officials said a portion of the mine is blocked, and one miner is missing. Hecla mines silver from two mines, Greens Creek and Lucky Friday (AP)."

"Progress still could be slowed by boulder-sized rocks and the time-consuming work of shoring up tunnels from further collapse."
