Carlsbad-An Intrepid Potash mine maintenance supervisor stranded for more than five hours on Monday, April 5, in an underground man-hoist was rescued in good spirits and without any injuries. Intrepid officials said the rescue plan was worked out with local Mine Safety and Health Administration and New Mexico State officials, and that the cause of the stoppage of the hoist is still under investigation. All the while, they reported, the man was in constant communication with his rescuers. They said he was investigating a localized power outage at the Intrepid East Mine. While he was riding the man-hoist on a routine trip through the east mine shaft it stopped moving. Intrepid’s statement provided no details of the rescue.
