Would Be Rescuers Also
Trapped In California
Mountain Cabin
AUBURN, Calif., OP) — Snowed
in a mountain cabin for 25 days
four gold miners are doing fine,
according to radio reports from
two Air Force parachutists who
joined them Wednesday.
But now all six men are
snowbound.
J. J. (Jack) Sturgill, 63; his
son, Mack, 24, grandson, Larry,
21, and Bill RubincUhl were
trapped by heavy snows in their
placer mine cabin on American
Hill Ridge March 18.
They have plenty of food and J
fuel. But when Ralph Sturgill
of Sacramento, father of Larry,
flew over the cabin this week
he saw only three men.
Ralph called the Air Force
rescue unit at Hamilton Air
Force Base. Paramedics T. Sgt.
L. M. Vigare and Airman W. C.
Richard B. Sherlin parachuted
in with a radio, snow shoes and
medical supplies.
They found all four men in
good health.
The problem is now to get out.
There’s only about two feet
of snow at the cabin, which is .
at 4,000 feet elevation. But to
get to the nearest civilization
they have to go 25 miles over
a 6,000-foot ridge covered with
about 15 feet of snow.

Three Men Charged In
Attempt To Transmit
Phony Signal of Sputnik I
LOS ANGELES, UP> — Three
electronic engineers have been
charged with operating an un
licensed radio station that broad
cast on the same frequency as
the Russian earth satillite Sput
nik I. •
Asst. U. S. Attorney T. Con
rad Judd said they did it as a
prank on amateur radio opera
tors attempting to track the
satellite.
To be arraigned in U. S. Dis
trict Court today on charge of
operating the unlicensed radio
transmitter are Rulon D. Jensen,
30, Dean L. Hanson, 29, both of
Los Angeles, and Fred W. Field
Jr., 29, of suburban Torrance.
They have not commented on the
accusation.
The phony signals weite heard
by monitoring stations as far
away as Alaska, Georgia and
Hawaii, Judd said.
The three engineers, who
work at an aircraft plant, are
licensed as amateurs to operate
on other frequencies, but none
was licensed to transmit on 20.005
megacycles—Sputnik’s frequency.
The battery-operated transmit
ter was set up about Dec. 21 in
a remote area of the Angeles Na
tional Forest and signals were
transmitted automatically for
three minutes every hour, Judd
said. The transmitter broadcast
j automatically, Judd said.
