One miner has died and 44 miners remain trapped a half mile underground in a fire at a Noranda Inc copper mine officials said. Noranda said 26 miners had made it to a lunch room where they had air and water but 18 others were unaccounted for. Two rescue teams were searching for the missing men. Noranda spokesman Lionel Gleeton said miner Ange-Marie Kenney in his 30s died when he was caught in thick smoke about 1000 feet from the lunch room. His body was found by rescuers.
