Tunnel Number Six, Eugene Derby , single work short story science fiction
Miners working an Australian vein of magnetic ore hear a voice calling for help. It seems to come from the solid rock. While trickery is ruled out, the repeated incident seems unfathomonable until a scientist investigates and succeeds in recording the voice. The explanation is that the magnetite acted as a telephone line. What was heard was an American prisoner in a Siberian iron mine (ctd. Bleiler p.192).
