Lucky Friday is a silver, lead and zinc mine in northeast Idaho, near the small town of Mullan.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

NEW: 10-man rescue crews are digging out a 75-foot section deep underground

They're trying to find a man buried after part of the mine's roof collapsed on him

Another man in the same section of the mine was able to escape unharmed
