                      Landslide Buries 83 Workers in Tibet

   China`s state-run media say no survivors or bodies have been found a
   day after a massive landslide buried 83 workers at a gold mine in a
   mountainous area of Tibet.
   The official Xinhua news agency said the landslide covered a three
   square kilometer area early Friday morning, burying a workers` camp at
   the mining site about 70 kilometers east of the Tibetan capital, Lhasa.
   Search efforts are being hampered by continuing smaller landslides, the
   4,600-meter altitude and temperatures below freezing. The severe cold
   is affecting the noses of search dogs.
   More than a thousand rescuers have been dispatched to the area.
