DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania —
As many as 30 gold miners may have been killed last month in cave-ins at illegal mines, the state-run Shihata news agency said Monday.

The dispatch said that as many as 30 men may have been buried when three adjacent pits collapsed last month in northwestern Tanzania near Lake Victoria.
