At the Argonaut Geld Mine, Jackson,
CaL. Aug. 29. (U. P.) Death was
winning , a desperate battle today for
the lives of 43 men entombed nearly a
mile below the surface.
Dawn lit the pals faces of weary
rescue workers who iiad tolled through
out the night.
Huddled on cars that used to bring
the gold to the surface, a pathetic
group of wives and children of the
doomed men watched the proceedings
which hourly grew raore hopeless.
The -entombed men, cut off by fire,
had little chance of being rescued.
They had struggled to a level where
the air was a little better, but It was
believed Impossible that they would be
brought out alive.
HOPES ABB BLASTED
A loaded skip was monotonously shot
down into the depths, plumbing the
level on which the men were believed
to be crouching.
Each time the skin shot downward.
a wave of hope surged through the
watching throng. The hope grew less
as time after time it cams up empty.
Miners who were not caught by the
blast of fire worked in endless shifts.
Many ,of those who were off shift re
fused to go "home to sleep. They re

watching.
The miners had grren up hope but
still they remained.
