WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. Rail

When the original emergency

Unless further orders of the com

STILL STRIVE
Pressure On Side Waifs of Re
lief Tunnei Halts Relief
Crews Fire in Shaft Out
and if Miners Survived it,
Stilt Chance of Saving Their
Lives.
t
JACKSON', Calif., Aug. 31. The
dawn of the fourth day o the battle
of lio and death at the Argonaut
mine, where 47 milters are entomb
ed, found rescue crews siiii fighting
desperately against seemingly insur
mountable odds. Meanwhile hope of
bringing the men out aitve is slowly
fading.
Yesterday it was believed that the
hour of delivery through a new cut
being driven from the 3S00 foot level
of the Kennedy mine into the iower
levels ot the Argonaut was near. Re
ports were spread that the burrowing
miners in the rescue parly were
within one hundred feet of the Ar
gonaut shaft. Today these reports
are officially discredited. It is an
nounced that 530 feet of rock and
earth still separate the rescue par
ty la the 3800 foot level of the Ken
nedy from the Argonaut shaft.
' Crews are still feverishly digging
in this level, attenvnt!jJg"to reach the
Argonaut workings, but their efforts
are hindered by pressure against the
side waiis of the sew drift, necessi
tating timbering.
After this distance has been bor
ed. It wilt be necessary to make a
raise of 50.3? feet to connect with
the Argonaut workings. This means
a longer wait before the rescued men
can begin searching the lower lev
els and drifts o the Argonaut for
the entombed miners.
Three Routes for Escape
JACKSON,- Cal Aug, 31 Three
routes of escape from the pitch black,
smoke-choked undermine drifts to the
sunlight and open are possible to 47
miners imprisoned since midnight Sun
day in the lower levels of the Argonaut
mine. Two "are through passages
which workers are endeavoring to cut
from the Kennedy, an adjoining mine.
The third is through the shaft o the
Argonaut itBeif. A second rescue corps,
on a level 30u feet i;eow the group that
has worked since Monday to reach the
entombed men, today had made per
ceptible progress. It will be a long
siege through 600 to 800 feet ot loose
dirt before a 149 foot waii of solid
slate is reached. This second corps,
starting at six o'clock las nlgbt is
working from the 3900 foot level of the
Kennedy mine, burrowing toward the
4400 foot level of the Argonaut,
Three hundred feet above them toil
and sweat the half-naked men who
have drilled la brief shifts since 'Mon
day to cut through more than 700 test
of loose dirt and timbers and thirty
feet of hard rock. They struck a cave
rn last night, slowing their progress.
They .estimated there wduid be be
tween 90 and 100 feet more of rock and
dirt to be cleared.
Fire in Shaft Out
The fire in the mine shaft Is out.
This was the announcement las night
of experts working in. the Argonaut
shaft itself. The heat In the shaft,
they Baid, was bo intense that flames
may break out again at any time. It
will be five days before an entrance
may be made through the flame
charred section above the 3000 foot
level- to reach the men on the levels
below,
Hescue workers descending the shaft
this morning got as far as the 2400
foot level fa ore skips and went 100
feet further on ladders. They found
the smoke greatly diminished. The
water pipes at the side of the shaft
were stiii too hot to touch. Tempera
ture at the 2500 foot mark was ten de
grees hotter than sixty feet above, but
there was little gas.
The second attempt to reach the
Argonaut lower ievelsfrom the Ken
nedy was Use result of. a meeting of
rescue expswls from mines of the
Mother Lode and from the state and
federaLmine rescue departments. This
body last night took charge of rescue
work.
Hone that tfie miners are stilt alive
wag Btiil firmly held by the consulting
experts. They are acting on the belief
that if the men have lived through;

ated Press), Otis Clark, a union
miner, the firBt man imlieted by the
special grand Jury investigating the
Herrin massacre, in which 22 persons
were kiiied, surrendered shortly before
noon. He is charged with the murder
of C. K. McDowell, sttnerinteiKtent of
the iester striss mine, where the mas
sacre occurred.
The indictment of Ciark, it was
learned, resulted from alleged boasts
attributed to him shortly after the
massacre when some believed there
would ha no investigation that he
participated in the killing of McDowell.
