MINER'S BODIES
FOUND BEHIND A
SECONDJULKHEAD
All Enlnmbed Miners In Gold Mine
Died Within live Honrs After the
Starting of Fire In Shaft,
Say Experts.
Jackson, Calif., Sept 19. All forty-
seven of the entombed miners In the
Argonaut mine since August 27 are
dead, it was announced shortly be
fore 8 o'clock last night
A note found on one of the bodies
Indicated that all the men had died
within five hours of the beginning of
the fire on August 27, officials said.
All tho miners were 'found behind
the second of two bulkheads they had
built In a cross cut 4,350 feet down In
the mine.
Byron O. Plckard, Chief of the Fed
eral Bureau of Mines for this district,
was the first man to go behind tho
bulkhead and found the bodies.
Plckard, on an earlier exploration
behind this bulkhead, had counted
forty-two bodies, and expressed the
belief then that there wore othors
there.
The note found read as follows:
"Three a. m., gas bad."
The same note bore scrawled figure
I , apparently Indicating the same
man had attempted to leave word for
those who might come after of the
condition ot the mine at that hour
Mine officials declared that the con
dition of th ecross cut behind the bulk-
bead was such that life could not have
ben sustained there by the entombed
miners for more than five hours.
The bodies were piled on top of one
auother and decomposition had pro
gressed so far that identification
would be Impossible Plckard reported
Tho mine officials said that the ac
tions of the men as evidenced by the
bulkheads they built and other matters
indicated that they died within five
hours after being entombed.
The officials declared the mute evi
dence of the men's struggles showed
they were forty-seven of the most
cool-headed men imaginable.
Sixteen of the entrapped miners re
moved their clothes to provide mate
rial for stuffing the cracks in the
wooden barrier hastily constructed
A bich was found early this evening,
Then another barrier was built of
rock, earth and debris. However, the
;as and fumes from the fire apparent
ly seoped through the first bulkhead,
ind the men fled from the site where
.hey were building the second one to
Uart a third, farther on.
Tills third attempt to wall off the
ieath-deallng gas was made at the
nd of the 4,350-foot crosscut In the
Argonaut, but the fact that only a bare
itart was made at It proved, the mine
officials said, that the deadly carbon
monoxide and tho suffocating carbon
dioxide had reached it and performed
their fatal office before the forty-seven
unfortunates couliL raise even an ex
cuse for a barrier.
Mine officials said that death had
come to the entombed men painlessly,
The gases, they said, would produce
first a lethargy, then a coma, and fin
ally death.
Jackson as a whole took the tragic
news calmly and courageously, 'ine
general topic of conversation, except
In the Immediate family circles of the
dead, was arrangements for tho fu
neral.

WONDERFUL DOG ACTOR
TAKES TOUCHING PART
Do animals think? There are few
persons at the present time who would
answer in the negative. If there be
those who have not yet had the oppor
tunity of observing some of the mar
velous demonstrations of animal saga
city let them see "The Stranger" "lit
tie pard." "Queente" at the Pastime
Theater Wednesday.
If Queenle does not show as much
Intelligence, and more acting ability
than some stars, then we don't know
what acting is and this Is not uncom
plimentary to said stars, Quncnie
played in the "Miracle Man" so she is
serving no noviate In "The Stranger.''
It has been pointed out that mon
grels make the best trick dogs
Queenle is no exception to the rule
and while she may lack "breeding" she
Is nevertheless a verv Intelligent lady
and proof that the fciulnne brain is a
most capable organ.
Maurice MaeterllnU, the pre t Bel
gian author has written exteVs'p' - rti
the mental, development of animal7
He compares 'ho capacity of horf
and dogs to that of a nine year old
child. Should he ever make the ac
quaintance of Queenle In "The Strang-
er" we feel sure he will boost the ace
limit by a few or five years.
