LAST HONOR PAID
GOLD MINE DEAD
Even Crews Searching for Missing
Body Stop in Labors During
Services

Jackson, Calf, Sept. 22.---The 46
bodies recovered from the Argonaut
mine were buried today.
All other business and democratic
activity of Jackson ceased. Even
down in the depths of the mountain,
the rescue crew searching for the
47th victim stopped It's iaDors.
Twenty-seven bodies were borne to
the Roman Catholic church, eight to
the Protestant and II to the Greek
Catholic church, in three separate
corteges. The services at each church
were an hour apart to permit the
mourners to pay final honors to all.
A ten piece band, playing dirges,
headed each cortege.
Over each grave was placed
wreath, the final tribute of Jackson.
The graves were in long rows and on
the front of them were provided
benches for the many mourners. The
relatives were taken to the churches
and cemeteries in special conveyan-
ces.
The fate of the missing victim,
William Fessel, remained great
puzzle today, as it was when it was
announced that his body could not be
found in the 1880 foot drift and
cross cut, where the other bodies lay.
Fessell, whose laconic message that
the gas was getting bad is the only
record left by the entombed men,
may have sought safety somewhere
in the ventilator raise that extends
from the 4,50O to the $500 foot lev
el. This will be explored thoroughly.
The search for Fessel will be con-
tinued until he has been found or un-
til it is determined that he has been
. lost beyond recovery, it was an
nounced today by E. A. Stent, vice
president Of the Argonaut mine. Mine
officials believe it would have been
impossible for Fessell sto have broken
-ssjiszazga the two hulsheads erected in
the death drift BY the entombed men.
There is no doubt, they said today,
that Fessel is dead.
The distribution of relief funds to
the dependents of the victims is in
hands of the Red Cross and the COM
pensation department of the state in
dustrial accident commission. Every
four. weeks for 240 weeks each de-
pendent widow or next of kin will re-
ceive check from the state. These
checks range from s62 to SS4.
The Argonaut will resume mining
as soon as the workers wish it. The
fire, which caused the tragedy, is out,
with loss of s125,OO0 to the mining
company.
Governor Stevens will appoint a
party of mining experts to investi-
gate the disaster, his secretary an
nounced today. The investigation
was requested by the mining compa-

Fellow members! Be ready to
lend helping hand when called upon
to help out with the local talent show
to be put on at an early date. We
are counting on the united support
Of the members Of the post! You
will enjoy the work and al the same
time you will be helping to replenlsn
the posts treasury. We need ''ser-
vice fund" Cur post ought to have
a post banner. 1t is about time that
we provided bronze markers for the
graves of our comrades who sleep in
our cemeteries. And there are other
needs you can think of where funds
can be expended to advantage. Let's
all pull together.
Are you reading the articles, "Who
Got the Money!" by Marquis James,
now running in the Legion Weekly!
If not, look them up and you will find
them interesting In the series OF
articles Mr.. James discloses the ex-
tent of profteering during the war
and in the period of liquidation fol-
lowing it and gives some outstanding
and outrageous examples. In the is
sue of Sept. %, he cites the follow
ing as Sample Problems from a
Profteer's Arithmetic" with solu-
tions):
A manufacturer had two contracts
for the same product. In one he was
to use government material, in the
other his own.
He used government material IN
both, pocketing the difference OF
100000.
A contractor purchasing supplies
and delivering them on his own con:
tracts with the government was re-
imbursed on the basis of certificates
made by government inspector at
the point Of purchase. The contrac-
tor substituted forged certificates for
the originals furnished him by the
Inspector, thereby increasing the
: amount paid by the government.
A contractor manufactured copper
shell-bands from government nlateri-
al under contract specifs iGg taat- al
scrap should become the contractors
property.
! The contractor rolled the copper
into sheets and punched out the cir
cular bands like doughnuts. In this
way each sheet yielded more scrap
iron than it did metal for the shell
bands.
Our sixteen national army canton
ments cost 100000; experts say
they should have cost $12S,0O0, 900.
We, spent ss27,45O,0oo for Ameri-
can-made shetland fired 10000 III
battle. Altogether to outfit our
war time army we spent s15,o0o,-
100000 worth of public funds-your
taxes. What became Of it?
You will find James articles en-
tightening along this line. Read
them.

tendent.
Under the new arrangements, Col.

ulty will return to their positions, no
