Rescue Grew Hopes to
Free Az Miners To-day
Workers Are Almost Ready to
Break Through Wall Inn
nrisOning Men

JACKSON, Calf, Sept. IT (By The
Associated Press).-An official predic-
ton that the rescue workers would
break through from the Kennedy to the
Argonaut mine, where forty-seven
miners have been entombed for three
weeks, before I o'clock tomorrow
morning, was made by government,
state and mining company officials to-
night.
Hopes for breaking into the Argo-
naut mine to-day were dashed by the
discovery of an error in surveying,
which indicated approximately thirty
feet of rock barrier remained to be cut
through.
Last night it seemed certain that
some time to-day the rescue crew,
which has been drilling it's way from
the 3,600-foot level of the adjoining
Kennedy mine, would make an entrance
into the 4,200-foot level of the
Argonaut.
In addition to the announcement by
w. E. Downs, surveyor and under
ground engineer of the Kennedy, that
29.7 feet remained to be drilled, the
slowness with which the powder gas
cleared away after blasting constituted
a delay to the work.
On the 3,900-foot level eleven feet
were cleared yesterday and last night,
leaving fifty-six feet to go. Even after
breaking into the Argonaut it may be
found that some of the lower levels Of
that mine have caved in, which would
necessitate boring through new bar

The 3O0-mile race, which drew many
of the most famous drivers of the
country, was won by Tommy Milton, Of
St. Paul. Time-2:46:5
The accidents occurred within few
minutes Of each other.
The first came at the fifty-mile mark,
when Murphy's car threw a wheel and
skidded. Thomas was unable to steer
around the disabled machine and
crashed into it, splitting the frame of
the champions car. Thomas's leg was
injured, possibly fractured, physicians
said tonight.
Sarles was killed at the northeast
turn at point where he was visible to
only few of the thousands witnessing
the race. His car crashed into that Of
De Paolo and jumped the top rail Of
the track, dropping twenty-five feet,
and it burst into flames. Sarles was
pinned underneath.
The mechanlcian, Pickup, was thrown
forty feet. His injuries are internal.
The accident is said TO have occurred
when the racers attempted to dodge a
tire thrown by Hearne's car.
Hearne was driving at terrific rate
of speed when the axle of his car
broke. The accident occurred at a
point near where Sarles had met death
a few minutes before.
Milton finished the race barely 100
feet ahead of Hartz. He took the lead
at thu start, rounding the first curve
at an approximate speed of l10 miles
an hous.

Sammy Spends Fortune
Pursuing Runaway Pup
Determination Is His Middle
Name; Cut OFF Finger
Once to Lose Wart

Sammy Hollander is only nine years
| old, but he has most determined ma
ture. When all other means failed to
relieve him of wart on the index fin-
ger of his right hand, Sammy visited a
sawmill, near his home at 303 South
Twentieth Street, Newark, and in jiffy
had lost both wart and finger.
Friday afternoon Sammy was the
proud possessor of 81 cents and a
scrubby dog, named Bobby, that man
had kicked out Of an automobile, near
, Harrison Field, Newark, with the re-
mark that Sammy could have it if he
wanted nice collection of feas.
The dog didn't appreciate it's new
owner, however, and at the first oppor-
tunity went Looping up the trolley tracks
toward New York Sammy boarded a
car and gave chase. He paid cents
fare and then another cents. That
took him to the ferry, and his remain
ing nickel brought him to New York,
Sammy being convinced that Bobby was
a New York dog and homesick.
Sammy, haggard and hungry, was still
hunting for Bobby when policeman
picked him up last night at Forty Sec
ond Street and Fifth Avenue. All he'd
had to eat since Friday, he said, was
an ice cream soda bought by a sym
pathetic man to whom he related the
story Of Bobby. The Newark police
said that Sammy's father and mother
and nine brothers and sisters would be
sincerely glad to have him home again
and a sister would come for him at
once.
