GOLD NINE FIRE OUT,
RESCUERS HOPEFUL
Think Entombed Argonaut Men
May be Saved From Death
in Shaft.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening.


Jackson. Cal, Aug. 31,--Fire In the
shaft OF the Argonaut gold mine, in
the lowest reaches Of which ~ miners
have been imprisoned since Sunday,
ia out. but that fact brought but little
nearer hope for releasing the men
alive. The heat in the shaft is so
intense flames may break out again
at any moment, and at the earliest it
would be FIVE days before entrance TO
the mine could be gained through
Il.
Rescue teams still battle furiously
today to open up three routs Of es-
cape. Two were through passages
which workers are endeavorIng 10
cut from the, Kennedy. an adjoining
mine. while the third was through
the shaft OF the .Argonaut itself.
A second rescue corps on a level
300 feet below the group that has
worked since Monday, burrowing from
the 1900 foot level Of the Kennedy
mine toward tho Argonaut. 1900 foot
level, today had made perceptlble
progress.
Three hundred feet above them toll
and sweat the half naked workers who
have drilled in brief shifts since Mon
day to cut through more than 700 feet
Of loose dirt and timbers and thirty
feet Of hard rock. Announcement that
/ the flames we're subdued added hope
to the gray-faced groups who wait
/ in shifts at the entrance OF the pit
and gave new strength to the grim
workers battering at the rock walls
IN subterranean passages.
Hope that the miners stir are alive
was firmly held by the consulting ex-
perts. They are acting on the belief
that the men have lived through more
than 30 hours Of entombment-tha
they will be alive for five or six day,
