BELIEVE MINERS
ARE STILL ALIVE
Reward Of 5000 Offered to the First
Crew that Breaks Through Into
Argonaut Mine.

jackson, Cal, Sept. O., lBy the As.
sociated Press)--A signed statement
which company, government and state
officials made public today declares
the belief that every one of the AZ
miners entombed in the Argonaut mine
is alive. The conclusion is based on a
chemical test made last night.
1--WE believe that every man in the
mine is alive" the statement says.
Chemical tests made at five p. m. yes
terday prove this. In substantiation
Of our belief we now offer $1,000 re-
ward to the first crew that breaks
into the Argonaut mine.'
The basis for the assertion that none
Of the miners was dead was the alb
sence of any of the gasses emanating
from dead bodies in the air coming
from the Argonaut lower levels as dis
closed by the chemical tests. -
The statement bears the signatures
Of the men in charge Of rescue opera
tions which have been in progress since
a week ago Sunday night, when fire
trapped the miners.
1t was announced that. an old timber
bulkhead has been encountered on the
5000 foot level Of the Kennedy shaft.
1t is expected that this would be
chopped through by to-day.
