solid dirt bank at the Argonaut end.
Men attempting in mine 'skips" to
ride down through the flaming levels
were dragged back to the surface.
Their faces blackened, they came to
gasp eagerly for fresh air and to tell
OF the hopelessness of the trip below.
Flames which started at the $1,000
foot level had worked up above the
2.400-foot level. A half mile below the
earth's surface men sought to break
through a concrete barrier which long
has sealed the shaft Of the Argonaut
from the shaft of the neighboring
mine, the Kennedy.
One miner who spoke with the
knowledge Of a worker from the mine
drifts said: "The boys can't get
through that wall in a MONTH"

The other side wall, which faces the

Each pen is floored with planks

These floors cover half the mems

plenty of bedding and a space be-
