JACKSON, Sept. 19. - This little mining town has paid the toll de- manded of those who delve in the earth for gold, and it stands today unafraid, but not dry-eyed. Forty seven of her men died in the Argon- aut mine during the early morning hours of August twenty eight. The
 end of the story concerning the en- tombment of the forty-seven miners trapped in the Argonaut mine when fire broke out at the 3600-foot level on that date, was told shortly be- fore nine o'clock last night when the bodies of all forty-seven of the ill- cut at the 4300-foot level by a crew of resuers who had penetrated to the inner workings of the mine. The bodies of the men were piled one on top of the other, and they were so badly decomposed that rec ognition was declared to be im- pOSSlDlo.

Gas bad" which the rescuers de- clared indicated that the men had died within five hours of the time they had been entrapped by the eX- plosion. The same note had on it a scrawled figure 4, which, it is pre- sumed, was written in an attempt to record the condition of the mine. Evidences of the struggles of the victims are declared to show them to have been forty-seven of the cool est-headed men imaginable. A double bulk head had been constructed in cross-cut at the 4300-foot level in an attempt to shut off the sweep of fumes from the fire overhead. The first bulkhead, built of timbers, was stuffed with clothing which the men had torn from their bodies for the purpose; the second, which was only partly built, had been construct ed of rocks and earth, but the gas had apparently come through the
