AZ ENToMBED MINERS
FOUND DEAD
Believe Men Lived Only Short Time
Bravery Shown in Mems Last
Actions.

Jackson, CALL, sept. 1o.-All Iofty-
seven of the miners entombed in the
Aygonaut mine August 27 are dead,
It was announced officially shortly
before 9 O'Clock tonight.
A note found on one of the bodies
indicated that all the men had died
within five hours of the beginning
of the fire August 27, officials said.
All the miners were found behind
the second of two bulkheads- they had
built in a cross cut 1850 feet down
in the Argonaut. Byron O. Pickard,
chief of the federal bureau Of mines
for this district, was the first man to
go behind the bulkhead and discovered
the bodies.
Pickard, on an earlief exploration
behind the oulkhead, had counted
forty-two bodies and expressed the
belief then that there were Others
there.
The note found read as follows:
"3 a. M, gas bad"
The same note bore a scrawled
figure "a" apparently indicating the
same man had attempted to leave
word for those who might come after
them.
Mine officials declared that the
condition of the cross cut behind thu
bulkhead was such that life could moi
have been sustained there by the en-
tonbed men for more than five hours
The bodies were found piled one OF
top of another and decomposition hat
progressed so far that identification
would be impossible, Pickard said.
The mine officials said that thj
actions of the men, as evidenced b!
the bulkheads they built and othe
matters, indicated they had diet
within five hours after being entombe'
The officials declared that the NUT
evidence of the mems struggles show
ed they were forty-seven of the mos
cool-headed men Imaginable.
Sixteen of the entrapped miner
removed their clothing to provid
material for stuffing the cracks il
the wooden barrier, hastily construct
ed, which was found early this even
ing.
Then another barrier was built o
rock, earth and debris. However, tn
gas and the fumes from the fire ap
parently seeped through the frs
bulkhead and the men fled from tn
site where they were building tn
second one to start a third, farther OF
This third attempt to wall off tn
death h-dealing gas was made at tn
end of the 1850 foot cross cut in th
Argonaut, but the fact that only
bare start was made at it proved, tn
mine officials said, that the deadl
carbon monoXide and the suffocatin
dioxide had reached it ana performe
their fatal office before the forty
seven unfortunates could raise eve
an excuse for barrier.
Mine officials said that death can
to the entombed men painiessly.
The gasses, they said, would pr
duce first lethargy, then a com
and finally death.

DR.. Charles NJ. Emmons was re-
elected president of the East Wash
ington Citizens Association at the
fifty-third annual meeting last night
at East Washington Hall, Pennsyl-
vania avenue between Sd and 4th
streets southeast. Other officers re-
elected are:

dent; Clarence Donohoe, second vice
president, and c. Howard Buckler,

the Public Library in East WASH
membership. The library. it was said.
will be opened some time in Decem-
ber. A resolution was unanimously
adopted by the association, thanking
DR.. George +. Bowerman and Theo-
dore w. Noyes for their aid in secur-
ing the branch library.
Fight Smoke Nuisance.
The attention of the association
was called to the amount of black
smoke that is rising daily through
out the city. 1t was ordered that a
suggestion be made to the coal deal
ers to urge the use of more hard coal
by the residents of the city. Particu-
lar stress was laid on the gradual
coating of public buildings by the
smoke. These, it was stated, will need
a thorough washing before the Shrine
convention here next June if the use
of soft coal is allowed to be con-
tinued in such volume.
An inquiry was ordered by the
membership as to why the new fire
apparatus recently installed in the
fire engine house on South Carolina
avenue between 9Th and 7th streets
southeast was moved to Congress
Heights, leaving. it was alleged. an
antiquated service. 1t was pointed
out that while there was probably
a need of an up-to-date apparatus
in Congress Heights, there was more
need of it on South Carolina avenue,
as that engine house is the nearest
one to the Capitol and House office
building and Providence Hospital
Various members of the association
stated that the present engine at the
engine house on South Carolina ave-
nue. was constantly getting out of
order.
