With Debris.
BY International New. Service.

JACKSON. Cal, Sept. Slope
of rescuing alive the forty-seVen
fire-trapped miners in the depth OF
the Argonaut gold mine here to-
day was materially lessened when
rescue crews reported that after
piercing one Of the stone walls In
the Kennedy mine at the 3,6oO.foot
level, they found the drift toward
the Argonaut blocked with muck
and broken timbers.
1t IL estimated the rescue work
will be delayed for two or three
days by this unexpected obstruc-
tlon before the rescuers can reach
the last remaining seventy-five-foot
wall separating the Argonaut from
the Kennedy. The obstructed tun-
mel through which II is planned
to reach the last remaining barrier
is 353 feet long.
Part of It can be NEGOTIATED, hut
II is necessary to remove the
greater part Of the debris in order
to lay water pipes and tubes for
the feeding Of compressed air to
the powerful drills which wilr he
used to cut through the quartz
wall.
Officials state that the entombed
miners have sufficient air and
water, but now the question Of
food to sustain life, II life still
exists, is causing them anxiety.
Some progress was reported by
the shift boss of the crew working
toward the Argonaut from the
3,90o.foot level Of the Kennedy.
The tunnel which is being cleared
from this point is 100 feet long.
but at the end. separating the two
mines, is 141-foot quartz wall.
To pierce this wall. experts esti.
mate It would require four days
and nights of constant drilling.
Small apertures made by q dis-
mond drill through this substance
will be used to force air. water and
food to the stricken miners, II II
10 found they are still alive.
