AZ Argonaut Miners Be-
lieved Dead For Many
Days
FOUND LAST NIGHT
Buried a Mile Below Surface Miners
Stiffled by Gas Strip Clothes to
Chinck 1arrier-Are Prepared For
Burial.
By United PresS.)

At the Argonaut Gold Mine, Jack
son, Calf, Sept. 19.-Corpses of
forty seven miners were prepared for
removal today from their golden
tomb" in the depths of the Argonaut
mine. Rescue squads, searching
through the caverns and tunnels 1850
underground for the men who were
trapped by explosion, cave in and
fire 22 days ago late last night came
on a bulkhead rudely constructed
across side drift, its cracks and
chinks stuffed with odds and ends Of
clothing, shirts, jackets to keep out
the deadly gas.
Breaking through this they came
upon a second barrier, but half finish
ed. Behind this was third, work on
which had just started. And beyond,
in their last trench, lay the bodies OF
the Al. Driven to the wall By the
fingers of lethal gas, they had died Of
suffocation within five hours after
they were trapped in the depths.
Two notes were found. One. scrawl-
ed by VIM. F. Fessel, said: three
O'Clock, gas coming in strong the
other said: Gas too strong, we will
have to 60" An effort had been made
to scrawl a third, but the figure
-four rudely scribbled was all the
man had written.
From the traces left behind, the
first bulk head, the two partially
finished, and the condition of the
bodies, the grim story of their, fight
for life nearly mile below the sur
face was reconstructed.
The AZ miners must have been
working close together when they
were cut off by the fire on ifByust
y. For a while they evidently search
ed for means of escape and, finding
none, coolly decided to block off the
gas and hold out as long as possible.
William Fessel, Judging from the
fact that he scribbled the communi-
ques which were found acted as lead
er. They retreated into the tunnel
selected for a last stand and there,
in the dim glow Of their working
lights set about constructing a barri-
cade against death, which came steal
ing after them down the corridor.
The breath Of death. in the form
of puffs of lethal fumes. came
through the chinks. Sixteen of the
miners stripped off their clothes and
stuffed these garments into the
holes and cracks. But still the gas
trickled in. They retreated from the
barricade, deeper into the tunnel,
and there started work on second
bulkhead. But they had to leave the
lob unfinished, and huddle together
in the end of their tunnel. Here hem
med by rock veined with gold the
men waited for the fumes to over
come them.
The effects of the gas are painless,
producing first profound sleepiness,
then unconsciousness followed by
death. Last night-three weeks after
the last act in this tragedy was en-
acted-the rescue squads tore through
the bulkhead and found all that was
left of the II.

EXPOSING PROFITS.

Senator Watson Of Indiana, says that while he
favors provisions for the greater extension of credit
to farmers, he fears that this will not strike at the
root of the farmers problem. Borrowing money
never did bring prosperity to anybody, and it can
not 10 SO now.
Borrowing to tide over all emergency is sound
business policy, provided the facts warrant it. But,
repaid by drawing on the accommodations of the past
or out of the accutnulations Of the future. If a
business has yielded no accommodations, and ha5no
prospect of any in the future, it is an unsafe busi-
ness on which to loan OF to borrow. The lender
must lose his money, and the borrower will load
himself with obligations that he cannot meet.
Borrowing to increase working capital may
also be good business, but agail. the business it.
self must be profitable, or there must be good pros
pect that it will be made profitable through the
ren1unerative use of the new capital.
Senator Watson believes that borrowing can
be only a palliative, and that readjustment of freight
rates, tariff rates, sand so forth, while desirable in
themselves, can give only minor relief. He sees
greater premise Of relief in exposing profits all along
the line, so that if there is any place between pri-
mary producer and ultimate consumer, where any
one is making excessive profits, action may be
taken intelligently to correct that defect.
1t is a matter of common knowledge that the
farm producer today does not receive prices prop
erly proportioned to the prices which he must pay
for his own purchases. 1t is apparent that the
goods are passing through too many hands. or that
some of the handlers are collecting too much for
their services. Excellent service could be given
the country by the existing government agencies in
publishing, regularly and Systematically, lists Of
commodity prices. as the articles pass from hand to
hand, SO that if there is a glazing inequality any
where it will be brought properly to public atten-
ton.
