Jackson Bows Head | Sepulchres; 46 MINERS ARE LAID AT REST in Grief as Victims of | Disaster Are Placed in Rock One Missing JACKSON, Cal., Sept. 22.— (By The Associated Press.) — The 46 bodies recovered from the Argonaut mine fixe Sr ter heze were given final burial today tions continued for the*47th | to while search prepara- victim, William Fessel. Gov- ernment rescue crews announced that they had abandoned the search for Fessel, but that it would be continued tomor- row by special rescue crews of the Argonaut Mining company. This task and all other business and domestic activity of Jackson ceased with the inhabitants of the town gath- ered at three churches and in three cemeteries for the iinal obseques for the recovered victims. Twenty-seven bodies were borne to the Catholic church, eight to the Protestant and eleven to the Greek Catholic in three separate corteges. The services at each church were an hour apart to permit the mourners to pay final hon- ors to all of the departed. A ten piece band, playing dirges, headed each cor- tege. Over each grave was laced a wreath of flowers, the final tribute of the people of Jackson. There were many other floral offerings, a number of them contributed by the newspaper and press association representatives of San Francisco and elsewhere, “who covered” the disaster. The graves were in long rows and in front of them benches were pro- vided for the mo: ‘The relatives of the departed miners were taken to the churches and cemeteries in special conveyances. The fate of Fessel remained as great | a puzzlo as it was whep it was an- nounced that his body could not be found in the 4,350 foot drift and cross- cut where the bodies of the other vic- tims were located. According to ex- pert speculation he may have sought safety somewhere in the ventilator raise that extends from the 4,500 to the 3,900 foot level and this will be explored thoroughly. ‘The search for Fessel will be con- tinued until he hes heen found or un- til it is determined that he has been lost beyond recovery, it was announced today by E. A. Stent, vice president of the Argonaut mine. Mine officials believe that it would have been impos- sible for Fessel to have broken through the two bulkheads erected in the death drift by the entombed men. There is no doubt, they said today, that Fessel is dead.

Both places are within the zone of neutrality about the straits laid down by the treaty of Sevres.
