SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1916
The United States public
heaitn service Mas just added an
omer to tne long list ot tnmgs
tnat one snouiu avoid if one ex
pects to live to a ripe old age.
ut course, we have grown so
usea to oeing told to "beware
since tne scientinc ciiaps got to
snooping into tilings with that
wonuertul discerner of lurking
evils, the micropscope, that many
ot us nave come to believe that
something deadly lies hidden in
nearly everything we encounter
and it is littie use to dodge for we
will only run into something
worse. In fact, it is rather dif
ficult to think of anything to
which a scientific “beware ’ has
not been attached We are
taught that the deadly germ or
mcicrobe is lurking in the most
unexpected places and that un
seen dangers lie concealed in
everything from buttons hooks to
kisses. Indeed, it may truly be
said that “beware” has become a
national watchword. No matter
how innocent a thing may look,
along comes some highbrowed
person and informs us that it
conceals a serious menace in the
shape of an invisible bug whose
bite will speedily translate us
from a healthy inhabitant of the
germ obsessed world to an ether*
ealized denizen of the abode of
the blessed. Yet, in the midst
of all these scientific inhibitions,
which have led us to view as
dangerous almost everything, one
might reasonably accept the or
dinary tin can as something con
taining no potcntialites of disas~
ter.
Vet. it developcs that even the
tin can is dangerous to the pub
lic health. That is unless we take
certain precautions. This is not
a joke, remember, but a sure
enough scientific fact duly veri
fied by the government. On this
irrefutable authority the seem
ingly inoffensive can is a very
deadly thing and possesses tre
mendous possibilities of barm
This is not to say that the fa
miliar receptable should be shun
ned where ever found. It is not
always dangerous. But, under
certain circumstances, it is a ver
itable breeding ground for disas
ter. In truth, if ocnditions are
propitious, the can is more dead
ly than dynamite for the reason
that the enects it may be respon
siuie tor producing are capable of
reaching a great deal farther
than a carload of that explosive
Liiven a warm and slightly damp
atmosphere and the can may be
come an object of dreadful pos
Iibilities. One empty tomato
.an, for instance, lying in a back
ot may be the means of spread*
l .ng sickness and death over a
► tremendous area. And the rea
son is this: The expert investiga
tors of the public health service
have found that discarded cans
containig rain water are excel
lent breeding places for the mos
quito which is the sole agent in
spreading malarial fever. Now,
who would have thought it? One
apparently inoffensive can as
sisted by a little rain water, may
breed enough of the germ bear
ing mosquitoes to put tne popu
lation ot a townsite out of com
mission and pernaps send a num
ber 01 individuals to sojourn with
rather Aoraham where there is
neither sorrow nor distress and
where the cheerful song of the
mosquito is stilled forever. Of
course the can may be rendered
innocuous by the simple process
of punching a hole in the bottom,
it may then be used for a dec
oration for the back yard with
out the least particle of fear that
something will jump out of it
and bite one. It all depends on
the hole, you see. If the hole is
there one need have no fear but
if you neglect the precaution of
rendering the can harmless be
fore employing it as a fresco you
can never be sure that the germ
bearing mosquito will not gent
ly inse’f his b'ftle snickersnee
into your system and send you to
the doctor or undertaker
YOUNG MINER INJURED
IN AN EXPOSION
So terribly injured that it is
very doubtful if he will be able
to survive, Axel Sundberg, a
young miner, is lying at the point
of death at St. Joseph’s hospi
tal as the result of injuries he
sustained in an explosion under
ground on the Niggerhead asso
ciation claim last Saturday after
noon says the Fairbanks Citizen
of March 28.
Dr. H. J. McCallum is attend
ing the case. He states that
Sundberg may survive, but that

he will be a cripple for life and
will prouaoly lose tlie signt ol
ootn ot ms eyes, certainty tne
ngut one- tie is injuteu in more
tnan loo places. U un tlie excep
tion ol tne smaller digit an of
tne lingers ot tne rigtu nand are
mown entirety away; ms skull
is caved in on one side and there
are two compound fractures in
ms ngut leg below the knee.
Should ^undDif.g die as the
result of his injuries, the causes
which led up to the explosion in
the drift where he was working
will probably never be known.
The accident happened about
1130 o’clock Saturday afternoon,
and the injured man was brought
to town from Olnes on the after
noon train. He was very weak
as the result of the loss of blood.
Dr. McCallum stated last even
ing that if he is strong enougli
today an operation on the injur*
ed hand will be performed. So
far nothing has been done beyond
dressing the wounds.
Sundberg is a partner in the
operations being carried on on
the Niggerhead claim, on lower
Dome. Victor Kleinschmidt, one
of the owners of the ground, and
Jim Pearson, are interested in
the lease with him. Mr- Klein
schmidt came to town with the
injured man.
As nearly as can be learned,
Sundberg, John Knight and an
other man were working in the
drift at the time that the explo
sion took place. Sundberg was
engaged in blowing bedrock with
powder at one end of the cross
cut at the end of the tunnel,
while the other two men were
working at the other end , Jim
Pearson, one of the other part
ners, had been working with
Sundberg, but had gone on top
on an errand.
The explosion which so nearly
cost Sundberg his life and which
will leave him injured permanent
ly, was heard by the two men
working in the opposite end of
the tunnel from him. They
thought nothing of it however,
as they knew what he was doing.
Therefore, the injured man was
not found until about 15 minutes
after the explosion took place, or
until Piirson returned to his
work underground, after his trip
on top.
It is thought that the stjck of
dynamite exploded while it was
in Sundberg’s right hand, as that
Pmfpnber was practically blown
away. By some who are familiar
with the circumstances sur
rounding the case; it is thought
that he fell and that the powder
was exploded in that manner.
Others think that Sundberg was
attempting to fix the explosive
cap to the dynamite Aside from
the injuries already named,
Sundberg’s body is pierced in
more than a hundred places with
small pieces of rock blown by
the explosion
