YOUNG MINER
MEETS HORRIBLE
DEATH
Mike Pasich, a young miner, met death
in a horrible manner at the workings
of the Gold Mill Minging Company. <»n
Gold hth, when two slabs of earth, fall
ing in quick succession from tie- root
of the urift where he was working,
crushed out his life says a recent issue
of the Fairbanks Citizen. In fact, it tin
be said that the man died a living death,
for, standing enveloped to his middle in
the fulling debris of the lirst slab, he
could see the second, which eventually
crushed out his life, falling from the
roof of tor drift. In the meantime he
called tor help, which reached him just
as the second slab fell on him. Work
was started immediately removing the
dirt, but when the laborers reached the
body, about 4' minutes inter, life was
extinct. -»n examination revealed the
fact that the chest of the man was cav
ed In, while his neck and one of ids
logs were broken. It is therefore sup
posed that he was unable to help him
self after the first slab came down, on
account of the broken leg. the second
slab being held accountable for tin* fur
ther mutilation of the body.
