1 88 Miners Survive
Mine Explosion,
37 Others Die
SPRINGHILL, N.S. liPV—Eighty
eight miners, all but given up
for dead two days ago, survived
Thursday's explosion in the No. 4
Cumberland colliery, the Domin
ion Coal Co. announced today.
Thirty-seven other men died.
Shortly after the 38th man
emerged from the mine early
today, a police official at the pit
head said there were no more sur
vivors. The company later con
firmed this and issued a new list
of dead showing there were four
bodies still in the mine.
Rescue efforts were held up for
a time when a crew had to seal
off a mine section where fire
threatened to set off a second ex
plosion. After the closing opera
tion was completed, the rescuers
had to wait several hours while
gas fumes cleared.
The miners were trapped in
tunnels more than half a mile be
low the surface. A mine accident
in this town of 8,000 persons took
125 lives in 1891.

Charles Bunnell,
Former President
Of Alaska U., Dies
COLLEGE, Alaska, Nov. 1—Dr.
Charles E. Bunnell, president
emeritus of the University of
Alaska, died today in San Fran
cisco after a long illness.
Dr. Bunnell’s daughter, Jean,
who holds an administrative post
with San Francisco State College,
was with him at the time of his
death. Funeral arrangements are
pending.
Upon learning about Dr. Bun
nell’s death, Dr. Ernest N. Patty,
university president, said:
“Alaska has lost another of its
great pioneers. Dr. Bunnell spent
56 years of his life in Alaska and
these were productive years, for
he loved Alaska and dedicated his
life to its improvement. He was a
distinguished educator and jurist.
His greatest contribution was as
president of the University of
Alaska during its pioneering
years. If it had not been for his
skill, inflexible will and courage,
there would not be a university,
today, on College Hill.”
Dr. Bunnell lived a long and
varied life in Alaska. He was born
Jan 12, 1878, on a farm about one
half mile from Dimock, Pa. He
graduated summa cum laude from
Rucknell University June 20,
1900, and later earned his M.A.
from that institution while teach
ing in Alaska. His first post was
on Wood Island across the strait
from Kodiak, Alaska.

Resident and
Project Engineers
Meet in Anchorage
ANCHORAGE, Nov. 1—Resi
dent and project engineers—the
on-the-job men responsible for
all military construction super
vised by the Alaska District Corps
of Engineers for the U.S. Army
and Air Force—were in confer
ence today at district headquar
ters in Anchorage.
They came from remote places
and the big military bases,
and from installations known as
TACAN and Whitp Alice and
AC&W. They came from stormy
islands and beyond the Arctic
Circle, from the coast to the deep
interior, and from rivers and
small boat harbors where the dis
trict’s expanding civil works pro
gram is in progress.
“You are the men on the firing
line,” Col. Pierre V. Kieffer Jr.
Alaska Disltrict Engineer, told
them. “You are the equivalent of
front line commanders and you
have the authority. Many of your
jobs are lonely. Like commanders,
you have to make decisions, stand
by them, and take action.
“You have the responsibility
and authority to shut down any
unsafe practice or stop any un
safe work,” Col. Kieffer added.
Resident engineers in from the
field included Robert E. Lyle, of
Eielson Air Force Base.
Project engineers included Wil
liam Brown, Nome; Ernest W.
Burke, Unalakleet; Harold D. De
witt, Bethel; Fred Havercamp, In
dian Mountain; Harry Knudson,
Kotzebue; and James F. Mac
Isaac, Unalakleet.
Friends and pupils will be in
terested to learn that Mrs. Andy
Nerland has undregone one opera
tion and is expected to have
another one very soon. Mail to
Mrs. Nerland is to be sent to the
Claremont Hotel.
