Causes of Explosion
At Alaska Coal Mine
Given by Interior Dept.
WASHINGTON, M—Hazardous
blasting and inadequate ventila
tion were blamed Monday by the
Interior Department as the causes
of an explosion Jan. 18 that killed
all five underground employes in
the Evans Jones slope mine in
Jonesville, Alaska.
The report said the explosion
was propagated by methane and
coal dust.
It was noted that an explosion
which caused the death of 14 men
occurred in 1937 in the Van Jones
mine, which overlies the slope
mine.

HOW SLEDGE ISLAND
GOT ITS NAME I
I
Sledge Island was named by j
Robert Cook, after finding an old j
sledge in good condition on the j
island when he explored this area
in 1778.
According to his log:
“At ten o’clock in the morning
of August 5th with the wind at
SW we ran down and anehoraged
between the continent and an is
land four leagues in extent. We
landed here and saw neither
shrub nor tree either upon the j
island or continent. That people
had lately been on the island was
evident from the marks of feet
we found when we landed.
“A sledge which occasions this
name being given the island
seemed to be such a one as the
Russians in Kamchatka used upon 1
the ice and snow. The construe- !
tion was admired and all the parts
neatly put together.”
(Editor’s note:—If you would

Nome and its history by George
Goshaw either write him at

Ex-Gangster
Reading Bible
With Billy Graham
NEW YORK Lf)—Mickey Cohen,
an ex-gangster turned nursery
man, prayed and read the Bible
Monday with Evangelist Billy
Graham.
“I’m sincerely interested in any
thing that’s the correct thing in
life,” said Cohen.
Graham said he believes Cohen
is “sincerely interested in spiritual
things and leading a new life.
The two met in Cohen’s hotel
suite.
Cohen was once a reputed gam
bling czar in Los Angeles.
The pudgy ex-convict was also
a frequent but elusive target for
gang violence. He was shot at 10
times and bombed once.
He spent four years in prison
for evading $3.0,000 in federal in
come taxes.
Cohen tried haberdashery for a
while but now operates a nursery
in California—“Michael’s Green
houses, Inc.”
Cohen was raised in the Jewish
faith, but he said he was “never
a very religious person.”
