KENNECOTT MINE SUED
FOR A LARGE AMOUNT
CAMANO, Wash., Jan. 23.—An
echo of an explosion occurring in the
Bonanza copper mine near Kennecott.
Alaska, in January, 1915, was heard
in superior court yesterday when
Matt MatBon, who was employed m
the mine at the time, died suit for
$76,000 for personal injuries alleged
to have been received. The Kenne
cott copper corporation, owner of
large mining interests, is named as
defendant.
Matson alleges that the mining
company was using frozen and dete
riorated dynamite and defective fuse
and caps in its workings, which rc
suited In a charge missing fire. When
he drilled into it later, not knowing,
that it had failed to explode, the dy
namite was set off, causing him to be
come totally blind.
The plaintiff alleges further that
after the explosion the Kennecott!
Mines Company, which owned the
mines, made a pretended dissolution
while it owned several millions of
dollars of assets and that this dissolu- j
tion was fraudulent and made for the
purpose of escaping the payment of
debts and obli^^pns, including the'
obligation incuffld to himself by rea-'
son of the explosion. The company,
he asserts, fraudulently transferred
all its holdings to the Kennecott
Copper Corporation without any con
sideration. •

have opened our vault and that all of our
books and records and those entrusted to
our safe-keeping were found unharmed and

ters around the corner of the Road Com

Do It Electrically
Electrical helps make housekeeping easier. Few
people realize the number of electrical labor-saving
devices that have found a place in the household.
The Electric Iron has become a household ne
cessity and ninety per cent of the families using elec
tric light also use an electric iron.
Other labor saving devices are the Vacuum
Cleaner that averages less than seven pounds in
weight". Then there is the washing machine for fam
ilies that do their own laundry, Electric Buffing mo
tors for polishing the silverware, and small electric
motors for running churns, ice cream freezers and
for numerous other purposes.

BOSTON HAS A START
FOR BIO FAIR IN 1920
BOSTON, Jan. 2b.—An exposition
in Boston of world’s fair magnitude
is urged by Samuel W. McCaui as
Massachusetts' part in the 1920 Pil
grim Tercentenary celebration.
“I trust that the Commonwealth
•
will celebrate this event in some oth
er than in a provincial way,” he
said. “An opportunity for a great
exposition of educational and artistic
importance, with less of the mechar
ical, is given the state in the com
ing tercentennial of the landing of
the Pilgrims.
“It seems reasonaoiy certain that
the European war will be over long
before that time and then let the
nations vie with each other in the
arts of peace. What better time or
place than then and here to shoa/
their best efforts.
