MINERS KILLED
HI JUNEAU
Miner Drills Into Unexploded
Charge of Dynamite—Knew
Its Whereabouts.
Juneau July 15.—Ja’mes Har
rington, an American 37 years,
was killed outright, Stanley Vur
yer was so seriously injured by
flying rock that it is feared that
he miay lose his sight, Victor
Vanetroin had both legs broken,
Jiin Mislen had his right arm
broken and eight others re
ceived minor injuries from pow
tier smoke anti nying aeons, as
the result of the first accident
in the Sheep Greek tunnel of the
Alaska Gastineau Mining compa
ny at 5:15 this morning, just
twenty minutes before the night
drill crews were ready to knock
off work.
The accident occurred when
Harrington, the drill runner,
failed to start the Burley steel
drill far enough away from a
hide where a charge of powder
regained unoxplodcd from, the
previous shot. The result was
that the drill slipped from the
hard rock, entered the hole con
taining perhaps two sticks of
dynamite, No. I, and the explo
sion resulted.
Harrington was decapitated by
the impact and his mutilated form
was hurled sevityal feet. Fal
ling rock broke Vansl,mini's legs
and the same couse broke Mie
len’s arm. According to the min
ers injured it was perhaps fif
teen, or twenty seconds before
the tunnel cleared of smoke suf
ficient to allow the miners to
realize the dajnage I he accident
had created. The drilling ma
chines were not shaken down, by
the explosion. The drill was
shattered
Twelve men were al the face
of the tunnel when the Occident
occurred. There were three ma
chines at work. The crews were
in charge of Paul Miller, shift
boss. Miller had warned Har
rington he says, of the unexplo
ded powder, and others among
the twelve miners had remarked
of the proximity of the, drill to
the hole containing the nitro
glycerine. Harrington had re
sponded he would drill far
enough away from the hole to
miss the charge.
