BROKEN RIBS DIDN’T STOP
HIS WORK FOR COMPANY
Douglas Ferry of the Yukon Gold Com
pany’s engineering staff, who returned this
week from the Sixtymile, where he was
looking over the situation, was severely in
jured and displayed remarkable grit by
staying in the field at work eleven days
after the accident, says the Dawson News.
Mr. Macfarlane, also of the engineering
staff, and Mr, Ferry went out together. On
the road their rig overturned, and Mr.
Ferry was pinned against a bank for a
time. On getting up he felt somewhat sore,
but decided to proceed. He was on many
claims, climbing up and down many shafts,
and working continuously until he got back.
J It was found on examination on his return
---
that two of the ribs were partially frac
tured. Mr. Ferry is at home, gradually
mending, and will be out before long.

FIRE IN THE CANAL ZONE
CAUSES BIG EXPLOSION
Panama. May o. A brush fire started
on this end of the canal and entirely baf
fled the efforts of the fire fighters to control
it. The lire spread in the undergrowth with
great speed. A government powder maga
zine in which was stored a large quantity
of dynamiate was in the path of the fire,
but all efforts to prevent the flames reach
ing through the grass and undergrowth were
unavailing. The magazine caught fire ant;
an explosion followed in which one woman
bystander and seven fire fighters lost their
lives.
The weather on the Isthmus of Panama
has been unusually dry for an unusually
protracted period, and both the grasses and
the underbrush have been in a condition
perfectly suitable for just such a brush
lire. The officials recognized the danger to
the magazine and had withdrawn the
greater portion of its contents before the
flames came within any appreciable dis
tance of the building. Then, owing to the
extreme danger of any further labor in the
vicinity, the work of further emptying the
magazine of its contents had to be aban
doned.
It was hoped that the .structure, which
was a substantial one of stone and cement,
would resist the heat, but the mass of
sparks, flames and embers soon hade made
a way into the building through the roof,
with disastrous consequences.
