miner meets living
DEATH lNGERGROCND
FAIRBANKS, May 15. — Mike
Pasich, a young miner, met death in
a horrible manner last Wednesday
morning at the workings, on Gold hill,
when two slabs of earth, falling in
quick succession from the roof of the
drift where he was working, crushed
out his life. In fact, it can be said
that the man died a living death, for
standing enveloped to his middle in
the falling debris of the first slab, he
could see the second, which eventually
crushed out his life, falling from the
roof of the drift. In the meantime he
called for help, which reached him
just as the second slab fell on him.
Work was started immediately remov
ing the dirt, but when the laborers
reached the body, about 45 minutes
later life was extinct. An examina
tion revealed the fact that the chest
of the man was caved in, while his
neck and one of his le^s were broken

enemy. Amongst the British vessels sunk was the dread
naught Warspite of twenty-seven thousand tons and
carrying a crew of fifteen hundred men. Otheis sunk
were the battleship Marlborough with one thousand
men, and the battle cruisers Queen Mary, Indefatigable
and Invincible, and also the cruisers Defense and Black
Prince as well as many destroyers and submarines.

throughout Wednesday night but the first intimation re
