DEAR SIR:-In your issue Of August Ist is
a card from one John Crosby, making state
ments in which he is mis- akrn.
He says he took CHI uge nt the mine in Sep
TENDER last d sin that time no man has
lost single days work through accident. I'M
til the accident that hefel J. II. Masters, and
it was purely accidental occurrence, which
all who work in mines a.e liable to at any
moment.
will only state what John Master, t,ld me,
himself, as was on intimate TENS with hun.
Mr.. Crosby is RICH in saying that NJ man has
lost single days WORK through accident, but
have lost as much as two weeks work on
stretch, on account of lack Of work; besides,
young Masters was the only mln who worked
in the mine, exc ut Crosby himself The &C
cident which bef:l John was purely accidental
though the mine has Caved several times. once
about feet from where Kinney was sitting.
AS 10 his signing the note, which he had
him do, if he did it knowing what he was
signing my friendship with him has ceased.
Yours truly, TT. VAN DER HovEN.
