SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Two Mem Seriously Injured by the
Premature Explosion of Blast.

Last Monday about noon, Thos. j.
Mcmahon and Chas. Odell while working
in the old Silver Peak mine, east of town,
were both seriously injured by the prem.
allure discharge of heavy blast of giant
powder.
The shaft is about 500 feet deep, and
Mcmahon, who now owns the claim, has
been engaged for several weeks in reop.
ening it. At about $50 feet from the
surface a jam of timbers and loose dirt
was found and in attempting to blow
this out the accident occurred. Two
heavy charges of powder were exploded
in the lmass of dirt previous to Monday,
at which time it was determined to try
charge of 10 sticks of giant powder.
A piece of old gas-pipe, one and half
inches in diameter, was driven down
about 10 feet into the loose dirt. Into
this the powder was being put and
tamped with long iron bar. Half way
down the pipe was slight bend which
rendered the work of tamping difficult.
About 10 sticks of the charge had been
tamped down when an explosion took
place. Both men were hurled violently
against the walls of the shaft, and fell
bleeding and bruised, though neither
lost consciousness. After a time Odell
realizing that unless assistance was oh.
tanned, both might die, determined to
climb out. In this he succeeded and on
reaching the surface, unable to see at
all, he CROPPED his way down the hill to
the old railroad bed along which he
crawled, shouting for help. Before be.
ing noticed he was nearly at the Reduc.
tion Works. Assistance went out at
once and after much effort Mcmahon
was brought out of the shaft on the
back of Chas. Price. McMahon present.
ed horrible spectacle, his head, face
and neck were covered with blood and
smoke blackened. A gaping wound was
in his neck and his arms and body were
lacerated and bruised and filled with
gravel He was removed at once to his
home and, though suffering severely,
is getting along fairly well. 1t is
thought his eyes are not entirely de.
stroyed.
Odell, Though badly cut and bruised
was less severely injured, and may be
out again in a few weeks. His ewes are
thought to be all right.
Tho explosion failed to dislodge the
liam" in the shaft; had it done so both
men would certainly have been instantly
killed.
