OVERCOME BY FUMES.
Deplorable Casualty Occurs at the
Golden Gate Mill at Mercur.

Deplorable Casualty Occurs at the
Golden Gate Mill at Mercur.
A deplorable casualty occurred at
the Golden Gate mill at Mercur Tues
day evening Of this week, the result
being that one unfortunate has passed
on to the great beyond while two
others narrowly escaped death.
The three men in question, Lee
Gibson, John Meinhardt and w. E.
Ward were at work in the refining de-
partment Of the mill when one Of them
put some zinc dust into a tank con-
tanning arsenical ores, thereby general
ing what is termed hydrocyanic gas, a
deadly poison. Soon after, having in
hailed the poisonous fumes, the men
were overcome and had to be helped
out into the open air. Two of the
men, Gibson and Meinhardt, soon re-
covered, but, despite the fact that the
company's physicians did everything
possible to restore the third victim,
Ward died yesterday morning.
The remains of the deceased will be
conveyed to the city today, and the
funeral will take place tomorrow
The fumes and gases arising from a
certain combination OF chemicals and
the arsenical ores of the Golden Gate
are almost sure death if inhaled. and
while making experiments from which
the present system of ore reduction at
the mill is the growth, Metallurgist
Jacklin narrowly escaped death on
several occasions, and this knowledge
led to extreme caution in milling opera
tons, the men being warned as to the
danger and cautioned as to results
arising from certain conditions, so that
they were familiar with the methods
of reduction and knew what the con-
sequences would be. if the deadly fumes
were generated.
The management is deeply grieved
over the occurrence and has done ev-
erything in its power to alleviate the
distress of the injured, and will give
the deceased proper burial.
