TWO MINERS KILLED.
Powder Magazine Exploded In Nam
moth Mine.

Wallace, Idaho, Sept. 29.-At an
early hour in the morning two miners
were instantly killed and two others
were injured by the accidental ex-
plosion of an underground powder
magazine at lower tunnel No. of
the Mammoth mine, between the towns
of Gem and Burke.
The two men killed are Charles
f. Frost and Ed Wing. A miner named
Rekles. working short distance
away, had his arm broken, and his
companion was also severely injured.
The two killed were literally torn to
atoms. The largest piece of either
found was foot, which had been torn
off the leg close to the ankle. All
the remains found of both the miners
only filled three powder boxes.
The magazine was located some dis
lance underground, and enough pow
der is kept there for the days use in
the lower tunnel of the mine-several
boxes in ALL The two miners were
seen to enter the magazine and a few
minutes later the fearful explosion
shook the mine. The exact cause of
the explosion will never be known,
but it is thought the men were en-
gagged in attaching caps to the fuse,
and in crimping one of the caps it
exploded, causing the powder to ex-
plode also.
