AT
THE VIRGINIA.

An explosion, due to a missed hole,
occurred at the Virginia mine at
9:3O Monday, resulting in the
serious and perhaps fatal injury Of
John Reiss and James Weedman.
The men were not found until noon.

badly bruised about chest and head,
and 1t Is also thought he sustained
internal injuries. His condition IL
the more serious Of the two. A tele.
phone message to The Miner from
Greenhorn stated that he had been
bleeding badly, though at the time
Of the message the flow had ceased,
but bis recovery was doubted.
Weedmau had his right leg broken
aud received number Of bad cuts
and bruises, but his wounds are not
necessarily regarded as fLtal.
As soon as discovered both men
were taken to Greenhorn as quickly
as possible, arriving there about
o'clock this afternoon, and tele-
phone message was sent, summoning
the attendance Of Drs. Pearce aud
Anderson. The former could not
leave, and DR.. Anderson made hast Q
to depart. The message stated that
Reiss was still bleeding badly, and It
was feared that death would result In
q short time, II something could not
be done at once to stop the flow Of
blood. DR.. Anderson telephoned In.
structions relative to stopping the
blood before bis arrival, which It
seems were effective, az the later
message to The Miner would indi.
cate. Further details regarding the
accident are mesger. Reiss died al
