NO ONE
WAS KILLED
By Cave'in Saturday in
the Summit Bench
ON Dexter CREEK
Caused by Explosion of Giant
POwder-.MiItOn Luther, Jack
Aiken and E. Dodd Hurt.
on Dexter CREEK

A cavern occurred in the Summit
bench claim, near the head of Dexter
creek, on Saturday afternoon at $3.50
o'clock, as told in a telephone dispatch
from Dexter creek to THE NUGGET.
Fortunately no one was injured ser-
ously, although it was feared at the
time that three men had possibly met
their death.
The cavern was caused by the ex-
plosion of thirty-five sticks of giant
powder, or about ten pounds, in drift
near the bottom of the shaft which is
lO4 feet deep.
Six men were working in the mine at
the time. OF these, three were more
or less injured by the explosion. none,
however, seriously.
The three sufferers are Milton Luther,
Jack Aiken and Ed Dodd. The escape
of these men from death was little short
OF miraculous. The actual cause of
the explosion is unknown. The giant
powder, which was used in blasting,
was in drift near the mouth of the
shaft. What force caused it to explode
has not been determined but it is sug-
gested that falling frozen dirt and
rocks from the roof of the drift may
have been the cause. Luther, who was
the most seriously injured of the three
men, was near the mouth OF the shaft
when the explosion occurred. lad
der stood in the shaft, and this was
knocked into smithereens, and Luther,
himself. was hurled quite distance
and was knocked into state OF almost
compile insensibility. Aiken and DOdd
we're some distance further in the drift
or tunnel, but they. too, had narrow
escape from the flying rocks and debris.
The other men were close up to the
face of the drift and were uninjured in
any way. Luther, DOdd and Aiken
were quickly gotten out, and DR.. Sloan
responded to a telephone call, and rem
dered the necessary medical assistance.
Luther was considerable bruised by
flying gravel and rocks, but he was able
to be about on Monday. The explosion
filled the drifts with dense smoke, and
it was some time before the other men
ascertained the nature OF the accident.
The Summit mine is owned by Hyde,
Savage & Co.
