SEVERELY INJURED
By Being Blasted in the Dean Mine
Last Sunday.

Seraphin Pagan, a miner employed
at the Dean mine, met with a severe
and painful accident last Sunday by
being blasted, and which near cost
him his life as we'll as the lives of two
other miners, who were with Pagan
at the time of the accident.
The particulars of the accident, as
near as we are able to learn them, are
as follows:
A round of holes were fred by the
miners at work in the shaft Saturday
afternoon just before quitting time.
The miners on going to work Sunday
morning found that all but one of the
holes was fired and Pagan began to
tamper with the misfired hole and WAS
Immediately warned not to touch it.
He did not heed his companions warn
ing and went to work cleaning out the
hole and had extracted as he thought
all Of the powder from the hole af-
ter which re inserted a drill and be-
gan drilling when at once the explo.
sion occurred. 1t was a miraculous
escape that he as well rs the other
two miners were not blown to pieces.
He was brought to the surface as
soon as possible and brought to town
for medical attention Sunday evening.
Upon examination it was found
that he received a frightful wound
over the left eye, his left hand was
badly lacerated, DR.. Sprague, the at
tending physician, having to ampu-
tate the little finger. He also received
a bad cut on the face and several Sc
we're bruises on the legs. 1t WAS at
first thought he would loose the sight
OF his left eye, but the physician be-
lieves the eye to be uninjured.
He is resting very easy and doing
as well ms can be expected.
The injured man is a brother oil
Marius Pagan, of the firm of Mendiye
& Pagan.
The other two miners who were IN
the shaft at the time of the explosion,
were not injured.

As TO Some Warnings.

Bradstreet's seconds Mr.. Guggen-
helm in warning people against in
discriminate investments in mining
stocks. 1t closes its article, which is
a cautious one, in these words:
"There are good mining stocks, but
the main point is hat the public
should develop a fine sense of discrim-
ination in purchasing only the stable
and meritorious ones in mining
shares"
This is good advice. If applied to
all the acts of mems lives, what a fine
old conservative world this would be.
Suppose that had been the rule
when Mohawk was 40 cents a year
ago; would it ever have reached SIS a
share?
Do not men sometimes buy ar
goes to arrive?
What can men invest in to insure
them great profits?
Is there not an element OF uncer-
tainty in every investment, except III
interest bearing securities.
OF course men should use all the
prudence possible in buying anything
on speculation, but mining is no
longer a blind experiment. 1t is
growing to be about as exact a science
as any other. Where the formation
is all right and the ore assays well on
the surface, the chances are that 1t
will make IA mine when developed are
more certain than to buy in April
Jersey peaches for delivery in July.
