In the early part of 1880 Frank Mar low was blown up and badly injured in an explosion in the old Cincinnati mine, a few miles east of Mineral Park. He and his working partner, a man named Atkins, were in the shaft and Marlow was loading a hole with judson powder, (one of the early day nitro powders) and in attempting to break stick of the powder with a gad it exploded and blew his face and body full of rock. At first it was thought that both of his eyes were de- stroyed, but after months of suffering and pain one eye was saved, but the sight of the other one was gone. A month ago the sightless eye became inflamed and painful and he went from Prescott to Phenix and had it re- moved. An examination disclosed a piece of bone embedded in the eye, which must have been driven there by the exploding powder twenty-seven years ago. He has fully recovered from the operation.
