IN MINE SHAFT
G. L. Meats Buried Under Mass
of Falling Timbers at
DugWay, Utah.
FRIENDS RECOVER BODY
UNFORTUNATE MAN ENGAGED
IN TAKING SAMPLES.

Through the giving way of timberS in
the shaft. George L. Meats. manager Of
the -Four Metals companys properties at
Dugway, was instantly killed while taking
samples below the S00-foot level about
O'Clock Wednesday morning. 1t was over
twelve hours before the two men in the
mine with him could reach and recover
the body. and ii was Thursday night be-
fore they reached here with the body.
Mr.. Meats went out to the mine early
in the week, accompanied by Charles
Sandal, one of the eastern shareholders,
and o. Meyers, to secure samples of ore
from the 3G0-fOot workings. Sandal and
Meyers went into the mine. which has
been closed down for some time, to help
Meats, going down the shaft on the lad
ders. The mine has been opened for
about 100 feet below the 300-fOOJ level. and
after the samples had been taken on the
latter level, Mr.. Meats told his compan-
ions that he would go down a little deep
eF in the shaft and try to get a few sam
pies out of the ledge there.
1t was known to Meats and his COM
panions that the shaft below the 800 was
not in good repair. as nothing has been
done in it for a long time Sandal and
Meyers cautioned Meats to be careful,
and he replied that he thought the ladder
and timbers would be all right for short
distance. anyway. so he descended. A teW
moments later the Two men heard MIN

of the shaft, and then they heard crash
The timbers had broken loose and Meats
was precipitated to the bottom of the
shaft fully eighty-five feet below where
he was az work. The great mass OF tim

with him and on top of him must have
killed him instantly.
The men hurried ont of the shaft and,
after telling what had happened, they Sc
