KILLED IN A MINE-Chris Loss.
a young man 70 years Of age. and a
son of Peter Loss Of Casa Grande. was
killed in what is known as the House
mine belonging to the Compton Copper
company 30 miles south of Casa
Grande. The young man had been en-
ployed at the mine for some time but
his work had been on top Of the ground
at the mouth of the shaft until the
night Of the accident when he had ex-
places with a Mexican en-
pioyed in the shaft. This shaft was 80
feet in depth and was being sunk with
the assistance Of a gasoline hoist which
a young Mexican was running. When
the two men in the shaft gave the
firing signal they told the Mexican at
the top of the shaft to ask If the Mexi-
can at the engine understood the sig
nal. and he replied in the affirmative.
Jack McKinnon. who was the other
miner in the shaft. then spit the fuses
and both men stepped into the bucket
and the hosting signal was given.
The bucket was a small one and the
two miners had but one foot each i'm
it. When they reached the top, the
engineer stopped about two seconds
and then shot the bucket upward. Nc
Kinnon. by jumping. got out all right.
but Loss depended for second or two
longer on the engineer stopping the en-
CINE again in response to his yells. and
then realizing his danger of being run
up into the sheaves and knowing that
his hold on the rope would be broken
and he would be dashed to the earth
or down the shaft, he let 20 his hold
on the rope and attempted to jump.
but the bucket swung out from under
him and he fell head first down the
shaft.
