BURIED UNDER
DEBRIS

Gus Gales yesterday came neal
meeting violent death while en-
gagged at work with force of men
employed in eXcavating near the
roaster plant at Smelter. A tunnel
was being driven at the point where
the accident occurred and during the
shooting of blast Gales ran direct
ly in the path of danger, evidently
misinterpreting the command of the
foreman of the gang. When the shot
went off a large qauntity of heavy
rock and dirt fell upon and almost
completely covered him.
Gales body, with the exception of
his face, was completely covered
when the men ran to his assistance.
From the falling of the heavy bould-
ers on his body he sustained painful
bruises. He was quickly eXtricated
and during the afternoon was sent
TO the Steptoe hospital at Ely City
for treatment. Ii was learned there
that his shoulders and hips received
the most severe injury but that no
bones were broken. A number of
days at the hospital will probably
put him in condition to resume his
work again.

many other interesting features of the

on their tour OF yesterday, members
of the Gould party have decided Ia
remain i'm the district several days
longer than they at first anticipated.

shortly after their return from the
properties where they spent the
day. According 10 Professor kemp's
plans, the party will leave early this
morning for Smclter to inspect the
reduction works, returning to Ely
City this evening.
Professor Kemp stated last even-
ing that there il N great deal more
to see In this district than he or the
other members OF the party had sup
posed and for the benefit of the stu
dents in his charge, he deems il ad-
visable to make more thorough
study of the methods of production
and treatment here. He is very en-
thusiastic over the workings at Cop
per Flat and so impressed was young

Gould and the other young men OF
the party with what they saw there
yesterday that they eagerly agreed
TO the suggestion that they remain
longer in the district than they had
originally planned.
Professor Kemp was particularly
pleased with the operations of the
steam shovels at the Nevada Con-
solidated property. THE great re-
duction in cost of producing ore
which this manner of extraction en-
ables, should net any company a
great profit, even with very low
grade of ore remarked the expert

bly, and the company should he able
TO produce at the lowest possible fig
ure.
The party was taken to the mines
on a special over the ore line early
Yesterday morning. remaining at the
Cumberland Ely until after the noon
hour. The underground workings at
the Cumberland Ely were not visit
ed, the members of the party busy
ing themselves in studying the sur
face features. The balance of the
day was spent at Copper Flat. On
Saturday the Flat will again be visit
ed. Star pointer and Ruth mines
will be gone through and further
visit possibly be paid the Cumber-
land Ely properties.
