SWIFT AUTO LEAPS
OPEN SHAFT MOUTH
ONLY SPEED OF CAR SAVES
LIVES OF COUPLE
Mine Owner Drives Mschlne on Un-
quarded Hole in Dark and Is
Saved Only by Freak
of Fate

SAN BERNARDINO, July 10.-The
speed of their automobile as it plunged
into the shaft of an abandoned mine is
all that saved DR.. George Mcdonald
and wife of Los Angeles from an in
stant death while making a trip 10
their Rose canyon properties.
While running at a high speed near
the junction of the Rose canyon road
and Blacks trail, a prospectors short
cut into the Skidoo region, the lights
of the big machine suddenly revealed
a gaping hole in the ground.
Before DIR. Mcdonald could even
slacken speed the onrushing automobile
plunged into the open shaft. The car
was travelling at a speed sufficient to
cause 1t to fairly leap the hole. on
the other side of the shaft the car col
lided with a windlass and started to
slide back into the hole, but was
caught by a projecting plank and held
poised in midair.
After hours of strenuous work build
ing and bracing a plank flooring, they
backed their machine, under its own
power, once more to the road.
DR.. Mcdonald passed through San
Bernardino late last night on his re-
turn trip to Los Angeles and told of
his narrow escape from death. He is
bitter in his denunciation of the prac-
tice of miners who abandon shafts
without placing some sort of an OBJ
struction to warn automobile parties.
