but fortunately no one was injured by
the explosion. The powder, which was
thought to be of no account, owing to
the age, had been left on the dump of
the mine in its original boxes. Super
intendent Courtmarsh and one of the
mine employees on the day of the eX-
plosion had gone into one of the tun
nels for lot Of wedges that had been
left in there for the purpose of bring
ing them out and placing them in the
sun to dry. They loaded a car with
wedges and on their return from the
tunnel Courtmarsh picked up what he
supposed was an empty powder box
about half full of sawdust. He carried
it to the dump near to the place where
the supposed useless powder was and
threw the box over the bank distance
of about 10 feet Instantly there was
an explosion, and in an instant the
powder IN the boxes on top of the
dump was seen to blaze. Courtmarsh
started to run. and when he had
reached a distance of about thirty
yards the entire seven hundred and
fifty pounds exploded with fearful
crash. Courtmarsh was knocked to
the ground and cut on the breast with
a piece of flying rock but otherwise
was uninjured. The force of the ex
plosion tore half of the blacksmith
shop away and wrecked the bunk
house, while at the boarding house
the windows and sashes were all
broken as well as over half the
dishes. 1t is fortunate circumstance
that there were none of the men who
are employed at the mine any
where near where the explosion &C.
Cured. otherwise there would have
been fearful loss of life. Citizen.
