Ed PR|CHARD, MINER,
IS KILLED IN TUNNEL
WHILE WORKING ALONE, CRUSH
ED BY BIG ROCK WHICH
FELL UPON HIM.

Caught by a falling slab Of rock, a
short time after his partner had left
him working alone in the tunnel of the
Bryan mine near Saltese, Ed Prichard
aged 50, one Of the best known miners
in the district, was fatally crushed
| last Thursday evening. His remains
were brought to Wallace and the
funeral held under the auspices of the
Miners Union Tuesday. No relatives
Of the unfortunate man could be To-
Gated. He had been a resident of the
Occur d'Alenes for about 20 years and
was a capable miner. well liked by all
who knew him. He had worked in
nearly every mine of any size in the
district and for many years was en-
ploycd in the various properties in the
Burke canyon. The manner of his
death is given in the following, taken
from the Missoulian of last Saturday:
Coroner Marsh returned yesterday
afternoon from Saltese, where he went
to investigate the death of Edward
Prichard. the story of whose untimely
end was given in the Missouian yes
terday morning. Mr. Prichard had
been living in the Saltese district by
spells for - or IA years. but for more
than three wears he had resided there
continuously. He was formerly from
Wallace and his remains were taken
there yesterday for burial by f. X. Day
one Of the stockholders Of the Bryan
mine, in which Prichard was also in
terested who came after the body.
An account of the accident given by
the coroner was that PriClard and
Tom Mccarthy were working in
raise Of the Bryan mine tunnel 1900
feet from its mouth. Prichard was
lowing him tmbcring the mine. At
o'clock Thursday afternoon the two
men made a joint examination Of the
last part of the work and decided
that It should be timbcred the follow
ing day, although It was apparently
safe at that time Mccarthy then left
the mine. but when Prichard failed t.
show mp at dinner time. at 6 o'clock
hc Immediately returned to the tIinne'
TO make an Investigation. When part
way back he called. and the answer
was. MY God, come and get me out
Pm fast" Mccarthy hurried TO the
rescue and found the unfortunate man
pinned down under a chunk Of ore
which had broken from the wall an6
which it was estimated weighed about
three tons. The corner of the rock had
caught Prichard across the chest. A
part of this was quickly broken off and
gave him some relief. The other Sec
tion proved more stubborn and al
though help came it was some time
before it could be moved. AS soon as
the weight was taken off his chest
Prichard died without being able to
speak Word was brought to Saltese
and q party of men went at once to
the mine after the body returning
with ii to the mining camp at o'clock
yesterday morning.

The platform appears to be already

the candidates will elect to stand up
on. Briefly It is the question that has
entered largely into city campaigns in
Wallace in the past--that of paving the
streets. And as in the past, sentiment

are not satisfied with the condition of
the streets at certain times Of the

they would be bottered by paving with
brick, bithulithic or some other sub
stance in common use. On the other
hand paving will be opposed by some
property owners who hold that in the
greater part of the year 1t Is entirely
unnecessary and that Wallace streets
are in better condition than the streets
of many paved cities; they further
contend that for the remainder of the
year. conditions are such that paving
would not be of much benefit.
Whether there will be other issues
prominent enough to entitle them to a

at this time. The personnel of the
