CONTRACTING DRILLMEN
 MAY NcE ENESI


 TREADWELL, May 25. - Charles Olsen. who has a contract with the Treadwell company for driving drift and doing other work in the 700 mine, together with his helper Andrew Jo- hansen. are in the hospital where it is feared that Olsen will lose both eyes and Johanson may lose one of his. The faces of both men are badly burned.
 The men were working at the 1400 foot level of the 700 yesterday after noon and in drilling into missed hole an explosion took place which severely injured both of them about the face and eyes. Olsen seems to have suf- fered the greater part of the shock and 1t is believed to be doubtful If his eyesight can be saved. Johanson will recover with slight injuries aside from the possible loss of one eye, which the physician hopes to save.
 Olsen made the statement that he did not know how 1t happened except that he must have drilled into missed l hole.
