Accident Came Near Costing
Man An Eve.

Last week splinter of steel from
his drill entered the eye of Arch
Campbell as he was engaged at his
work in the Mary Murphy mine at
Cave Basin. He thought he had sue
ceeded in getting it out, but his eye
continued to cause him so much pain
he came to Durango last evening for
treatment. An X-Ray taken by DR..
Davis revealed the presence of the
steel. This morning the Doctor took
the patient to the light plant where
he drew the steel to the surface with
the magnate and then made an incis-
ion and removed it. The steel had
worked it's way from the upper to
the lower portion of the eye, but DR..
Davis believes regardless of its per,
ilous course he is going to be able to
save the eye.
