 Mrs. James Loy. mother of Mrs. Jacquimin, had gone to Phoenix from Prescott a week or so ago to help care for the afflicted son-in-law, and was present at the bedside when his life passed out. Mrs. Jacquimin's s many friends in Prescott and this vicinity are deeply grieved at the news of her loss, and the Journal Miner, which was once efficiently served by Miss Loy in capacity oi cashier, joins the acquaintances 1T extending sincere sympathy to the bcreaved family.

AT GRAND
 ISLAND KILLS Z AND INJURIES Z
MISSED SHOTS IN COPPER MINE AT JEROME CAUSES DEATH OF MINERS AND FEARFUL INJURY TO COMPANIONS.

JEROME, Nov. 20-Two men were killed and two more were ser iously injured early Sunday morning by missed shot in the shaft at the Grand Island mine. The dead are J W. Lleweliyn, married, and Joe Sa- vonne, single. Frank Derby and Frank Barr, both single men, are the injured They will recover. The shot, one of a round of 3f touched off at o'clock, exploded ai 7:30 while the shaft was being muck ed out. Whether the fuse held fire that long or one of the miners struck the dynamite with his shovel will probably never be known. As the very highest grade of fuse is used al the Grand Island, the latter theory is the most tenable.
 Llewellyn, Savonnc, Derby and Barr went on shift at II o'clock Sat urday night. They finished and load ed a round of holes started by the previous shift and blasted at ? o'clock Llewellyn. as jigger boss. counted the explosions. The round was sev- eral explosions short but this is noth- ing unusual in large rounds: often two holes go off together and sound as one.
 It was 7:3O when M. E. Griffin, the top man, heard an explosion in the bottom of the shaft, which is approxi' matelv $50 feet deep.
 Engineer Rankin lowered Griffin and another miner to the bottom They found Llewellyn and Savonne dead in one end of the shaft. In the other end, some ten or twelve feet away, were Barr and Derby, badly hurt but conscious. An empty buc- ket standing between them and the end where the explosion occurred un- doubtedly saved their lives.
 Barr and Derby were hoisted tc the top and started to Jerome
 Derby has a fractured skull It was necessary for pr. A. (. Carlson, who attended him at the hospital, to re- move a piece of the skull about the size of half dollar. just back of the left ear. As Derby has splendid physique he is practically certain tc recover. Barr was merely cut and bruised and will soon be about.
 Both the dead men seem to have re- ceived the full force of the explosion in their backs. Llewellyn's right arm and left leg were broken and he was terribly lacerated about the back Most of Savonne's injuries were in hi. back but hole was blown in hi; head.
