Phil Dolan Has
Serious Mishap

Phil Dolan had his right arm broken
and his face bruised while working in
stope In the Phoebe mines last Fri
day afternoon. He had ceased work in
order to look at his watch. as a fell
low-workman had just come up to ask
him the time. He sat back to get his
watch when he noticed gravel falling
from the roof in several places. Be-
fore he could get out OF the danger
zone slab of rock about six by twelve
feet in size and six inches thick fell
and almost buried him, striking him
on the head. face and arm. The lamp
In his cap was completely fiattened-
The roof of the stope was almost
level. but 1t broke away In arch-shaped
pieces and they fell in such a manner
that they lodged against one another
all around him. and to this Is attribut-
ed the fact that he was not more seri-
ously injured.
The injured man is now getting
along In fine shape and sat up for the
first time yesterday. He hopes soon to
be out, but his mother says she Is goine
to be his boss for some weeks yet
