jumped out of the Luckymobile.

Causes Mans Death
In Southwest Mine

BISBEE-Caught beneath sever
al tons of dirt when the mating
in a stope gave way on the 500
foot level of the Southwest mine
Joseph Ben Jean, A., met almost
instantaneous death, making the
first fatality in Copper Queen work
ings since November, 1922. Dee
Crawford, a brother-in-law, who
was working in the other end of
the stope. heard the cracking of
timbers in time to escape, and as
sisted in the frantic efforts of fell
low workers to dig Jean out of the
tons of debris that had fallen on
him. 1t was more than two hours
before the body was recovered.
Jean apparently had been warn
ed of the danger and attempted to
escape but falling timber had
pinned his right leg to the ground,
breaking the thigh bone almost in
two pieces. One step more, the
position of the body indicated, and
Jean would have escaped the ava
lanche of dirt.
Jean had been employed by the
Copper Queen Mining company for
the past five years. He is surviv-
ed by the widow and three daugh-
ters who live on a ranch near Ben
son.
