From The Ely Times
Friday, June 8, 1893.

The powder magazine of the Hecla
Powder company, near Virginia blew
up Thursday night and 10000 pounds
of powder let go as the result of a
clearing fire that got away from an
adjoining mining property. Although
the magazine was considerable dis
tance from Virginia, the explosion
shattered windows in the city and
several buildings in the course of
construction toppled over from the
force of the blast. The detonation was
heard in neighboring towns, even in
Stony Brook, AZ miles away. In Vir-
ginia the front of the Bank of Vir-
ginia was blown out and w. B. Nit
chell who operates drug store next
to the bank was knocked into insenS-
Utility. It is explained that the force
of the explosion was directed in a
northerly direction. Had it been di-
rected towards the town to the south
east, nothing could have saved it
from annihilation.
