Arizona Mine Mishaps Cause Death Of Two

Prescott, June 8. - One miner was killed and two others seriously 
injured in two mine accidents occurring 24 hours apart during the past 
week.  The blasts, both occurring in the Gold Crown mine ner Middleton 
south of here, and claimed the life of Ruby Thrash of Prescott, and 
seriously injured J. V. Beardsen of Crown King and William Cordell of 
Phoenix.

Beardsen, working alone in the mine, drilled into a 'missed hole' and 
was injured about the face and eyes in the explosion.  He was rushed 
to Phoenix for medical attention in the hope of saving his eyesight.

The following day, almost at the same time, Thrash, who had been 
employed at the mine only the day before, and Cordell were injured 
when a premature explosion caught them.  Thrash died almost instantly 
and Cordell was rushed to a Phoenix hospital, in danger of losing his 
eyesight.

Transcriber's note: Mr. Thrash is buried at the Citizens Cemetery in 
Prescott, Arizona.
