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.
