Gabe Lind Injured
At Mine, Now In A
Critical Condition
Gabe Lind, a miner employed by
Albin Poison in his mine about 2
miles out from Nome, was seriously
injured yesterday in a drift from
the main shaft.
From the reports available it ap
pears he was taking the blocking
out from under, which held up
the roof of the shaft, believing the
ground to be frozen sufficiently to
stay up without blocking.
The roof of the drift collapsed
partially burying him, and injuring
him severely.
It was some little time before he
was discovered. He was taken out
of the mine and brought to the hos
pital where Doctor Rex F Swartz
is administering to him.
His condition at the Maynard
Columbus Hospital today, was ex
pressed as extremely critical.
He is suffering from fractured
ribs, a sprained ankle and a sprain
