TRIED 10 LIGHT DYNAMITE,
THINKING IT WAS CANDLE
By the barest chance, Col. J. H.
Conrad, the wellknown mining man,
and a party of guests including sev
eral of the most prominent men in
the Yukon, escaped being blown into
eternity last week.
While Col. Conrad was showing the
party through the interior of the Big
Thing mine at Caribou the party were
provided with candles. In some way
ono of the men picked up a piece of
dynamite, thinking it was a candle.
When the group reached a dark !
passage way the candles wore light
ed and the man with the dynamite
reached forward to light the fuse
from another man's candle. The ac
tion was unnoticed save by the mine
foreman.
With a cry of horror he sprang for
| ward and seized the dynamite, pre
venting the certain destruction of
the entire party. The close call un
nerved the party and they didn't
breath freely until they had reached
the outer air and were a safe distance
from all danger of explosive candles.
