SHIFT BOSS AT
ELLAMAR KILLED
Oscar Johnson, shift boss at the
Ellamar mine, was killed while i
working in the shaft of the mine. ; 1
Johnson was alone at the time of t
the accident, and the exact time and v
manner of his death is unknown.
From the incidents surrounding hia a
death, it is surmised that something ;
was not just right in the shaft or (
j that Johnson so believed. The shaft 1 i
| is a three-compartment one, in two j
I of which hoisting cages are operated, t
| and the third is a man shaft with n
| ladders and frequent landing stages, r
j Some time during the night, before \
i midnight, Johnson had evidently f
. taken a wrench and other tools to
j make some repairs at the fuo-to,<tiv
level, un the platform where he j.
was wonting was a piece of limber, ^
which in some way he must have e
shoved aside in such a manner that :
tile end projected over into the cage s
department, and a descending cage f
struck the timber in such a manner
as to bring the other end in violent j,
contact with Johnson s nead, crush
ing uis skuII. dome tune later an p
employe of the mine saw a iiguc on ; e
the piatiorm and went to iuvesti- „
gate. lie louud Johnson lying on v
| the platform, still alive, and gave s
the alarm. The man was brought! g
I to the surface and given medical at- p
; tention, but he d.ed in a short time. r
Johnson was 27 years of age and
! unmarried. H.s only known relative 1 r
| is a brother at Butte, Mont. The i
I deceased was a member of the West- c
i ern Federation of Miners, and the c
interment will be held under the
auspices of that organization.

Under the head "Cordova Knjoy
lg Record Business,” the Seattle
imes of June 2.r> has the iollowing
a say regarding Cordova and south
'estern Alaska:
Business at Cordova is better than
t any other place in southwestern
laska, in the opinion of P. R. Van
ampen, former manager of the
eatson copper mines at Latouche.
[e attributes this prosperous condi
ion to the large amount of copper
re being shipped from that port to
uget sound smelters. With Mrs.
an Campen, lie is registered at the
totel Savoy is Seattle.
Van Campen lived in Alaska five
ears and recently resigned as rnana,
er of the Beatson mine, where 2 7
len are employed, to take as extend
1 vacation. Accompanied by Mrs.
an Campen. who is a noted short
lory writer, he took a long trip
trough the Kendl peninsula and
irrounding country, in search of
laces to hunt and fish.
"This is the latest winter we ever
aa in AiasKa, sain .Mrs. van Camp
n. "There was still snow on the
round in southwestern Alaska when
e left. The first wild flowers we
iw were at Juneau. Contrary to
eneral expectations Seward, the pro
osed terminal of the federal rail
oad, is dull.
"We don’t expect to go hack to the
orth for a year anyway,” said Mrs.
'an Campen. We’re out for a va
ation and will make it a good long
ne.”
Fred Chiller, a Spanish war veter
h, and restaurant keeper of Cordo
a, has communicated with Uover
or Strong with a view to organizing
company of militia at that place.
