Powder Explosion Kills Two Men

Ishpeming, Mich., Nov. 20. - The premature explosion of a box of giant powder in the Lake Superior Hematite mine Wednesday morning caused the death of Nels and Matt Makki, Finnish miners, working in the sublevel below where the powder was being warmed. The explosion caused the timbers to fall, shutting off the workmen’s avenue of escape. Tony Walala, a timberman, was overcome with smoke, but he will recover.
