Thursday, June 20th, 1929 SIX MEN.SCALDED BY STEAM AT COPPER CLIFF LAST WEEK Six men are in the Copper Cliff hosâ€" pital as the result of an accident due to a blast of steam caused by bricks from the arch of a reverberatory furâ€" name falling into water on Fniday. The names of the injured men are: L. Saari, O. Rantala, George Fielding, J. Klimba, Paul Haynes and R. Burtâ€" nyk. Haynes,, who is a student from Montreal and Fielding, are reported to have suffered the most severely. According to an official of the Interâ€" national Nickel Company the six men were working on a platform over the reverberatory furnace, engaged in breaking down the roof arches. One of the arches unexpectedly caved in and the bricks fell into some water beneath, causing considerable steam to form, which caught the men above before they were able to get off the platform and escape. All six men were rushed immediately to the company hospital, where their injuries are being treated. It is stated by officials that in most cases the burns are superficial and will soon be healed.

Tuesday afternoon. The tragedy was not discovered until 24 hours later, when his remains were found by a neâ€" phew, scattered over the land for a distance of nearly 300 yards from the scene of the blast. Coroner Dr. H. M. Torrington has decided than an inquest is unnecessary. The remains were inâ€" terred in the Roman Catholic cemeâ€" tery on Thursday and a Requiem High Mass will be sung for the victim in Ste. Anne‘s Church, Sudbury, nexi? Wednesâ€" day. "While the cause of the explosion will never be known as Levesque was working by himself at the time, clearâ€" ing his land, it is believed that he was caught by a premature blast while stooping over a dynamite stick adjustâ€" ing the fuse. The man‘s farm is on the Garson road, a few miles northeast of Sudbury, and the field in particular is not far from the C.N.R. station at Sudâ€" bury Junction, but the explosion, as far as is known, was heard by no one. It was apparent to those who viewed the scene that he had been trying to blow out a large boulder that interferâ€" ed with cultivation of the field. "Archie Henre, a neighbour of the deceased, had been in the habit of callâ€" ing on Levesque every evening. On Tuesday, he came to his house and found it vacated, the door unlocked, and the evening chores demanding atâ€" tention. At the time he thought Leâ€" vesque had been called away suddenly and would return later in the evening. The next morning, passing by the farm, he again called and, finding everything as he had left them the night before, made inquiries from Levesque‘s sister, Mrs. Wilfred Laplante, Louis St., Sudâ€" bury. "Ntither Mrs. Laplante nor Octave Levesque, 244 Draper St., brother of the dead man, had heard of him being called away, so in the afternoon nephew, John Tessier, went out to see if anything were amiss. Shortly after four o‘clock he discovered the tragedy of the previous day. Provincial Police were notified and Provincial Constable Grassick investigated. Dr. H. M. Torâ€" rington, as coroner, viewed the remains, on Wednesday evening. "Bomrnm in Riviere Blanche, Que., son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Xavier Leâ€" vesque, déceased came to Sudbury about 40 years ago with his famâ€" ily. Soon after his arrival he married and worked in Sudbury for nearly 10 years before taking up a homestead in Neelon township. Clearing the land himself, he established a home for his wife and child. His wife died about 28 years ago. The late Mr. Levesque was a member of Ste. Anne‘s Parish, of Sudbury, and is survived by one son, Paul Antoine Levesque, who has been working near Timmins for the past two years; one sister, Mrs. W. Laplante, of Sudbury, and two brothers, Augustine and Octave Levesque, of Sudbury."

As compared with April a gain in output was shown for the Porcupine area, while the Kirkland Lake camp was lower, due to the reducâ€" ed tonnage handled at the Wrightâ€" Hargreaves mill.

The falling off in mint receipts at Ottawa is apâ€" parently due to the unfavourable disâ€" count at which‘the Canadian dollar is rated in the United States.
