The procedure then was first of all to open the valve at the air line slightâ€" ly, then go to the barrel and open « the valve there slightly. The pressure of the air would then force the fuel oil from the barrel to the storage tank six feet above. _ Vincent DeSaverio "came to his death through an explosion eccurring while he was emptying an oil barrel by means of compressed air without the use of a pressure guage," a coroner‘s jury under H. E. Montgomery found last night.. The accident occurred outside the blacksmith shop at the De Santis mine on March 15th. gallon fuel oil barrel to the point at which it burst. The flying caught the man on the head, inflicting a comâ€" pound fracture of the head that caused What DeSaverio neglected to do, acâ€" cording to the theories of all who gave evidence at the inquest, was close th2 valve at the oil barrel before opening the valve at the air line. In this way the full pressure of air (95 to 98 pounds) came into the oil drum, built to stand only 45 pounds pressure, Just as Deâ€" Saverio arrived back at the drum from opening the air line valve, the drum There was no smoke or flame from the explosion that killed DeSaverio.

A hose; with a valve was fitted to the barrel and connected to the air line. A disâ€". charge line was fitted to the barrel and was led to the storage tank inside the exploded. Not Much Noise Leslie Parnell, hoistman at the Deâ€" San’lis, was just going on shift, he told the ‘juuy. He saw DeSaverio. "He wouldn‘t have had any more time than to approach the barrel . . . The noise wouldn‘t amount to much more than if a person kicked an empty barrel . . . There was no smoke or flame, just oil scattered around," he said.

[ Five Pound Sufficient â€"â€"Five pounds of pressure should have been sufficient to raise the oil the six feet into the storage tank, he said. "Do you consider it safe practice?" he was asked by Mincs Inspector E. B. Weir. "It had been the practice since 1926G6. It has been the practice at several other properties. Possibly it still is." Dr. G. S. Mackechnie told the jury what injuries DeSaverio had suffered. The compound fracture of the skull was such that he realiged at once the man could not live. Although intraâ€" venous injections had been given, the wounds closed as well as possibhle and special nurses placed in attendance, DeSaverio had died the morning folâ€" lowing the accident, March 16th. D. Rossi, blacksmith for whom the dead man was helper, said that when DeSaverio had the air setâ€"up ready, he (Rossi) usually went to the drum while DeSaverio went to the storage tank to see when the oil was coming through.

Surely I ought to know what was doing during 1909 because that was the moss enjoyable summer I ever had in my 62 years on earth. It sure was pleasing to hear a hundred differâ€" ent birds singing day and night and to see moose lined all around Porcupine Lake and seven all in one bunch at the same spot and about the same time every evening. Mr. Bannerman knows I ‘had one killed ready for him and Tom and my own party when they returned aiter leaving me alone for 12 days. It was nice to have many a meal of tender young caribou steak from a caribou killed near the foot of Golden avenue. It was no trouble to get fish or partâ€" ridge or big game as the whole area in 1900 he woyld never meet a soul That is far from the fact. Because if Brown or anyone else were to traâ€" vel {he trail from the steel to Porcupine Lake from May 8th to Sept. 15th they surely would have met three Swedes on th» shore of Frederickhouse Lake who were cutting birch logs and living in a tent. They would also most likely meet Mr. C. M. Auer and his men at Night Hawk Lake on the Penninsular. When thsy arrived at Porcupine Lake they would have seen three tents on the scuth shore now called Deadman‘s Point. Thessg itents were occupied by J. S. Wilson, H. A. Prestcn, Geo. Burus ard the Campbell Bros., who‘were broâ€" thers of Jazk L. Campbell, the Chief Fire Ranger of the whole Cochrane arca. J. S. Wilson is a brolherâ€"inâ€"law of thae Chief‘s. Then on the north shore straight opposite the three tents Mr. Brown would have seen two other tents <ccupied by Geo. Bannerman and Tom Geddes. Several times during the sumâ€" mer these two parties ; the only men at Pcrcupine, made trips out to the steel for supplies and Bannerman had a launch part of the way to carry proâ€" visions, etc. So Mr. Brown would surely have met us. Who eise was it but the Wilson and Bannerman parties that dissovered the gold that.started thne rush and the Dome Mine that fetched the T, N. O: Railway to Porsupine? The writer discovered the Dome eariy in June but he was not the boss or else it would have been staked and recorded and the rush would have started more than one hundred days before it did. But Geo. Bannerman and Tom Geddes discovered gold in September and Ceorge got H. A. Preston alone and told him a:out it before leaving to start the rush. Preston told his bass and then the Dome Mine was quickly staked and just in time. George returned and fetched ‘the rush. When the moss was pulled off the Dome, Preston shcuted "By gosh, this is a mine sure! We will see »the «"P:*â€" N: â€"O, ~Ratilway ‘building to ‘here!"‘ | Now let me make another offer. If Mr. Brown or anyone else can prove to me that what I have said is not the whole truth I will present them with $100 cash and five thsusand shares in a mining company being formed at Porcupine. Mr. Brown is correct when ho says there were few people in the Porcupine belt during the summer of 1809. I know that I was left all ajone at camp for 12 days and never saw a Dear Sir:â€"I was interested in Mr. A., C. Brown‘s letter regarding how the Frcderickhouse Lake drained. 1 will say that he is correct in most of what he says. But there are a couple of slight mistakes: One is that Father Faradis was not at his camp on the river during the summer of 1909 alâ€" though his {suildings were there, but he came to them when the rush started. I remember it all. The cther thing Mr Brown mentions is: If one were to traâ€" vel the trail from iPorcupine to the stee] Telling About the Trail â€" of 1909 in the Porcupine Sxtr.h Porsupine, March 30, 1937 To the Editor of Notes About Some of the People who were in This Area Twentyâ€"eight Years Ago.

Smith, mining recorder during 1909, are not alive to>â€"day, because they sure knew who were travelling the trail all sum.â€" mer c¢f 1909 and rezording claims. Yes, it was all silver those days Just think what a few fools, as they were called, at Porcupine looking for gold mines and at the same time thcusands upon thcusands of prospectors rushing to Gowganda ts stake claims. Everyong was for Gowganda, two thousand for silver to every cne who was at Porcuâ€" pine lookinz for gold. Alas, Porcupinz broke the Gowganda rush in half! How they did scramble to get to Porcupine! Wasn‘t the T. N. O. busy! What a great surprise it was to many to see the Dome with its great gold showing, the first real big gold mine discovered by man who two years before was going around Cobalt prediciing big gold mines jus; after he had been with the same party that started Gowganda‘s rush. They went for silver. Preston quit them to return farther north to look for giold. for hundreds of miles contained hunâ€" dreds of thcusands of game birds and animals. While I was alone during the last few days of July and firs, few ofi August I used to paddle clean around Porcupine Lake every day. Rain or _shine, and on fine nignts I would hear the lynx and cther animals roaring fcr miles arcund ime as well as night tirds singing. One night there came a terrilic wind and hail storm. I just thought the world was ending so out of ithe three :cttles of whiskey we had in the camp I sure did take the biggest swig I ever did in my life. Just about cneâ€"cighth the bottle. That soon took the fear cout cf me and I fell off to sleep ard arose next mcorning with a beautiful sun shining and clear sky and no bad after effects from the night bofcre. Now, I just want to tell the public who are fed up with Porcupine stories that it is a very easy mailter to. find out who really were here during May, 1909, and all summer till the rush began, and who were staking claims and recording them at Haileybury. Jus; ask the Deapartment of Mines to look up the books of 1909 and tell how many claims were recorded between May and Oczctober and you‘ll find it was Wilson and Bannerman parties who were doing the recording and when October came you‘ll ‘find out there was a hundred claims recorded to every one that was from May to Oztober. I‘ll pay $100 more it this is not correct. Another way to find out who were the first and second parties to come to Porcupine in the spring cof 1909 is just ask Paddy Jesâ€" Huntingdon Gleaner:â€"Lord Mcn:iaâ€" gue of Beaulieu of England, who sucâ€" ceeded his father to the title when only three, is the ycungest member of nobiliâ€" ty on the invitaticon list to the:coronaâ€" ticon of King George. Chances are Lord Montague, who is now ten years old would enjoy a game Oof ball more that day. H. A. PRESTON.
