After starting the Hecla mill at Gem I early Monday morning, the electric power suddenly failed and Ed Olson, shift boss, went out to locate the trou ble. He discovered a post burning near the electric station, evidently caused by a short circuit. It is pre sumed that he attempted to extinguish the fire and in doing so came in con tact with the main current carrying 60,000 volts. Mr. Olson was widely and favorably known In the district, having been employed In various mills for many years. He had been with the Hecla company for about two years, having been previously emnloy p(J at the Hercules. He is survived by ]lls w(fe SUNSHINE. Shaft Being Sunk From the Main Tunnel Level. The wonderfully rich ore shoot above the main tunnel at the Sunshine Is to be explored at further depth, with every indication that it will be found equally as rich and ns large. The ore above was It feet wide, con sisting of both galena and gray cop per, both having a very high silver content. The shaft is now being sunk and at a depth of 100 feet a crosscut will be run to the vein. If the ore is found to be satisfactory the shaft will be continued another 100 feet and even deeper, hoisting facilities having been provided with that in view. The Sunshine was originally known as the Yankee Boy and has a record of large production of high grade silver ore.
