pjcked it up with the intention of
throwing It farther away, and ju»t
an he picked it up the explosion
occurred. Hi* right hand witi
blown entirely off and hl« right

The accident wan witnenned by
tunnel, showing that the ledge is
increasing in size with depth.
Mr. Reese, the president and
manager of the Mayfleld company,
is now in Chicago and has writ
ten that he would start west on
February 1. He writes that the
tram will be forwarded about
February 15 and the other ship
ment, including mill, compressor,
drills, etc., are now being assem
bled at Seattle and would be ship
ped in February or early in March.
The shipment will be a very large
one and will amount to over 200
tons and wil lbe delivered on the
property via the Columbia bay
route.
Among the Valdez people inter
ested in the Mayfleld company are
M. M. Reese, J. W. McMillen, F.
C. Weber, Tod Date and Jack Mil
ler, of Miller gulch famo.
W. (1. Hancock, who lives nearby,
and who went lo Fielder's assist
ance. Seeing thai the injured
man was in a critical condition,
Hancock signaled to a launch out
on the lmy, containing a parly
from Kllamar. The launch came
lo Ihe shore and fortunately
among the party was Mrs. Young,
a trained nurse, who rendered
first aid, binding up the wounds
to .<top the flow of blood, and gel
ling Ihe man in condition to trav
el.
Fielder was taken to Kllamar on
Ihe launch, where T. P. Stamey,
with the launch Brighton, was
tied up. The injured man was at
once transferred to the Brighton
and started for Yaldez. A Ierrifle
sea was running, accompanied by
a heavy gale, and but for the nec
essity of getting Fielder to where
he could obtain medical treatment
Mr. Slamey would have turned
back. For eleven hours the launch
fought its way through Ihe storm
before it reached Ihe calm waters
of Ihe bay.
During the voyage Fielder suf
ferer! so intensely from his injur
ies that it was necessary to keep
him under Ihe influence of mor
phine, a quantity of which and a
hypodermic syringe for adminis
tering having been supplied by
Mrs. Young before leaving F.lla
niar.
Arriving here Fielder was at
once taken to Ihe hospital, where
his wounds were dressed and he
is now resting as comfortable as
can be expected. Aside from Ihe
loss of his hand it is feared that
his limb may be crippled perma
nently, although at Ibis time the
wounds are in such condition that
it is impossible lo tell positively
what the result will bo.
