Accident In The Key
An accident occurred in the Key at Pinos
Altos Wednesday morning about 8 o’clock,
which may cost two men their lives. Antony
Vertino and Beru Qurorello were drilling a hole
when the drill penerated another drill hole al-
rady loaded with giant. When the steel struck
the giant an explosion occurred which blew
Vertino’s eyes out, tore off his nose and broke
his under jaw. His arms, legs and body were
filled with rock. Qurorello’s left eye was seri-
ously injured and numerous flesh wounds re-
ceived in the legs, arms and body. His wounds
would not be considered serious were it not for
the fact that he already had erysipelas, which
makes his recovery very doubtful. A Mexican
by the name of Jose Madrillo was working in
the same shaft and was badly powder burned.
Dr. Stephens was telephoned for and spent
several hours picking out rocks and patching up
the Italians.
