The death on May 26, 1947. of Eartley Blank:-nslip, 51. in an automobile accident in Kitsop County. Washington was giver. considerable space in many news- papers because he was the 5th member of the well-known family to lose his life in a highway crash.

Hero's the amazing record: in 1923 Herbert Biankensllp. brother or Bartlny. was struck and killed by an 'auto near Tacoma, Wash. Cm Nov.Y, 1985, I second brother Sheriff D. L. Biankcnslip, was kiilcd in II. highway accident list

In 1940 Herbert's brother was killed near his home. and Rush was killed one year later when struck by a speeding automobile.

A man about to go to the elec- tric chair at Richmond. Va.. got it rnprieve from tho skies. Two days before the sentence could be cw- lied nut. lightning struck the electric chair and put it out of commission for several days, leav- ing the prisoner to await another date with death.

one of the rare instances whrn lightning saved it life instead of taking it occurred at York Pt. Prince Edward Island. 30 yoars ago, One of the herd of 13 rattli- owned by David Whitn was knock- Ni down hy a bolt. The trwclvn un- harmed animals started to stain- pede when another bolt struck

In the summer of 1952 a couple of boys swimming in Lake St. Olalr discovered the fluke of a huge anchor protruding from the lake bed 300 yards from shore in nine feet of water. (The anchor is now in a Detroit miisuml and poses It number of mysteries. namely. it is much bigger than any anchor used on the Great Lakes l00 years ago. The wooden stock was ll feet lcng. made of oak timbers riveted around the metal shank. If weighed l,400 pounds and its plant fluke measure 62 inches from point to point. It had the figure 12.7 dhlaeied in it.

This type of anchor was used by Oolumlbus and other early ma- rlners.

No anchor of this type was made after i880. Where did it come from? And who can ex- plain the Great Lake anchor mys- tery?

x . TO provide fresh, clean air and good working conditions for the miners. lnco engineers devised an unusual air conditioning system for the "Caving" project of the Creighton mine. They drove a special

ventilating shaft from down in the mine up to the surface. At the top of this shaft is a 20-inn fan standing 42 feet high.

This fan sucks out the stale dust-laden air and causes clean, fresh air to flow down into the mine at the rim: of 300,000 cubic feet per minute.

The fan's twelve nickel bearing stainless steel blades can be adjusted in pitch to increase the flow of air as the mining operation is expanded in the future.
