“DYNAMITE'S QUEER
WAYS"
Summary: A load of explosive powder was
being hauled by Cook & Flemming’s wagon from the storeroom
and bound for Pioneer, Nevada. E.W. Atkins was driving the team. Near
the railroad depot, the animals became frightened and got away.
Atkins was dumped out and the outfit continued up the road toward
Beatty. There were some two tons of powder in the load and it was
scattered over the road for over a mile. Boxes were broken and the
dynamite was subjected to violent bumping. The team ran itself out
without seriously damaging the wagon or harness. There was a loss
entailed by the amount of powder that could not be found. Atkins was
unhurt. Goldfield Tribune.

“The recently
started camp of Pioneer was almost wiped from the map on the 7th, by
fire which destroyed from $50,000 to $75,000 worth of property. Its
origin was one familiar with desert mining camps. The gasoline
stove.”
