Explosion in Lumaghi mine injures fifteen near Collinsville
An explosion at Lumaghi No 2 mine east of Collinsville about 11 30 am injured fifteen men from a bursting compressed air receiver at the shaft bottom. The hose and mine machinery powered by the receiver contributed to a widespread blast with burns. George Elvis was the most seriously hurt, later moved to St Marys in East St Louis. Six others were slightly injured. 425 men were in the mine when operations halted. Inspectors Cunningham and Rutledge will inspect to determine the cause, with Lumaghi and chief engineer Wandlass unable to explain it.

Brick Yard Resumes Work Near Vandalia Depot
The Troy Press Brick Co. restarted operations at its plant east of the Vandalia depot after a winter shutdown. The firm reports a supply of dry clay to produce up to a million bricks and hopes for steady work if weather allows. In January thirty carloads were shipped, mainly to Crystal City Missouri for Pittsburg Glass Co. plants. Railroad workers note Troy has shipped more brick this winter than any other town on that line. Previous season’s low output stemmed from a lack of experienced machinists, one machine now runs at 25 000 bricks daily and more workers are sought for a possible record year.
