Show Meet Death in Gunnison Tunnel. Montrose, Colo. Three men were suffocated by powder smoke and nitro fumes in the Gunnison tunnel on Sunday Sun-day and thirty others barely escaped with their lives. Air currents of the tunnel were reversed by the concussion concus-sion of heavy blasts, and the smoke and gases were blown back upon the miners before they could reach the portal. The Gunnison tunnel is the government reclamation project opened open-ed last year by President Taft on his western trip. |
