OCR Text	Show Three Miners Killed by Explosion of Gasoline Engine. Goldfleld, Nev. Three miners lost their lives on Sunday while working on a prospect north of Goldfield as a result of the explosion of a gasoline engine. Two of the men were working work-ing in a tunnel on the forty-five-foot level when their engine suddenly exploded, ex-ploded, killing Edward Hopf and Roy Barr almost instantly. A. J. Elton, who was at the top of the shaft when the accident occurred, immediately ran down the ladder to help his companions, com-panions, but was overcome by the gasoline fumes and died before assistance as-sistance arrived.
