                          FELL ONE THOUSAND FEET.
                          
                       Capt. SIMON KINSMAN Killed at  
                            the Champion Mine.
                            
              CAPT. SIMON KINSMAN, of the Champion mine, at
            Champion, one of the best known mining captains
            in the Lake Superior district, was instantly
            killed Wednesday. He and SUPT. WALTER FITCH
            were coming out of the mine in a skip, when
            the latter struck a piece of pipe and over-
            turned. FITCH held on to the skip and escaped,
            but KINSMAN fell to the bottom, a distance of
            1,000 feet.
