History of Nevada Thompson & West - 1881

LEMKKONEN, John -----An accident at the North Star mine yesterday afternoon resulted in the death of John Lemkkonen. Mr. Lemkkonen had rung the bell to start the car on which he stood from the 500 level and had evidently leaned over just as the car started, for he was caught between the car and the timbers on the side. He must have met instant death as it was a long time before the body could be extricated.-Miner. Morning Appeal December 12, 1905
