In his Wallace Street Journal column, David Bond (photo below) pays tribute to Cody Mathewson, 52, who died last week in a mining accident here. Quoth Bond:

"Another miner died in another mining accident in another mine yesterday. Another friend. Got tangled up in the air doors or something, according to another mining company’s press release. Another widow notified. Another former wife just called. Another drinking buddy, and a damned friendly one, gone."
