Benson: W.E. Dunton was killed by a cave in the Clay Mine 
operated by Farley and Jenson in the Whetstone Mountains 
about eight miles southwest of Benson at 9 o'clock this 
morning.  Bill, as he was familiarly called by his friends, 
has been working for the above firm for a long time and 
was considered a good miner, but accidents of this kind 
happen some times to the best of miners.  It certainly 
was not carelessness on the part of the owners as they 
are known to be good and careful men, as well as 
practical miners.
