Virgil Charles Binder, 38, a miner in the employ of the Homestake Mining company here, lost his life Saturday in an accident in the mine. He was working on top of a pile of loose rock, barring the wall of stope 39, when a large rock came loose. It rolled down the pile and caught him before he could escape. He was instantly killed. The accident occurred just after 12 o'clock noon. He had been employed by the Homestake company since November 8, 1929.
Born in Waterville, Kansas, on February 29, 1904, the deceased grew to young manhood in Ogallah, Kan. He was married on July 2, 1924, in Dunlap, Kan., to Miss Laura Hylton, and after a residence there of five years, the family moved to Lead.

Other survivors are his father, C.T. Binder of Waterville, Kan.; two brothers, David Binder of Kansas City, Kan., and Joseph Binder, of Climax, Colo. and a sister, Mrs. Evelyn Leybo, of Leadville, Colo., and an uncle, Philip McWhirter, of Gillette, Wyoming. Joseph Binder and his wife arrived here this forenoon and the uncle is expected to come to Lead for the funeral.
