Donica, Henry, burns received about a week ago while working at a gold mine near Globe Arizona, proved fatal to Henry Donica, 37 years old, of Commerce Oklahoma, Sunday afternoon. Mr. Donica had lived in this district most of his life. He was a mechanic and gas engineer in the hard rock lead and zinc mining field. Three weeks ago he left Commerce to accept a position with an Arizona gold mining company. It was first believed that he would recover from the burns, and relatives had received word that he probably would be confined to the hospital for about three weeks. Mr. Donica is survived by his wife; two brothers, Claude Donica, 107 K street northwest, Miami, and Everett Donica of Malvern Arkansas, and his father, James Donica of Picher Oklahoma.
