county, and will have the work completed by
tomorrow, and declare the result. No errors
have been discovered sufficient to change the
result as heretofore reported for any Of the Of
fees, though in one case it came very near it.
As heretofore reported, Miller received eight
votes more than Perkins, for the Assembly;
but at San Juan precinct, where Perkins was
reported to have received l95 votes, the official
returns give him 1919, consequently Miller is
elected by only four votes, reducing his report
ed majority one-half In a number of the pre-
cincts, the returns were not made out strictly
in accordance with law, but rs there was no
reason to believe that frauds had been perpe-
trated in any case, the returns were not reject
ed on account of the election officers having
failed to follow the directions of the statute,
which were regarded merely as informalities.
FATAL AccIDENT.-Mr. VIM. NJ. Boiler, a
workman employed at Leach's saw mill, near
the Buena Vista ranch, was fatally injured on
Saturday week. 1t appears that the lumber is
carried out of the mill on a car, which runs on
a descending track. The unfortunate man was
riding out on a car load of lumber, and while
descending the track at rapid rate he threw
off heavy scantling, one end of which caught
in such manner as to swing the other end
along the car, striking him terrible blow on
the side and head. HIS left arm was broken,
his side and back badly bruised, and the back
of his skull fractured. The operation of tre-
panning was performed by Drs. S. G. Tomp-
kins, and r. NJ. Hunt, but the injuries were SO
great that he died last Sunday afternoon.
AsHMoRE's MBLoDEoN, which is fast be-
coming favorite place of amusement FOR the
lovers of fun, was crowded on Saturday evening
last. Miss Howard and Miss Lizzie Smith
made their debut that evening, and were very
favorably received in fact they cannot fail to
please, as they are vocaists Of acknowledged
merit, and last, though not least, lin the opin-
ion Of our local,) are very pretty. With Joe
Taylor and Tom La Font as "end men" Harry
Taylor as "middle man" and the "Old Chief
at the helm, the Melodeon is bound to take.

having been killed by falling into mining shafts.
The body of E. Tenberth, miner at work on
Sebastopol Hill, was found in a shaft forty feet
deep on Monday morning. He fell into it on
the Saturday night previous. On Tuesday
morning man named Philips was found dead
in shaft near Bear river. There was consid-
cradle water in it, and he was probably drown
ed. On Thursday, the body of another man,
whose name we have not learned, was fonnd in
mining shaft near Bergans'.
BRIGG's GIFT ENTERPRIsE.-We direct at
tention to the gift entertainment advertised in
another column. This, we believe, is the most
extensive enterprise Of the kind ever projected
in the State, and according to the certificates of
well known and reliable business men, the
property is not over valued. Tickets can be
procured in Nevada of Jno. Pattison, of the
Pioneer Express, at Blaze's saloon, of A. R.
Jenkins, and Charley Palmer. We learn from
Mr.. Barnes, the agent for Nevada and Grass
Valley, that the tickets are selling rapidly.
Nor BLOWN DowN.-The report that the
Magenta Flume had been blown down, by the
gale of last Thursday and Friday, was incorrect.
We learn, however, that the hume belonging to
the Memphis Race, which runs parallel with
and under the Magenta, was blown down, the
timbers lodging on the cross-ties of the latter
fume, but without injury. We are not ad-
vised as to the amount of loss sustained by the
proprietors Of the Memphis Race.
GETTING WELL.-We are informed that the
Chinaman, who was so badly injured last Fri
day, near Turner's Mil, by tree falling upon
him, is likely to recover. 1t appears that the
tree fell upon his head, breaking open his skull,
and the poor fellow has lost portion of his
brains; but under the skilful treatment of DR..
XII Hi, a celebrated surgeon from Hong Kong,
the injured celestial is doing finely.
SERIOUS Loss.-We learn that Mr.. Joseph
Gardiner, of Little York, was loser to a. large
amount by the heavy gale Of last week. The
fumes connected with his ditch were all de-
stroyed, and the cost ofreplacing them will not
be less than six or eight thousand dollars. Be-
sides this, he will lose the use of the water. in
the ditch for several months.
