BLASTING AccIDENT.-A Frencbman named
Alphonse Baptist, who was working in tunnel
near Bloomfield, was shockingly injured last
Wednesday morning by the discharge of a blast
The blast had been charged and the fuse light
ed, when the workmen left the tunnel to await
she explosion. After waiting over fifteen min
utes, and the blast not going of, they supposed
the fire had gone out, and Baptist went back
into the tunnel He had just reached the spot,
and was looking at the blast with his face di-
reetly over it, when the powder exploded. His
face was terribly burned and filled with powder
and sand, bis lower jaw broken and shockingly
mutlated, aud deep cash was cut in his left
temple. Mr.. ]. W. Denison, to whom we are
indebted for the above particulars. informs us
that Baptist was alive on Monday morning, and
would probably recover. 1t Is thought, too.
that his eyes are not materially injured.

QUARTz.-Ws learn from Mr.. Paul. superin-
tendent of the Oriental Quartz Mining Co.,
that about three thousand tons Of rock have
been crushed at the companys mill during the
year 1859. We could not learn definitely the
amount Of gold extracted during the year, but
We judge it was not less than 100000. Much
of the rock rushed was taken from the Le-
compton ledge, which pays from SIG to $40 a
ton, and will avc-age about $25. This ledge
was opened in the spring of 1858, has been
steadily worked ever since, and every lot of
rock crushed has paid profit. One of the pro-
prietors Informed us few days ago that the
owners bad realized near 100000, over and
above expenses, from this ledge. The cost of
quarrying. hauling and crushing the rock has
averaged about $l3 a ton.
