CULPABLE CARELESSNESS IN
MINES.

There have so many accidents occurred in
our mines lately that it shows gross careless
ness to rest somewhere. The almost con-
slant danger OF accident in such places makes
it imperatiyely necessary that those working
there should be very careful. This applies
to men working in the mines below ground,
but it is most applicable to those who work
above. A whim driver or a brakeman can
not be too careful when they are handling
buckets or timbers over shaft or incline in
which men are at work. When miners are
sinking shaft, the man who works above
them holds their lives in his keeping, and il
they suffer an injury from his carelessness,
he alone is responsible. The law on this
subject is clear. If a person, by his gross
carelessness, causes the death of another, he
is guilty of the crime of manslaughter. If
an example were to be made of some man
who, by his carelessness, causes fatal acct
dent in ! mine, there would afterwards, we
apprehend, be fewer casualties of that kind to
record. A case Of this character occurred
only few days ago in the Pride Of Americas
claim, of which We gave brief account at
the time. The man who was so frightfully
injured there died last Saturday night, after
having suffered the most excruciating pains
from the time of the injury. The Coroner's
Jury which sat on his death, yesterday, gave
verdict, "that his death was caused by the
carelessness of William Hess, the whim
driver of the Pride of America Company, in
letting fall a bucket from the top of the shaft
of said claim, distance Of l20 feet or there
abouts, upon deceased"
If person who had been the cause Of such
an accident as this, was possessed of the least
principle of honor, he would have constantly
attended the injured man, and made the last
few hours of his life as comfortable as posi-
BILE. If a person with the least spark Of
human feeling in his bosom, had been placed
IN such an unhappy position, the utmost
care and assistance which he could have
given would not have made him feel as though
his hands were yet washed clear of the guilt
Of carelessness, and he would have shed tears
of unfeigned sorrow over his victims un-
timely fate. Yet, we are told that this Will
liam Hess-this unfeeling brute-this cold
blooded wretch-never once offered to give
assistance in any way, or in the least en-
deavored to mitigate the sufferings he had
caused. Aye, worse; he did not even deign
to show regret, nor even small tribute Of
respect BY following the mangled remains to
their last resting place. Let miners learn
from this fearful lesson to practice caution;
but should an unforeseen accident uufortu-
nately happen, let not the history of this dis
trict be again disgraced by such another case
of criminal neglect as this.
