ANOTHER ACCIDENT FROM CARELESS
Ngss.-On Monday evening, between six
and seven o'clock, a miner named Isaac
Griffith, came near losing his life at the
Segregated Belcher mine, from the care
lessness Of the brakeman and engineer.
1t seems that the regular engineer was
taken from the engine which Is being used'
ard nut az work on a new engine which
the COMPANY is putting up, and a miner
was given in charge of the engine to do
the hosting. Under these arrangements
Mr.. Griffith was being hoisted from the
mine, and when near the surface the en-
CINE was not Stacked up as usual, nor did
the brakeman attend to his duty and stop
the bucket at the surface, but it was run
up into the shieve in the hosting frame.
Mr.. Griffith, Of course, was thrown off.
He tried TO spring so as TO clear the shaft,
but was not entirely successful. He,
however. was fortunate enough TO strike
on the partition in the shaft, and thus
save his life. II was a hairbreadth escape.
Had he fallen a few inches either right or
left, he would have lost his balance and
been precipitated down the shaft. As it
was. he suffered severe injury. His wrist
vas broken, and his body severely bruised,
and he will be disabled for several months.
Il is one of the most singular escapes that
has ever happened about u mines. It
il also an accident which occurred through
carelessness alone-a class Of accidents
which are becoming much too frequent
about our mines and mining works. There
were two men working in the bottom OF
the shaft, at a depth Of over 500 feet.
Grifith's hat fell and struck between them.
Had he not thus almost ~miraculously
been saved, the accident would have re-
shifted in the death of all three.
ARRIvED.--Two companies of the 9th
Infantry, commanded by Lieut.. Walker,
arrived at Fort Churchill yesterday. Com
