Ioc;ty as if they had been a bolt from
Heaven. \ truck was on this platform
and the whole went down together to the
DEPTHS below. The skull Of the man was
completely crushed, and he was mangled
in a most awful manner. He had been
cautioned about exposing himself to these
accidents, but being an old miner, he was
needless Of advice given him. In visiting
the mines in this region, we have often
had our attention drawn to the careless
hammer, Of the men employed about
shafts. These accidents, so frequently
chronicled. should be warnings to all con-
eerned. :
ECLIPSE MrLL.-We stepped into this
mill las, evening on our way to Virginia,
to see what progress had been made in
the improvements being introduced into
this old familiar mill. to all our citizens.
We found the foundations for the batter
les, and much Of the framework for the
same had been completed. A much more
solid foundation was secured than was
Anticipated from the nature Of the ground.
The engine, too, Of this mill Is to be
changed from its former position, to one
lower and more convenient for the engin-
GERS. 4 deep excavation had been made
for this, in which a solid structure will be
built to make its workings perfect.
No ExcusE.-There is no excuse what
ever for men to so about the streets, or to
church. or to parties, with seedy, shabby
clothes ON Baum s Brother, next door
to the News office. have for sale a most
elegant stock of all kinds Of clothes, hats,
caps, boots, shoes, etc., which they are
selling as cheap as they can be bought in
San Francisco. Their gentlemanly clerks,
too, are polite and accommodating, and
rather take pleasure in showing their
goods TO customers. Just drop in and
zee them.
BONNER SHArr.-This shaft, belonging TO
the Gould and Curry mine, has been pumped
sufficiently dry to justify work being SOM
meneed q, the fourth station, where this COM
pany have 4 fine body Of pay ore. The sue
cess Of the Crown Point and Yellow Jacket
mines, Of this place, and OF several Of the
mines in Virginia, does not look much like
