And vet, in this case as IN 'ne "SJ''s
.t;..,,rces of the kind, nobody may be
"a ~ spspected as to blame, save and
Zen, the unfortunate man, whose name
Il ,;,Ie of obituary to-day. Henry Ham,
SON schmidt is the name Of a man who
was killed in the Imperial mine this NOR
ming, under circumstances as detailed be-
low, He was a native Of Michigan, OF
German extraction was aged 26 years
was employed as q carman in one Of the
levels OF the Imperial mine, in this town.
He was in the us feet level. He had, a
short time before his death, sent down the
.'cage'' from his level to a station below,
and had gone from the shaft to get a car
load Of pre-. He expected that before his
return, the cage would return to his level,
and be there awaiting his roll-on Of the
car he had taken for ore. But it seem:
the ''cage,'' instead Of stopping at the
level where Schmidt rolled. was lifted
above il, fifteen feet OF more, as we are IN
formed. On this account some blame
may be alleged against others; but we
have not heard any. How the light was,
at the shaft, we could not ascertain, this
morning; but w presume the carmen
have candles and lamps so arranged that
there need be no difficulty in seeing from
a distance whether the cage is set at their
level or not. Schmidt rolled his car into
the shaft, and having hold Of the rear OF
il, he was snapped down with It the ap.
palling depth Of seventy five feet. vi
course, instant death was the result. Dr.
Tucker, County Coroner. held an inquest
on the body, this morning, and a verdict
was returned conformable TO the facts
above Sc, forth. The body was horribly
mangled.
A DIsousrEp ESoLIsHNAN.-The San
Francisco Dramatic Chronicle says that an
Enelishman who came out TO this country
with great expectations of making a for
tune, entered into wild speculations IN
washoe. was aeeced by sharps, and finally
found himself out OF funds. Then he, o.
course, as Is natural with an Enghshman'
considered the whole country q vast SWIM
die. A gigantic blk. To him all was bar
rem. Going into a hotel near Virginia
CITY, he set down in moody silence, gaz-
ing ~vacantly at the bill Of fare which the
waiter handed to him. He had lost his
annette. Cant find anything on the bill
10 suit YOU, sir ," asked the waiter. NO
said the Englishman, surlily. there's moth
ing to eat in this country" Would you
like a nice sage hen - asked the waiter.
What Is a sage hen :" asked John Bull.
Bird, sir" answered the waiter, 1--WE
shoe. them out Of the sage brush" The
Englishman looking the waiter sadly IN
the face, said "a bird! "Ies, sir"
"a sage hen is a bird, Ell: Then It has
90. wings" YES, sir" NO, no.
said the nglishman, shaking his head
sadly ; ~ don't want a sage hen. On
anything with wings that will stay in such
q country"
WHO ARE THEY :-A'couple Of sports,
from the city, went on, gaming yesterday,
and called at a farm house on the Carson
River to get dinner. As they had been
out long-and perhaps not had a square
meal for the pas, month-the Spring
chickens aud new potatoes disappeared at
an astonishing rate, so much so, indeed,
that the farmer-to get even-charged
them a dollar each for their weeks meal,
1--WE would say a low CHARGE but city
gents did not think so, and walked out IN
the yard, taking a piece Of pie along. with
which they gathered the chickens around
them, picking up and making OF with
three, which they took into the city and
declared TO be prairie chickens! The
farmer will have that question settled If
the gentlemen can be found. He is now
looking out for them, and says it will not
be safe for him to put eyes on them again.
