the parties TO which they respectively

Of said delegates, they emphsticslly assert,

they talk, poor fellows, of themselves, their
wondrous influence, while their auditors
are laughing In their sleeves at the preten-
sions, s~elishness and eonceit of these po-
litical sore heads. These afflicted gentle
men seem to forget hat there is any such
thing as principle among the great masses
of the voting population. among whom no
such troublesome matter as political am
bltlon or aspirations ever disturbs their
slumbers. They vote their principles, and
care little about the selfish pretensions OF
any man. The very fact of disappointed
men talking Of disIuptIng the the parties
with which they have heretofore identified

ANOTHER FATAL MINING ACCIDENT
About 5 o'clock p. N. yesterday, William
+. Billiard. a miner WORKING in the Chol-
lsr.Potosi mine. came to his death under
81, F,ll,,.;n, ,;,.,,,.y,as JJa ,oua,har
with two other miners, were near the
mouth Of a shute leading from the old
Santa Fe station TO the levels below, and
Was for some reason or other looking
down it when he slipped and was precita-
ted head first directly down the shute to
the bottom. a distance Of one hundred and
twenty-five feet. Those who were with
him cautioned him as TO the danger just
before he fell, and when they saw MN dis.
appear at once gave the alarm. The body
was recovered in less than five minutes
and brought 20 the surface, but he was
dead. or was just breathing his last, his
head being much lacerated and the skull
was broken. Neither his legs nor arms
were broken. Mr.. Ballard was a young
man, only ,wenty-three years OF age. a
native Of Preble county. Ohio. and I'M
married. His parents reside a, San Jose,
California, and he has q brother and sister
residing in Virginia. He had been work
ing in that mine for a long time past. and
like others, his familiarity with its dangers
had made him careless. He was much
esteemed by his brother miners and re-
spected BY a large circle of friends, who
deeply regret his sad and untimely death.
STILL ANOTHER SERIOUS ~ NOT FATAL
lSJURY.-Again one Of those accidents so
common in our mines, happened yes,er-
day morning, at ! o'clock, at the Over
man. Con. Msnley, q most respected
and estimable citizen, was at work by
himself in a drift, when ;be cage was low
cred 20 the i00-foot level, the depth from
which the drift was being run. Wishing
10 obtain a pick from above, although he
knew the signal for hosting had been
given. yet supposing time enough would be
afforded him TO spring across the cage to
the drift opposite in order TO get a pencil
from a friend TO write the necessary in.

and brought his shoulder violently in con-
tact with the cap above. He was bent
down and Frustrated. receiving very Sc
rious internal injuries. Drs. Weber and
CASTOR are affording all the aid their pro-
fes.ional skill can command-friends gath
cred around. for the man had many warm
ones, and are doing AL that kindness and
sympathy ca. suggest, but still the pros
poets Of recovery mus, be considered ex-
tremely doubtiui.
GENERAL PROSPERITY We do not
think. from the inquiries made and from
personal observation, that a more healthy
condition Of affairs ever was experienced
in Gold Hill than at the present time.
More mines are being worked with pay
ing success. more mills running, than at
any former period. Dc not the bullion
returns show this, weekly And when
our mills are constantly running and
mines worked with success, every other
branch % business connected with or de-
pendant on these our leading interests,
must necessarily share IN the common
prosperity. True. some .:sdes, profess
sions OF pursuits may be o. erdone, and
~QututlN NuGAC AC f'SAN'
are shared by too many, nothing very
encouraging results therefrom. Still we
rei,erate, tina, a most healthy condition OF
affairs exists and for anything we know to
the contrary, is likely TO continue for a
long period TO ONE. So mote it be.
CoLp WBArHER.-The last forty-eight
hours have brought about Il very notice
able change in the weather. From warm
and pleasant days and evenings, hard
looking. threatening clouds have filled the
sky, and mucn cold experienced. espe-
cisily Of nights and mornings. Stoves in
our saloons and other public places, as
well as in private families, have become
very comfortable articles, and in fact we
may say, indispensable ones. We hope
this will not last long, although at the
altitude We are in the mountains, and the
lateness Of the season, we cannot expect,
for a very long period, other than cold
night and mornings.
SuSDAY.-This day of the week. which
in all civilized communities is looked to as
one Of rest, religious instruction and gen
eral polishing up in personal appearance,
was as much observed in Gold Hill yes
day a. the nature Of our peculiar business
would permit. Many well dressed ladies
and gentlemen were out on our streets on
their way to our different churches and
we have no doubt were much benefited
by the instructions they received. Our
ministers and priests are capable enough
to impress religious truths upon the mind,
and by 40 doing, lead the sinfu! in the
ways Of righteousness and the paths OF
peace. v.. n
GENUINE ARrIcLE.-L. B. Frankel,
merchant, Gold Hill. last Saturday sent to
mr. ,auet,m several bottles as samples OF
hi. brandy and rye whisky. The articles
have been tested and pronounced 'upe.
,;or. The old French brandy is as smooth
and almost, as thick as olive oil; while the
old rye is certainly ahead OF any article IN
hi, State-we don't care who has any
other.
