ACCIDENT IN THE CHALLsSoE MISr.-
Las, night. in the lower level Of the Chal-
lense mine, = man by the anne Of Tim
Downing made a very narrow escape from
death. While at work in u drift, q large
mount, Of loose rock or filling gave way,
and entirely closed up the front part Of the
drift in which he was at work. A large
force Of men at once went to work TO dig
him out, not knowing whether he was
living or dead but they found the poor
fellow uniniured, farther than being
frightened almost TO death. When found
he was down on his knees, and with that
true devotion that a person would natu-
rally feel when he expects not less than
three hundred feet Of earth to drop on
him the mex, moment. He was confess
ing oil his shortcomings and making
many promises Of future good behavior.
Even after he was taken out and on top
Of the ground, he continued 70 pour forth
his supplica,ion.. that he might BE- spared
and his future conduct should be such
As would be an example TO rising genera
tons. We have no doubt the poor fell
low fell, somewhat as Mark Twain did
when the foot-pad oyerhauled him.

tina, when he became insane his cousin
took his money for fear he would loose Il,
and IN a few days after started to Cali
fornia. He is waiting until he hears from
his cousin IN order TO get money TO pay
his expenses. Rather strange way OF
proceeding, to leave the poor fellow crazy
and broke.
PAY ORg.-During yesterday afternoon
we were in the lower part of Gold Hill,
making some notes Of the prospects OF the
mines. We found at the dump Of the new
Yellow JACKIE, Company large number
of wagons loading and in waiting yet the
large dump was full Of a superior quality
of ore. At the Kensuck and Crown Point
we found the same state Of things. The
ore now taken from these mines all m
from the lower levels, and is what Is
known as the white rock. The new works
of the Kentuck is almost completed. and
will be in running order in a few days.
