Flood In u Lead Mine-- Miners Imprisoned
In u Cave all Night,

From the Dubuque qowa) Herald March 2d1
rather startling incident especially to the
men Immediately interested, occurred on Wednes.
day night at the lead mine of Chapman, Peacock
Bunting. Mr.. Peacock, with a miner named
Kelly, had, during the day, been at work in the
western part of the mine, seven or eight hundred
feet from the shaft On proceeding toward the
shaft IN the evening, and reaching a point about
three hundred and fifty feet from the shaft where
the way suddenly descends about fourteen feet to
the level of the drift, they discovered the drift
was full of water. All hope of egregs, SO far as
their own efforts could go, was cut off.
AS they dld not appear at home at the usual
hour, the alarm was given and it was soon found
by those outside that stream of water from the
melting snow had descended to an old shaft at
some distance from the one used at present, and
had flooded the whole length Of the old drifts on
that range, and the space named in this mine.
There was but one thing to do to rescue the
men, and that was to remove the water to such an
extent that the men could wade in the drift and
have breathing space between the water and the
roof. Fortunately in a new shaft being sunk over
the cave where the men where imprisoned. drill
hole had been extended through some thirty feet
of rock to the cave. Through this hole coniimuni.
cation was soon had with the men and assurance
given of their efforts to rescue them Candles
were dropped to them in order that they might
not be compelled to spend the night in utter dark
ness There was really little danger that the water
would rise SO high as to drown them, for they
had access to another cave where they could, if
ASss''ei eSNShu o'Vi sHcuby iSet duuNc tue utQ
level of the water.
But the rescue depended on reducing the water,
when streams in every direction the surface
were pouring into every old shaft and crevice
where by force Of gravity they could find ingress.
To Peacock and Kelly the prospect must have
been gloomy enough.
Means of raising water were procured: two
sets OF men commenced the labor after dark at
two shafts, and relieved at intervals by other
volunteer miners, who worked with will to res
cue their mining friends. This work went on all
night, and yesterday morning the water in the
drift was found to be so reduced that the men
could perhaps wade or swim to the shaft. 1t was
chilling undertaking. If they failed, they would
be obliged to return to the cave and await results.
They plunged in, not without much fear that the
attempts to reach the shaft would be unsuccess-
ful. Fortunately, however, there was no spot in
the three hundred and fifty feet where the water
was so near the roof as to prevent breathing. On
reaching the bottom of the shaft, they were i'm
mediately raised seventy-fve feet to the surface,
safely rescued from the danger and suspense incl

A Rare and Beautiful Spectacle at San
Francisco.
From the San Francisco Alta Jan OF

From the San Francisco Alta, Jan. g.
After nearly twenty-four hours of storm, the
clouds lifted from the horizon just before sunset
yesterday evening, and revealed to the eyes of San
Franciscans strange and wondrousy beautiful
spectacle. As the mist rolled up from the valley
of Alemeda and passed over the mountain range
which bounds our horizon on its eastern rim, the
hills from the green gardens and orchard lands
along their base, up to the craggy SUBMITS, were
seen clad in thick robes of snow, which glistened
as coldly white in the rays of the setting sun as
that which the wondering traveller beholds on the
peak of Mont Blanc or the Jungfra. Every eye
turned to gaze at the strange spectacle of noun
tains of pearl set in borders of emerald, the white
snow above, and the bright, green grass below
standing out before the eye in startling contrast,
and each beholder saw something unseen by
others.
The Switzer saw his native mountains clad in
their robes of majesty; the son of New England
saw the White Mountains, or the Green Mountains
once more, and shvered as of old, in imagination,
under the touch of the wntry blast; the miner OF
40 saw the snow-capped Sierra Nevadas, and
stood once more young, ambitious and hopefully
beside his rocker on the banks of the Yuba-and
so on to the end of the chapter A thousand gazed
upon the spectacle, but no two alike. And now
even as they gazed, the heavy, dark curtain of the
cloud traed its broad fringe of luminous vapol
over the submits of the range and disappeared
while another and more beautiful scene unfolded
itself to the vision. Mount Diablo came out OF the
mist white as if cut from the purest marble from
foot hills to topmost peak, and then in an instant
caught the full light of the setting sum- and food
of SOFT plpkrose color and carmine hues tlickereG
and played alternately on every part of it, crown
ing the wondrous scene with glory ineXpressible
then grew dim and disappeared in the shadows Of
the night The child who witnessed that Won
drous spectacle, may live to traverse the whole
earth in search of the sublime and beautiful with
out beholding its equal, and its like may not BIZ
seen again in lifetime by the dweers in dus
