, strange accidcn, befCl 1t. The wagon
wa. loaded with quartz from the Cantor
MIA dump, having on board $4,000 pounds,
and on the way to Washoe; u Just as
the WACO gained Sutton Avenue 1t began
IN slide down hill, and before the driver
rould stop il, the hind portion OF the wag-
on had got started down the hill. and all
Ina, was lef, for him 10 do was to get his
horses loose. which he did, with the eS-
cep,ion of the wheelerS, one of which had
the tugs loosened, and the other was fast
BY the breast straps. In this situation the
wagon kept moving down Sutton Avenue
10 ID street. and across the same. All
efforts TO block the wheels with stones
proved fruitless. and here the scene closes
with a grand .fnGLs. There is a bank on
the lower side Of d street, about ten feet
down and almost perpendicular, over
which the wagon. horses and all took q
fearful leap. The first thing the wagon
came in contact with after it went over
the cmbankment was the gable end OF q
small house, which IL struck precisely III
the center, taking out the whole end OF
the house. but leaving both corners unin-
iured. The quartz was all dumped IN the
cellar, entirely filling II up. his house
WAS occupied by two gentlemen of color,
who were asleep at the time, one on each
side of the house; and when asked what
they thought was up, n Of them ex-
claimed, Lord Masser. I tot Noun
Davidson had broke loose from her moor
ms and come down here, sah!" A New
foundland dog wa on top Of the load Of
quartz and went through the whole trag-
edv. and house also, and came u I'M
scathed. The horses that were dragged
over the embankment were injured. but
how badly is not known. The wagon
sustained abou; $500 damage.
SILVER CIrY.-On Saturday evening we
made a flying visit to Silver City, and found
Silver in Stata quo. Silver, like most other
places at the presen, time, has BY, little life.
The hotels and saloons, tina, two wears ago
were crowded, are now almost deserted. The
mos, OF The mills. however, are in operation.
The Nevada Foundry, OF MessrS, Mead u
McCone, being AZ this time the principal Tea
,urc Of the place, we propose giving i snort
description Of il. The foundry was oul.t
during las, Summer and Fall; the mateTia!
NJ which il is constructed being q kinu OF
lava or sol, stone. The machine shop is
SOxSO feet, and the foundry, or moulding
room, is 7Oxl2O feet, the whole Of which is
covered with a tin roof and painted. The
machine shop is supplied with tive OF the
most improved lathcS for turning lron, also
two wood lathes, one iron palmer, and one
upright drill. The moulding room contains
4 3O-horse engine tina; drives all the ma
chinery of the establishment, also two fans,
one for the forgcs and one for the cupola.
The foundry contains a brass furnace, II
large oven for driving cores, three FORCES, n
mammoth derrick crane, capable Of raising
six thousand pounds, and conveying It 70 al
most auy point in the room. The floor OF
the moulding room i sufficiently large 20
mould twelve tons ~ one casting. The hrm
have on hant At the present time 800 tons Of
pig-irou, 100 tons OF coal, IS tons OF wrought
iron, and Is tons Of steel. With the fScili-
ties that. this establishment has for doing
work, together with the large amount Of stock
on hand. the proprietors feel that they are
prepared 70 do any and all kinds of work that
our mills and mines may eQuir IL their
line, and they are certainly entitled 10 pa
.ronage for the vast outlay they have made
in securing 10 this State an establishment so
much needed. We extend to Mr.. Fountain,
foreman OF the machine shop, and to Mr..
Emmi,, foreman Of the foundry, our thanks
for the interest they took in showing US
around, and for the information impaired.
SUDDEN DEATH. - On Sunday, DR..
Bronson held an inquest on the body OF
John Carpenter, a workman in the Alpha
mine, who died very suddenly. The de-
had been in his usual good health,
except having a slight cold OF the lungs.
On Sunday morning he ate his breakfast,
without any unusual symptoms of illness,
but in about ten minutes thereafter he
suddenly taken with a vomiting Of
blood from the lungs, and died in a few
moments. The physicians, we believe.
pronounced his complaint apopleSy o;
the lungs. The deceased was aged about
thirty-tive years. and is said 20 have been
a sober and industrious man.

the mine by Mexicans on the share.
we think an excellent idea.
NEW MBrAoD.-We noticed a wagon
yesterday. at a mill near Gold Hill. cap
sized. The wagon had been loaded with
wood, and Just as it reached the place OF

loading wood reminds us Of a lazy man
we once knew, by the name OF Jay Hole,
who wrote his name by making Il letter J

paper.
