H EVENING NEWS.

the m Of Samuel Hogan, Jas. YER
non and Robert Osborn, came near
losing their lives. There is an old shaft
in the mine, which was sunk several
years ago, and the men were at WORK
running a drift from it, when the val
at the head or front Of the dritt began
TO cave. There was a hole in the PLANK
ING over the shaft, which let the dirt
and rocks 60 down, so that it did moi
accumulate, or the men would v
been crushed to death. Osborn and
Vernon went to work in the shaft, and
were the parties who were caved on.
Hogan had his shoulder dislocated by
attempting to get to them to render
them assistance, and in doing so he Tell
through some timbers, and to save him,
self threw his arm over a timber ana
held on to it, although his arm was dis
located in the operation. Vernon had
the bone of one of his arms fractured,
while Osborn was badly bruised, but
less seriously injured than either OF
the others. He is said TO have been
covered to q depth Of four feet on two
occasions during the caving. How he
came out alive it is difficult to imagine.
DR.. CASTOR was called and attended 10
the injuries Of Hogan and Vernon, and
Dr.. Hall attended to Osborn. The acct
dent occurred at a depth Of $50 feet
from the surface.
OPENING OF YELLOW JACKET Horst
To-day we were It the opening feast Of
the Yellow Jacket Hotel, Mr.. John Rus
sell, proprietor. Time will not permit
us to give anything like a description
of the huge piles of good things under
which the tables groaned. Turkey,
chicken, pork, beef, veal, fish, and many
other kinds of meats, were on the table.
Fresh green peas, beans, and all kinds
Of vegetables. Pies, cakes, puddiugs,
Of every description. A perfect army
of bottles, filled with various kinds of
sparkling wine, kept sentry at intervals
Of every six inches. In short, from the
looks Of the table, and all the arrange
ments about the house, we do not think
Russell will ever have to rustic for
boarders.
WAsHoE EXCHANGE. - Uncle Dave
Evans, of the washoe Exchange Billiard
Saloon, is bound to keep up with the

coming handsome since he has taken
up his abode with Uncle Dave. Give
them q call.
TAKE NorE.-The Miners Union, Of
this town, meet tonight at the Theater.
The meeting, we respectfully suggest,
would do we'll to consider the pending
Mine Tax Bill. If it passes the Legisla-
ture it will be approved and enforced;
and then white mems wages must go
down, or they must give way, as miners,
to Cinnamon. There is no humbug
about this. Our delegation ought to
be appealed to, to resist any and every
attempt to change the present Revenue
Law, which is about out in its exactions
Of taxes. The people, the laboring
men are, or ought really to be, more
interested in defeating Blasdel's Bill for
taxing miners, han the mine owners,
Directors and Superintendents.
PIsroLIc.-Let him who runs read
and he who does not read had better
not run. If he can't read himself, let

ON business, and not being "posted

stable Higgins, with his pistol strapped
