Last Tuesday evening Mrs. Patrick Ma
har, a middle, aged woman, residing near
the head OF Dodge street, back OF the
gas house, had occasion to visit her sons
house, a short distance from the bluff.
Starting between nine and ten o'clock,
she proceeded along, and wandering
from the path fell into mineral hole
forty feet deep, where she remained un
til Wednesday noon. The shaft had
been worked years ago and abandoned,
and was covered with grass and weeds,
which no one would suspect concealed a
dangerous trap. Not returning that
evening, it was suspected that she had
concluded to remain at her sons house ;
but visit there disclosed the fact that
she had not been heard of. Search was
then made about the neighborhood, but
no traces of the missing woman could be
found for several hours. A woman
looking for her children, who had stray
ed away, found a shawl on the edge of a
mineral hole, which furnished clue to
the missing female, Assistance was
procured and the shaft explored, Down

To MAKE A STACK SETTLE TRUE

To MAKE A STACK SETTLE True
There are two things to do this ; keep.
ing the center up and pitching on
from all sides. This last makes the
stack settle evenly. Pitching on two
sides will balance it but it is not so
good, as it does not makeit evenly solid
all round, but leaves some parts lower,
where the water is apt to settle. BY
keeping the stack high in the centre, as
it is built up and sloping outward, the
rain will be unable to penetrate, as, like
a roof, it will ward it off, Keep high
in the middle from bottom to top, and
pitch on all sides to make equally solid.
