o'clock yesterday morning, CLAUS Peter
son, a miner working in tho old portion
of the Savage mine, wishing to SO from
the fourth station to tho one above,
watched his chance and sprang upon a
cage which was coming up the shaft
from below where he stood. His spring
however was not entirely successful for
he stumbled, and before he could gather
himself safely upon the cage, his right
leg was caught, above the ankle, be-
tween the cage and side Of the shaft and
very badly damned, the space being less
than two inches. The engineer noticed
from the shaking Of the cable and the
different strain coming suddenly upon
il that something vas wrong and imme-
diately stopped hosting, not however
until the leg had dragged in this terrible
way some ten or Gfteen feet. There
was another miner upon the cage, and
their shouts o informed those at the
surface what was the matter. So firmly
was the leg wedged in, that the side
plankiug OF the shaft had to be cut away
before it could be e~Stricated, the unfor-
tunate limb meanwhile remaining IN
that overwhelmingly painful position over
au hour. On being brought to the sur
face, Mr.. Peterson was taken TO his
boarding house on north c street, where
DR.. Hitler being sent for, came and at
tended him. The Doctor thinks no
bones are broken, but tho limb is very
badly strained. The nan was very for
tuuato in escaping with so little injury,
for he certainly took desperate chances,
and has no one to blame but himself.
He however WAS no more reckless than
many other miners, who are in the habit
OF taking just those same kind OF chan
ces every day.
PIrERs' OcERA HoUsE.-The Opera
House was well filled last evening, and
the second presentation OF the CHM
ney Corner" was fully as we'll received
rs the FIRST, and deservejly so, for a
more pleasing play, meritoriously rom
dered could hardly be conceived. The
RAILROAD Scene a~(terpiecs is n great
theatrical trump, and can never fail 10
extract q hearty laugh from even the
most cynical. This evening the beauti-
full domestic play in three acts, drama
tized by Bourcicault, from Charles
Dickens very popular story OF "Dot,"
or the Cricket on the Hearth will be
placed on the stage in q very superior
and effective manner, and with a strong
cast Of characters, Mr.. G. w. Couldock
personating Caleb Plummer,' Miss
= Couldock "Dot," Pierpout Thayer
"Ned Plummer," Woodland "John Per
rybingle," aud the balanee of the dra-
mats persone will be all right. This
is a play which cannot fail to suit even
the most critical, and we expect to see
another crowded house this evening.
Reserved seats can be secured without
extra charge, OF application at the boz
office Of the theater.

Il really spirited and excellent singer II
San Francisco, but it contracted q ter
rible cold in the head, crossing th'
snow-clad summit Of tho Sierra, whicl
evidently had the effect to render l
deaf and dumb, for it fails ever since Il
articulate a single note. The little FOL
low hops around, jerks his tail, nn'
twitlers his little bill and swelling
threat Mt an ambitious rate, but some
how not the least noise comes forth, al
though he probably thinks from the ia
Of his throat that he is doing up som
mighty tall singing. Brier is feeding
him goose grease and catniP tea, Ant
has strong hopes.
