GIANT PowDER--On last Wednes-

Cured in the Gold Bluff Mining Com
pany's claims, Manzanita Hill, San
Juan, by which c. Jones lost his life
and Reese Nichols was severely III
iured. On Tuesday the parties had
put in a blast OF giant powder,
which did not explode. They after
wards got out all the powder they
could and put in another blast OF
gunpowder near the same place, on
Wednesday afternoon. This charge
went off and did satisfactory execu-
ton, In the afternoon, when they
came to work, Jones sounded the
rock with sledge, when a fearful
explosion followed, killing him
instantly, Nichols, who was severe
ly injured, managed to crawl some
distance and give the alarm, when
assistance was obtained. Nichols
injuries are OF a serious character,
but it is thought that he will recov-
er. The explosion is supposed TO
have resulted from the small guam
tity OF giant powder which remained

the blow upon the rock.-Neoddo
