FATAL MINING ACCIDENT. Samuel
Roberts, a miner, was instantly killed
in the new shaft of the ophir mine at
an early hour this morning. The pump
rod had broken aud was being hoisted
out, when the rope broke and the heavy
rod fell back, knocking Roberts from
where he was standing, and he fell a
distance of 200 feet, to the bottom OF
the shaft. He was considerabl broken
up and mutilated, especially about the
head, and doubtlessly Instantly killed.
He was a C~ornishman, single, and
about SO years of age. The body was
taken to the undertaking establishment
of Wilson L Brown, on B street, and an
inquest will be held by Coroner Symous
ut 6 o'clock this evening. There were
W or three other men in the shaft at
the time, aud they were indeed fortu.
nate in escaping unhurt. The cause OF
this terrible casualty appears to have
been purely accidental, or a mistaken
estimate Of the strength Of a rope.
PArHrrlo.-Dan, of The Enterprise, is
again deranged about his pipe, and this
morning discourseth as follows:
BE GooD.-we hope that the person who
took our pipe last evening will let US know
where We can ind 1t and redeem ~. we are
willing to pay once more, but this thing Oh
having ones pipe nipped and soaked Tor
three or four dollars every week or two is by
no means funny. Sheriff Cummings and his
deputies have a description of our pipe, and
unless we are favored with an opportunity Of
redeeming it very soon, we will prosecute the
man in whose possession it may be found,
for grand larceny. We are tired OF this
thing Of redeeming pipes. We have one pipe
which we bought six years ago, the original
cost of which was so, on which we have
paid over $50 at saloons where we found 1t
in "soak." II may be very good fun for
some persons, but we are getting tired oft
very tired Of it.
The greatest joke in the above item is
that the poor fellow evidently is infat-
uated with the idea that he has smoked
one and the same pipe for the last six
years, when it 10 a patent fact that sa-
loon keepers and others have for years
kept him redeeming somebody else's
pipe, under the impression that it was
his own each time. His old pipe got
demoralized at an early date, and has
remained so ever since. No wonder he
saws this thing Of having ones pipe
nipped and soaked for three or four dol
lars every week or two is by no means
funny. It may be very COED fun for
some persons, but we are getting tired
Of livery tired"
FIsHY.-Numerous varieties of the
fnny tribes which roam the broad
waters of the dark blue sea, or wiggle
their active tails and shining sides
Though the bounding currents Of the
rolling rivers, ripping brooks or bright
silver lakes OF the Sierra Nevada, are to
be seen in our markets, plentiful, fresh
and good. Monuot, G s~teeet, Virginia,
A few doors north Of the Enterprise
building, has a splendid menagerie OF
them, from the sweet, scaly perch and
glittering smelt, to the gay tomcod and
luscious salmon Tor !" Washoe sardine,"
as be has it). He will receive a lot OF
fresh whales from Monterey next week.
Call and hear Mounot describe the
habits, pe~culiarities and prices Of each
species Of fish.
COOP Staying AT VIRGiSIA.-Thomp-
son / Me,calf. the well known profess
sors of p~enmauship, at Virginia, exhibit
a specimen pen drawing IN that line,

mounted on n healthy well muscled
charger, riding right over a huge
dragon, which beast Is a cross between
a Mississippi crocodile and a big Cali
forpia lizard, and the way he is having
n huge keen spear run into his nostrils

keep himself perfectly cool in the mat
ter, being gorgeously dressed solely IN
O huge Roman helmet, but is making II
mighty hot for that squirming, scaly
old dragon.
