FATAL MINING AccIDEST.-About 8
o'clock last evening Joseph Mitchell and
another miner, b~reasting out ore between
the 500 aud 900-foot levels Of the Yell
low Jacket mine, cut through into an
old shute. Quite q draft of air and
some little dust came from the hole,
which was mistaken for the fatal gas,
and the alarm being given, a general
panic and stampede took place. The
men went clambering down the ladders
to the level below, aud Mitchell andcom-
pauion being last, had to wait for
u chance at the crowded ladders.
Fearing that the gas would catch them,
Mitchell and his companion started
down a neighboring ore shute, Chamber
ing down from one set Of timbers to
another. Suddenly Mitchell. who was
behind, said, "Let's jump" and he did
jump, dropping about so feet to the
bottom, and being instantly killed. His
| companion climbed farther down and
jumped also, escaping with a few
bruises. Mitcheil's head must have
struck against u timber in falling, or he
fell head foremost, for his face was badly
bruised and scratched, and his neck was
said to be broken. He was q native of
Cornwall, England, nearly 90 years OF
age, unmarried, and was o young man
highly esteemed by all who knew him.
His funeral takes place at q o'clock P. N.
tomorrow from Wilson &Brown'suuder-
taking establishment, Gold Hill. Mr..
O'Donnell, foreman Of the mice, was
below at the time, and directly dis
covered this to be q false alarm, but he
had quite a job to assure the men Of
that fact and get them to work again.
He succeeded, however, at last.
