caught by q cave In the Motz mine,
was rescued from his pcrilous situation,
alive, sound and we'll, at q O'Clock this
morning. His fellow workmen all
thought his chances of being found
alive were extremely small, but they
worked with all the energy Of des-
peration to rescue him, dead or live.
The cave was near the bottom Of the
old Stevenson incline, near the north
side. some 400 feet below the surface,
in the old Trench grouad, Gold Hill
praper. The short DRIFT where he was
working had passed beneath an old
shaft, which had been filled i'll with
waste rock from former workings, and
he was working In sound ground two
sete Of timbers beyond. Suddenly this
loose debris took a notion to cave,
breaking down through tho strong
tagging overhead and filling the drift
beneath. When he heard it coming he
heard it coming he sprang out of the
way, close to the back end or face OF
the drift, but the debris covered his
legs. leaving him but an extremely
limited space to live in. He, however,
was not hurt at all, and knowing that
his fellow miners would do all they
could to rescue him, he endeavored to
make the host of the situation. Know
ing that his lighted candle would con-
sumo more of his limited supply Of air
than he could afford to spare, he blew
it out, and, like q philosopher, waited
for more favorable events to transpire
in his favor. He could hear the four
men who were shoveling away the
debris. but they made too much noise
with their shoveis to hear him, until
about five o'clock this morning, when
they We're rejoiced to hear him for the
first time calling to them and telling
them lie was all right. An hour after
ward he crawled out Of his living
tomb, and made his way up the incline,
saying to the engineer rs lie emerged
into daylight "Py Shorge old poy,
dey can't Kill n Broossian quite so easy.
don't it? You bet dat o 4 tam digit
blace." lie felt Is gay rs a peacock,
and only complained of being mighty
dry" Says he "Vell, Is'pose goes
and gets a drink and den to breakfast"
No Oester was ever extracted from n
much Closer shell. He said he d.d.I't
think lie was down there more than
six or seven hours, and allowed that
he might have slept most of the time.
He was comfortable enough till tile
debris had all run down out Of the
shaft and let in a draft of cold air.
The boys have all knocked off work
to-day, and the lively little donkey
engine which did such active service
Yesterday and last night hosting the
debris from the incline, is cooled down
to rest. Rhine wine and thankfulness
t-day work rs usual to-morrow.
Notwithstanding to the
Enterprise, Jack Sheppard, the pede'-
trian, is having 4 rough time of it with
Matthews, his agent. Matthews man.
aged to get hold of all the money
taken in during the walking match,
and instead of paying bills, has been
trying to get away with all the coin.
Suspecting that lie was going to give
him the slip last night, Sheppard and
q friend went to Wells, Fargo u Co.'S
office last night about the time the
stages were ready to leave. He was
in one Of the coaches, but seeing Shop
pard approaching, he jumped out and
ran in the direction of Gold Hill.
Sheppard then got out n warrant for
his arrest, which was placed in the
hands Of an officer; he also telegraplled
to Reno to have him arrested should
he 90 there. His running away has
left the "walkist fiat broke, after all
his hard work. Matthews was ycster-
day obliged to she'll out $50 in the Po-
lice Court for fines-one Of $40 for dis
turbing the peace, and one Of $50 for
| carving concealed weapons. Shep-
pard says that he also gambled' OIL
some Of the money that came into his
hands.
