Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1872-04-10

ago last Sunday occurred the great five
In the Yellow Jacket Kentuck and
Crown Point mines, whereby thirty
nine miners lost their lives. That ter
rible calamity, which carried deep
grief into the hearts Of so many faml-
lies, and shed such a dark pail Of sor-
row over the entire community, will
never be forgotten. That fro ragged
for oyer q year before 1t finally died
out, and the bodies Of three OF those
unfortunate men, Thomas Laity. An
drew Reimay and Daniel O'Neil,
were never found, although frequent
and dillgent search has been made.
They were doubtless buried by a
cave In the old upper workings OF
the Kentuck, whittier they fed In try
ing to escape through into the Yellow
Jacket mine. AL traces Of that great
disaster to the mines are now nearly
or quite obliterated. and work goes on
In the depths az before. God grant
that another such visitation may new
take place.
