more stringent and e~lfectual lava for
protection against mining accidents,
and for the better safety Of miners
generally, is becoming more and more
apparent, rs the mines throughout the
country progress to greater and o
dangerous depths. The Salt Lake
Herald of the 18th instant, comment
ing upon this important subject, says:
.In view of the many terrible acct
dents which have happened to miners
in Pennsylvania during the last year,
Governor Geary, In his annual mes
sage, strongly recommends the pas
sage of \ law to more offectually secure
the safety of those who delve In the
earth. We all recollect the awful loss
Of life from the burning Of the timber
ing in several Of the mines at Gold
Hill, Nevada, In tho Spring OF 1869.
The men were sutfocated because the
single avenue of escape was on fire.
We refer to these matters ut the pre-
sent time because OF the Governors
recommendation Of the passage by tho
Legislature of a general law governing
mining matters. If the Legislature
does pass such a law, 1t should es-
pecially embody n provision requiring
the construction, in all deep mines,
of ample means of quick egress for the
miners, in case Of an accident. Every
deep mine ought to be provided with
at least two shafts. Nor is this re-
quirement a hardship upon the owners
of mines. The %pecunlary loss to the
proprietors Of the Gold Hill mines,
resulting from the mines taking fire,
" greater than would have been the
cost of fifty extra shafts. These extra
shafts are often favorable to economic
workings and are always n necessity
to purify the atmosphere In deep and
damp mines"
PROFESSOR FowLER's LEcrUREs.-
Tho second private lecture to the gem
tlsmen given last eveningat the Opera
House, was well and Approximately
attended, and the renowned Professor
wa listened to with rapt attention
throughout. He advanced many Ideas
which were new to all present, thero-
fore all got the worth Of their money
and moro too. We shall defer n full
and critical report till after the Pro.
teSsor has gone. Suffice IL for the pres
snt for us to remark, that he told them
lots OF very interesting things, which
all the married men fastened to tell
their wives rs soon as they could get
home. and all the single men arc on
the marry so as to have somebody to
tell il 10. In the sale Of his valuable
books the Professor has met withgrcat
success, and he has all he can possibly
do in the way Of private chronological
examinations at his rooms In the In-
ternational Hotel. lie will give his
famous and highly Interesting lecture
on "Love, Courtship and Matrimony,"
Tomorrow evening, ut Miners Union
Hall. Every lady and gentleman In
Gold Hill should hear that lecture,
which we consider by all odds the best
the Professor gives. He tells lots OF
wholesome truths in very pleasing
style, and handles the subject In n par
tlcularly interesting manner, always
with the full sympathy with the heart
lily approving audience. In connection
with the idea of this being Leap Year
we confidently predict that there Will
be moro matches made in Virginia and
Gold Hill this season than ever before.
