fled as Elminger. Medical aid was
summoned, when 1t was discovered
that a serious II not fatal wound had
been inflicted upon his person In the

MINER KILLED.,
[From the Phoebe Record OF Frlday.l

(From the Phoebe Record OF friday 70 s
On Wednesday evening, about half
past 6 o'clock, John A. Coulter, q
miner employed In the Kingston mine,
OH Panaca Flat, came to his death by
All accident, the particulars Of which
are RS follows: He was engaged in
sinking the shaft /; three holes had been
charged, and he was left below to place
the "snuffs" under the fuses. This lie
did, and then gave the signal to hoist.
IN hoisting, the rope in some way be-
came entangled between the end OF
the drum-barrel and the standard OF
the windiass, thereby rendering 1t i'm
possible for the men on top either to
raise or lower. Knowing we'll the sit
ustion he was In all this time. the men
at tho windlass commenced pulling
him up hand over hand as rapidly as
possible. They had raised him to
within a short distance of the top
about 100 feet from the bottom OF the
shaft. when he called to them to "pull
steady" Immediately alter he had
called TO them, one Of the blasts went
of, and the men engaged in drawing
him up felt the rope suddenly slack,
and knew at once that he had fallen
Of. Assistance was ut once sent down
the shaft, and he was found dead. An
examination Of the body showed that
his neck was broken and the back Of
bis head completely smashed In, prov
Ing that death must have been instanta-
neous. Deceased was we'll known and
generally esteemed In this vicinity ;
also In Silver City and Virginia, New,
In which former place he was em-
ployed for a long time in the Twin
mine. He was a native of Ottawa,
Canada, and unmarried. The funeral
took place yesterday.

ELDER GRANTS CONSOLATION,

from tho Grass Valley Union Of saturday.1
Elder Miles Grant, the Second Ad-
veptist, who Is lecturing ct Nevada
City, has proved to the satisfaction OF
the population there that the wicked,
In the great hereafter, are TO be Ut
terly destroyed. They are not TO be
roasted In material fire kept up by
birthstone, nor arc they 70 bs mentally
tortured through eternity. In other
words, Elder Grant denies "ths' ster-
nifty Of hell,s lot Jurisdiction over the
sinners. Those who die good the Elder
thinks will enjoy bliss forever. The
good are to live forever, and the bad
are simply annihilated. 1t Is said that
the vast majority Of Nevada City-ltes
prefer this view Of the case. The sim
ners prefer humiliation to so much red
hot Are. The orthodox insist that eter-
nal punishment 10 the thing. They
don't want the bad let of with . mere
death. Elder Grant will please bring
his consolation to Grass Valley.

IMPORTANT MINING PROJECT.

From the Nevada Transcript April ISL
The North Bloomfield Gravel Min
ing Company has withdrawn their
property in this county from market,
and the Superintendent has been in
structed to commence Immediately the
thorough development Of the claim.
This Is to be accomplished by-a tunnel
5000 feet in length, running from
Humbug Greek. at such 4 depth as to
drain the North Bloomfield basin. In
the opening Of this tunnel = new plan.
is to be adopted. Three shafts will be
sunk Immediately on the line Of the
tunnel, and when these are down to
bed rock the tunnel will be worked
each way. The new method to be u,0i
in opening these shafts will be IS fol-
lows : A hole Il to be bored, just as
Is done for an artesian well, the full
depth to which it Is intended to sink
the shaft. This hole Is to be filled with
sand. and when It Is desired TO put In
blast, Just so much Of the sand will
DO taken out as the workmen desire for
blast, and after work commences
they will be able to blast and sink as
fast as they can dig sand and remove
rock. Those who have determined
upon this plan. feol confident that the
work can DO done much cheaper and
expeditiously than BY the old plan.

MINING INVESTMENTS.
From the Pacific Coast Rsvisw.l

From the Pacific Coast heFleW.i
In mercantile pursuits It has been
demonstrated that not more than one
man in every hundred succeeds ulti-
mately In acquiring and retaining
wealth and Independence. SO also: In
real estate, manufacturing, and other
branches OF business. This Is mainly
owing to the fact that purchases are
made incautiously, and the business ID
injudiclously managed. 70 succeed In
any enterprise requires man to be
familiar with the business engaged In,
aud after a knowledge Of the business
Is obtained 1t must DO applied In An
energetic and systematic style. The
most powerful promoter Of wealth Is
economy, and In no field, perhaps, can
It do more to make Investments profit
able than in mining operations. An
absence Of this essential qualification
In the trustees and managers Of mining
corporations, Il the principal cause Of
losS In many instances, to the stock
holders /; when coupled with Ignorance
and Incidence, II becomes no only bur-
densome, but destructive. These Gle
ments exist In almost every branch OF
business to as great an extent as In
mining operations.
That mining investments are as To-
gitimate us any other Investments no
one can honestly deny, and that they
should be made much moro profitable
under q judicious and honest manage
ment, all must admit. There never
has been a time In the history Of this
coast when mining was more prosper
Gus than ut present. A vast change
has been made Of late In the mode Of
mining, which has made IL more profit
abla, aud given 1t a new impetus.
Years ago, the hardy aud industrious
miner could evolve fortunes from the
ready soil, without the Investment Of
any capital, but that day has passed ;
but the time has succeeded when there
Is no better employment for capital
than In Its application to the develop
ment OF gold and silver from quartz.
The capital already invested In mines
Of this character has been remunera-
tive. and though largo the amount In.
vested, still it has taken mostly the
form OF assessments. Tho aggregate
amount of capital on all tho eighty
five leading mines dealt In at the Stock
Board Is about ga 10000. This sum
mostly represents the capital sub
scribed for working expenses before
the mines paid anything, or during the
period In some Of them when the ore
ran low. The machinery, holstlng
works, mills, ETC., doubtless represent
the greater portion Of this amount.
Now, In order to prove that this capi-
tai has been remunsratiye, We have
only to show that these same mines
have paid their stockholders In diyi-
dends the sum Of $2S, 900. 900, or double
the amount Of the original capital In
vested. They have produced $780,
900. 900 OF bullion, out OF which the en-
ployes, mechanics, merchants, foun-
dries and all who furnish the supplies
necessary for the working Of the mines,
have got their living, and some Of
acquired wealth. These results have
been achieved by a nominal capital
furnished by the original stockholders
and owners Of these mines. Many Of
them never cost a dollar, but paid their
way from the start.

EMPEROR NORTON,
from the Masonic Mirror.l


The erratic individual known to San
Fnnciscans and Pacific coasters by the
above cognomen, but in Masonry rs
Brother Joshua Norton, was formerly
a member OF Occidental Lodge, No.
~, In this city. His name appears as
No. 81 In seniority Of membership.
Members OF, the Order still remember
him as a brother, and materially assist
In his support, and will never allow
him TO suffer; and when death shall
put a stop to the deranged mental ma
chinery, they. will lay him away as
carefully as II he was a real emperor d;
and his sleep will be far more peace
full, and his freed spirit will enter rs
exalted a sphere as II he had really
worn a crown while on earth. The
physical machinery may become de-
ranged, the balance wheel of the mind
become impaired, and all may "gang
a gee" hero in this world of misfor-
tuno; but OH the other side of the
river Is perfection Of life, life without
alloy, life unclouded, where, We have
no doubt, Brother Norton will walk
the streets Of the New Jerusalem with
. real crown of glory on his brow.
We only wish that all were as HARM
less and innocent Of wrong as he.

from the Eureka Sentinel OF Saturday.
The great excitement over the gold
diggings on the Diamond river In Co.
orado. Is likely to receive a sudden c.
lapse. and parties who started In tile
first flush Of the excitement will find
themselves sadly disappointed, and Ie-
turn to their first love, broken in pock-
ct and health. A letter written By
one Of the earliest of these gold-seek-
era, represents the whole affair Of the
excitement an undoubted "bilk" of the
frst water. We have unbounded con-
ndence In the representation of the
writer Of the letter referred to, and,
using his own words. we but speak our
belief In the non-existence of gold in
that section-he says: IF any of our
or my friends think Of starting for this
country, stop them, as 1t Is a blk Of
the first water. Eureka Is the best
