ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.

Mrs Brannan Mr. Smith
SEVERE MISING AccIDENT.-Fied.
Pollock. a miner working in the new
Overman shaft, was quite badly III
jured this morning. He was working
with others at the bottom Of the shaft,
engaged in sinking it deeper, when the
cage being lowered, n OF the men,
rs usual, called out "cage," In order
TO warn the others to be on their guard.
On hearing the warning, Pollock by
mistake stepped back into the very
compartment where the cage came
down, Just In time to catch 1t upon his
back, he being in q partially STOPPING
position. Its great weight almost
crushed him to the ground, although
the bell was Immediately rung and the
cage hoisted as oon rs possible. He
was taken to his residence, on the
grade back of the old Eclipse works,
where DIR. Hall attended him. He was
considerably bruised about the back,
but the worst injury was inflicted by
the edge of the cage, which crushed or
fractured the spinal process Of the fifth
or sixth vertebrate Or joints Of the back
bone. The spinal cord, however, was
not broken, therefore paralysis did not
ensue, and the prospects OF recovery
are good.
SURROUNDED THEM. - An old gen.
tleman returning from Silver City on
Tuesday night, says the Carson Regis
ter, was riding past the high bluff OF
rocks between the Halfway House and
Empire, when he espied some figures
of men, as he supposed, climbing up
the steep ascent. Suspectlng them to
be escaped prisoners, he rode back a
little, drew his revolver, clapped spurs
to his mustang and charged towards
them, shouting at the top Of his voice
..Come on boys; we've got them ~
The parties, hearing the shout and the
sound of horses hoofs OH the hard
rock, took shelter, and Il valiant
horseman went his way unmolested.
We doubt not they were the three who
stole the horses in Dayton on Wednes,
day, and but for the presence Of mind
of our antiquated friend, he might have
lost his valuable life, and his horse too.
