extent, however, and the damage is
or nothing. The cave amounted
to merely about 30 tons Of ore falling
from the east wall, commencing
five sets Of timbers above the
track floor Of the 1900. about 100 or
40 feet north Of the Belcher line. IL
extended some four or five sets Of tim
bers in length. aud found Its way down
to the track floor. Being all good ore.
il Is being hoisted to the surface, and
any further caving Is checked by suit
able tImbering, therefore no damage
to the mine results from 1t, and the
extraction Of ore goes on as usual.
Neither Is the extraction OF ore from
the Belcher mine through the Crown
Point ll0O-foot level interfered with.
Occurring as 1t did when the shifts were
changing, no one was at work there
consequently nobody got hurt by the
cave. The conclusion or displacement
of air caused by the falling OF such a
mass of ore blew out all the candles,
and sent n cloud Of dust whirling
through the adjoining drifts, even Into
the Belcher mine. The miners were
very much frightened, and several got
considerably bruised and scratched In
tumbling over each other or against
various objects in their cndeavors
to escape the unknown danger
in the dark. Some Of them were so
covered with dust as TO be almost un-
recognizable when lights were pro-
cured or they got to the surface. Asa
matter Of course, all sorts OF wildly
exaggerated stories were current this
morning relative to the extent OF the
cave and damage done, but what we
have given Is reliable.

day, shortly after the up passenger
train, Harry Shrlevcs, conductor, left

brought the boy up to the Mound
House. He was considerably cut and
bruised, and Shrieves thought best to
send him back to Carson by the down
train which passed him ut the Mound
House switch. Just before he reached
the Mound House, while going ut a
good rate OF speed, the two Indians
who had done the mischief, and who
appeared to be under the influence OF
liquor, becoming evidently afraid Of
being arrested, sprang of the train
and tumbled down q high emoank-
meni Arriving at the switch, the lit
tie Indian boy was given into charge
Of conductor Badgley, Of the down
train, with Information Of the two III
dams who had jumped of. and Badg'
