Further PARTICuLAKS.-ErOm Cap
tain Lyon. County Coroner, who held
a n inquest yesterday morning, at
Camp No. j.. near Lake View, we Ob-
tanned the following particulars of the
accident occurring Friday, on II '.
and 7. Il. r.: The affair happened
about 2;30 p. M, and was Occa>ioned
by the premature explosion of a blast
put in for The purpose of looseniug
the dirt and rock ON the side of the
hill toward Carson. The hole was
about - feet deep. and from fifteen 10
eighteen kegs of powder had been
placed therein. when the explosion Oc
Cured. one IA MAS at the bottom

the others We're handing down. There
We're IN all. nine men near the pot

men and the uiu3h The foreman, q.

Cinnamon were killed outright, some
uf them being blown into fragments
and three being entirely without sem

probably he totally blind. a. his ewes
ara completely closed and his face
badly turned. The eScape OF Mr..
Small wa> liltle short OF a miracle.
He WAS standing less than six feet from
the mouth of the hole, and When the
explosion occurred. WAS thrown 10y
the conclusion a distance OF NJ least
sixty feet. oNer rocks and hOuiderS,
down a steep bank, and landed on bis
right hip al the bottom. 1t Is almost
incredible TO believe, from a view Of
the locality. that a nan cOHii be 50
roughly handled and e>tlpe un-
harm ell. Vet he anne Oft with only a
few slight bruises and some skin abra
sions. although unconscious for a few
moments after the occurrence. He l.
utterly at a loss to cot for the ex
pio>Iun, having been cry careful in
having the man in the pot hole bare
foot. and tn have no powder scattered
about the ground. The aus of The
accident Will probably always be un-
known. unless the Chinaman who j.
blinded NAV. on recovery. be able to
give some information in regard to it.
The bodies were taken care of by
friends.
An INDUSTRIOUS RANCHER.-O. y.
/. Gilbert, a long time resident of
orm~hE county, owns a small farm,
near Dut1y's soap factory, in the south
end of town. that j. the hest exempli
fis.tiou of the often used term mul-
tum in parvo." There l. not an inch
of his ground that is not under cul-
and productive. Whilst
al her men are hugginr stone in the
Oil. is hauling manure, and
the consequence l.. that he has the
best titled piece of ground iii the
world. There are several springs on
the premises and every drop OF water
has been collected 50 as to be made
We are of the impress
sion that if Gilbert had a hundred
acres OF ground similarly situated. he
would beat his friend Horace Greeley
a farmer.
MAXIM GAs.-Maxim Gas. the name
into Carson City, like some
other inflamtpable material, does not
come to time as quick as talked of. The
ielav in lighting up is CAUSED. not 10y
fault of the agent; lie lived too
.ong in Carson and is TOO well known

charge him with a tendency to blow.
If any apology i to be made on ac
