The CASE OF GEO. CARNEY.-The
Chronicle of last evening attempts to
shift the burden Of responsibility for
the death Of George Carney from the
officers Of the Crown Point Mining
Company. by saying that he was not
In the employ Of the company ut
the time the accident occurred which
cost him his life. All that the Chroni-
Gle says In relation to the matter does
not explain away the tact that OH the
morning OF the accident, George Car

was working at the bottom Of the
Crown Point incline, and that while
ascending the incline in obedience to
the summons Of the pumpman in the
company's employ. he was struck by
the giraffe" which was allowed to
descend without giving him sufficient
warning, and that In consequence OF
Injuries received at the time. he died
and left his family In destitute circum-
stances. We do not believe that the
officers Of this powerful corporation
are disposed to shirk any responsibility
incurred by them, nor shall we be sur
prised to hear that they have made
some provision for the Immediate ne
cessitiss Of the poor mans family, even
though his death occurred through no
fault OF theirs.

ists have a bitter enemy to contend
with In the shape Of the alkali which
abounds plentifully in all the waters
of this vicinity. The alkali operates
al a powerful agent In corroding Inc

with which It comes in contact. It's

fixtures, such as stop-cocks, valves,

such a degree as to make their replace
ment necessary about once in three
months. Several of the locomotives
on the Virginia aud Truckee Railroad
which could not get to the Carson river
for water during the American Flat
tunnel blockade. were very badly dam
aced by the alkali. The only locomo-
tive which has escaped injury alto
getber Is the Reno, which takes water
only from the Carson and TrucKee
