SHOCKING CAsUALTY.-About3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon shocking accident
occurred in the Peacock mine, just over
the divide, by which miner by the name
of George Mexican was severely, perhaps
fatally injured. He was down in the
shaft about 100 feet from the surface put
ting in blast. The hole had been
drilled into the rock and the powder
poured in. Mexican was using the
"spoon " to adjust the powder properly
before putting in the tamping. when a
spark was emitted and the dreadful ex-
plosion followed. When found he was
entirely rational; and properly secured
with ropes he was brought to the surface
and conveyed to the boarding house OF
Charles Ford. When we called at the
house we found DR.. A. G. Bishop in at
tendance upon the unfortunate man.
His face was so covered with blood and
blackened by powder that he could not
be recognized. The right arm is shat.
tered from the elbow down, so that there
is little hope of that member being saved
several teeth were knocked out, and both
eyes are SO badly injured that it is more
than probable they are utterly destroyed
His skull is considerably injured also
and il he survives his injuries, it is likely
that he will be cripple for life. Nc
Kean was subsequently conveyed to hi
4 own cabin, where he will be properl,
cared for. He is native of Pennsylva
MIA, and about "a years of age.
