CRrppIEp FOR LlFE.-Abont z o'clock on
Thursday evening very sad accident,
resulting from the practice of coasting,
occurred on Meadow Valley street. 1t
appears that a man named Hugh Gately
was in the street Directly in front Of
Shields & Poujade's store, while two
large sleds-one with three men aboard,
the other with two--were coming down
the hill at rate Of speed which would
have distanced Dan Voorhees, or Thad
Stevens. The sled with the three men
aboard was ahead-the other close be-
hind. The coasters, as usual, shouted
Track" Track" hoping the warn
inc would be sufficient to induce pedes-
TRANS to get out of the way. Gately
heard the warning and tried to clear the
track for the coasters, but the street be-
Ing very slippery at that point, the man
could not move quick enough, and he
was tripped by the first sled and fell
Two gentlemen who saw him fall sprang
TO his as sistance, and so far succeeded as
TO save him from being struck upon the
head, and no doubt saved his life. In
spite of their efforts the man was severe
" injured. He was conveyed to DR..
Deals drug store, where his wounds were
attended by DR.. Deal, and subsequently
he was taken to the County Hospital,
where he is now. The right leg is
broken in three places below the knee,
and this member is the most severely in
jured. The other leg is broken below
the knee and much OF the flesh torn off.
Gately is about so years Of age, by occu-
patton miner, and is unmarried. His
general health was good at the time of
the accident. IA G 5It 4
CHRISTMAS Yesterday was day of
general hilarity and feasting. and every
body seemed to be having jolly good
time. On no previous occasion have we
seen so many men under the influence of
liquor as we saw yesterday and last night
in the streets OF Phoebe. 1t is proper to
say. however, in this connection, that
there had been but little lighting whis-
ky" drank, for there was flow OF good
humor among those who had been imbib
ing rather too freely for ordinary occa-
sions. As a consequence, although the
police were on the alert to prevent any
disturbance, there were but few arrests
made, and those only OF such as were I'M
able to conduct themselves properly. and
were taken in charge to get them out OF
20 W. haN nn1xy M mid N
to mention an account of which will be
found elsewhere.
CHERRY CREEK.-From q private letter
received by NJ. H. Lichtenstein, We
gather the following in regard to Cherry
Creek: The writer says the place is a
blk at present, but that it may be good
next Summer. The ontcroppings of the
mines are good, and several capitalists
were there trying to make bargains with
the miners. The mines are generally
owned by poor men. All the money in
Cherry Creek comes from the outside,
aud besides this many are arriving there
with just money enough to bring them
thinking to find employment, but in this
they were sadly disappointed, and al
such have had to find other camps rs bes
they could There was not employment
for any one except few carpenters, ant
those had to remain idle the greater par
of the time. ..-.
FROM PANIMlNr.- r.. p. Stevens, al
old Phoebe miner, has but recently re
turned from the Panimint mines in tn
Telescope mountains, on the west side O
Death Valley, and about 70 miles east O
Owens Lake. There were only about 3
men at the mines when Stevens left
about two months ago. He says r.
Stewart, of Havilah has sold his intel
ests for $50, 900. The formation of til
country is limestone, and some of tn
lodges show for mile and a half Q
more, while larger number can b
traced on the surface 400 or 500 ward.
AS be saw no chance for prospecting
does not think of returning.
NEW YEARS CALLs.-It is likely thu
this time-honored custom will be oil
served in Phoebe, but to what extent v
have no means of ascertaining. Som
families receive callers, others do no
out how is gentleman to know wheths
the people at the house he is approach
ing are receiving callers? In man
cl'les 1t is the custom to place bask,
at the front door, which is accepted as
signal that callers are not received, an
the callers place their cards in the baske
SAN JUAN AaAIN.-Almost daily letter
are received in Phoebe from some So
Juan adventurer. We saw letter ye
terday dated Del Norte, COL, Nov. 20,
which the writer says the San Jua
mines are creating great excitement
lne States, and that there will be gree
rush to the new Silverado in the Sprin,
FRANK P1c.-The item making inqu
RES for the present whereabouts Of Fran
PIC, brought us information of him fro
several different persons. It il mo-
IMAM likely that through tho item pu
hshed he will learn that his friends q
ANXIOUS about him, and that he will
once communicate with them. III

feaslee, the man who killed Antoni
Inc Mexican. some months ago, and wi
